A 400-year-old historic building could be transformed into the new home for a luxury cocktail bar in Droitwich.
A licensing application was put forward for 31 High Street in the hopes to transform the building into a new trendy bar.
The proposal comes with plans to serve alcohol between 11am and 3am, which means the venue could become the first in Droitwich to sell alcohol that early into the morning.
Angelo Petritaj and Josef Millard have been working on the project for the past year and said they are hoping to serve customers a range of small plated food from lots of different cuisines.

Mr Petritaj, age 30, said he wants to offer a refined and luxury dining experience that is welcome to everyone.
He said: "We want to open a luxury cocktail bar offering small foods with live events and music.
"We will serve continental food like Spanish, Italian, Indian and I want to introduce stone-baked pizza.
"We chose this building because there is so much character in the building and it has so much to offer.

"The venue is in a historic building for the town and we are trying to convert it.
"We don't want to change the character of the building, we want to work around it.
"There is nothing in town late at night so all the people from Droitwich, especially on the weekends after a meal, go to Birmingham or Worcester.
"People are not staying in Droitwich and we want to bring the local economy a little bit up.
"It'll bring more taxis in the area as well because people will want to go home in a taxi after drinking.
"We're not sure if we'll get it at 3am, but we will absolutely be flexible, we might get 1am.
"We have been working on the project for a year.
"We want to create something people will come to visit.
"It'll be a listed building that has turned into a bar."
"We want to offer something different, you might see a place like this in London, Manchester or Birmingham but we want to integrate it into Droitwich."
