Five Guys burger chain refused permission to serve alcohol outdoors at new Dundee Overgate restaurant

Five Guys had hoped to serve alcohol outside the Overgate.
US burger chain Five Guys, which is due to open a restaurant in Dundee’s Overgate Centre, has been forced to back down on proposals to extend an alcohol licence to an external seating area on the south side of the Overgate.
Despite hearing claims that alcohol was responsible for less than 1% of the restaurant’s sales, Dundee City Council’s licensing board ruled against allowing diners access to alcohol in the external seating area due to public drinking fears.
Maryfield councillor Georgina Cruikshank said: “Nothing I have heard today convinces me that this is workable.”
