JD Wetherspoon, which has acquired the former Revolution bar at York Buildings in George Street, has applied to change the opening hours so it can serve breakfast in line with its venues across the country.

Revolution closed in early November, reportedly after its bid to restructure the lease was rejected by the landlord.
The venue will become the second Wetherspoons in Bath, as the chain already operates The King of Wessex in James Street West.
Wetherspoons is asking Bath & North East Somerset Council for permission to vary the opening hours at the York Buildings premises so it can serve breakfast from 7am.
The planning application says that because the venue has recently operated until the early hours of the morning with no complaints, the earlier opening of 7am would not have a negative impact on neighbours as it is a “less sensitive” time than the consented closing time of 2.30am.
Consultation on the change ends on 27th February. The planning reference is 25/00278/VAR.
