The upstairs of the former 1331 bar in Grape Lane, close to York Minster is currently being turned into a first floor restaurant called Pig and Potato specialising in homemade sausages and mash.
Owners Sam and Jan Robinson ran 1331 bar and grill for about 20 years before it closed earlier this year.
Sam will be doing the cooking at Pig and Potato and says the menu will also be gluten free.
"There will still be a bar at the front of the upstairs so people can come in for drinks and have cocktails. There'll be a bit of a 13s vibe, but there'll be more food," said Sam.
"We are going for a black and white colour scheme - it'll be a bit more urban in look with exposed brickwork.
"It will be a modern bar with a bit more of a speakeasy vibe to it, and the pool room will also be open again."
