The 44-year-old, who was out on licence, was returned to Leeds Magistrates' Court this week where he admitted breaking in to the same premises for a second time.
He targeted the bar - now called Lounge 20 - over the weekend, this time taking bottles of spirits worth £500.
Strong, formerly of Lumbley Street, Castleford, but now of no fixed address, was handed a new 12-week jail term and told to pay £128 costs.
