He said: “The bar has been open for two years and is a safe space for anyone and everyone of all ages, ethnicity and sexuality.

“After two years of closing at midnight, Zeon has applied to extend its licence by an hour on the two busiest evenings of the week, Friday and Saturday.

“It will still operate a last-entry policy, so revellers will need to head into the bar ahead of time to be able to carry on enjoying their evening.”

The bar said the move came as the hospitality industry has been hit hard, as people have less disposable income .
