GRIDIRON fans could descend on a popular Rhos-on-Sea bar for hot dogs and light beer when the biggest American Football game of the year takes place next month – if a temporary licensing application is granted.
Hickory’s Smokehouse on Llandudno Road has applied to Conwy County Council’s licensing department, seeking planning permission to extend its hours on Sunday 9 February and Monday 10 February.
The bar wants to remain open after 11pm on Sunday, closing at 5am on Monday morning.
That’s because the American-themed bar and grill is hosting a Super Bowl night.
The big game takes place at the Caesar’s Superdome, the home stadium of the Saints, in New Orleans, Louisiana, which is six hours behind the UK.
The Rhos-on-sea event, though, must be rubberstamped by Conwy’s licensing department.
Any residents who would like to oppose or support the event have until Thursday 30 January to make representations.
The big game will see the Kansas City Chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles, with the Chiefs now just one victory away from an unprecedented three Super Bowl wins in a row.
The Chiefs made it to the big game after beating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in what was described as a thrilling game.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service approached Hickory’s Smokehouse for a comment.
