Located within the restored former HSBC building at 4 Baxtergate, The Treasury will initially launch with a drinks-led offering, welcoming guests daily from 8am until late.
The opening marks a major milestone in the transformation of the iconic Grade II listed building, blending historic character with contemporary hospitality.
In a speech to guests at today’s launch (June 3), owner Ali Hussain said: “It means a huge amount to us and more importantly, hopefully, for Whitby as well.
"It’s just an iconic building that has meant so much to so many families.”
Mayor of Whitby, Coun Sandra Turner, officially cut the ribbon and said: “This building is absolutely fabulous, you’ve done an amazing job.
"Many of us that have been here for a long time used this as our local bank.
"I can remember all of these beautiful fixtures and fittings that you’ve retained – it’s absolute stunning.
"I wish you all the health, happiness and wealth in this bar that you can get.”
Thee and Me offered musical entertainment as guests mingled and took a good look around.
