Top 10 must-reads this week including £44m stadium legal challenge, steakhouse revamp and more

IT’S been all about the lifestyle with this week as bars and restaurants respond to growing competition in Leeds and the wider region by getting bigger and better.

Leeds steak and seafood restaurant Blackhouse announced it will be getting a refresh for both its restaurant site and its menu which was a big hit with readers this week, as was the launch of a cocktail bar on Park Row.

The Thewlis Cocktail Lounge from property investors Westcourt looks like it could be a winner, but we’re biased towards anything involving a good beverage.

In other news, a major legal challenge from the Vue cinema chain is putting a whole £44m stadium development in York in jeopardy and it remains to be seen whether this new challenge can be combatted after the council has already struggled to make ends meet on the project.
