Reading bar, restaurant and microbrewery Zerodegrees, which is opposite the Reading Chronicle offices on Bridge Street, is seeking a late-night booze licence covering a larger area.
The small chain – with sites also in Bristol, Cardiff and London – wants to extend its licence to sell alcohol to 1am.
Currently, the three-floor Reading Zerodegrees can open and sell booze from midday to 11pm, seven days a week.
