A restaurant which offers food discounts to redheads launches a new bar tonight - with special deals for gingers.

Gingers Grill in Prestatyn has been offering money off food to genuine carrot tops since opening exactly a year ago.

The offer, dreamt up by former ginger boss Mark Linaker, attracted global attention and remains a talking point for customers coming to the restaurant.

Now Mark is set to expand the site with a new upstairs bar opening tonight.

Mark - who has shaved off his own receding ginger hair - said the redhead discount will continue on selected ginger themed cocktails but added that beyond the gimmick this bar would bring something new to Prestatyn.

He said: The bar, named The Upstairs - will offer something that is not in the town at the moment, there will be open mic nights, lots of live music, folk nights, and also a 100inch screen for sports.

There will always be something different going on and we have a licence to 3am as well.

He added: The ginger discount has done so well for us that we will bring this upstairs with money off on ginger themed cocktails that we will develop.

The offer continues to make customers laugh, there isnt a day when we dont get a few comments on it and it makes people smile. Its a great talking point.

The addition of the bar will bring the total number of jobs at the site up to 14 and Mark hopes to expand the brand in the future.

He said: Over the year we have made changes here and there to the restaurant and we now feel we have everything the way we want it. We will now get the bar opened and then start to look at another site.

We are interested in coming to Bangor and think the brand would fit in well there but well first focus on getting the new bar right.
