The Mayor, Coun Margaret Pattison, officially relaunched The Sir Richard Owen on Spring Garden Street in Lancaster on Tuesday.
First opened as a Wetherspoon in October 2001, the pub has been upgraded and extended, including a large new beer garden.
The refurbishment has created an additional 20 full- and part-time jobs.
“The £2.4 million investment highlights Wetherspoon’s commitment to the pub, its staff and customers, and to Lancaster itself,” said pub manager Tom Rossall.
The Sir Richard Owen will be open from 8am until midnight Sunday to Thursday and 8am until 1am Friday and Saturday, with food served daily from opening until 11pm.
Families are welcome with children, accompanied by an adult, until 9pm each evening.
The new beer garden will open to customers from Monday, September 29.
