£3m restaurant and rooftop bar ready to open in city centre

Green Room, a social space, eatery and rooftop bar in Leeds, is set for a spring launch.

After two years of planning and preparation, the vegan-friendly, multifunctional £3m venue will function as a coffee bar and eatery by day, and a bar by night.

Located next to the renovated Majestic Building and the new Channel 4 HQ, the team behind Green Room say they will offer an “unrivalled” collection of vegan-friendly dishes and drink menus.

Food will be provided by the vegan cafe, Grön. Guests can expect to see classic Grön brunch dishes such as the Avocado on Toast and Vegan Pancakes with Blueberry compote, coconut yogurt, fresh blueberries, mint, biscoff crumb and maple syrup.

For lunch, the healthy Buddha Bowls and the signature Sweet Potato Halloumi Hash will be available.

Coffee connoisseurs will be able to get their caffeine fix courtesy of North Star Coffee Roasters.

Evening and night time diners can expect an array of vegan-friendly dishes on the main menu, including the signature Burger with Meatless Farm patty, vegan mozzarella, crispy bacon, and all the trimmings.

The Fried Ch*cken consists of fricken strips topped with wasabi cashew mayo, hot sauce, fresh chilli, spring onions and coleslaw.

And the Hot Dawg includes a Meatless Farm sausage in a soft brioche bun, loaded up with cheese, jalapeños, and crispy onions with a side of loaded fries.

Green Room bar will be stocked with craft beers and ales from local breweries, including Northern Monk, Kirkstall Brewery and Magic Rock.

The rooftop bar will serve up a selection of cocktails ranging from a Watermelon Mojito and Peach Margarita to a North Star Espresso Martini.

Green Room is also home to a pair of two-bedroom apartments, which are available to rent on Booking.com and Expedia.

The venue is the brainchild of entrepreneurs Will Habergham and Kirk Allen, who have spent the past decade working in clubs, events, and music festivals.

Allen said: “After a challenging two years spent planning, prepping, and renovating, we’re really excited to launch our concept in Leeds.

“We believe the people in this city are more than ready to embrace venues that champion a strong focus on sustainability and healthier living, whilst also providing a setting and atmosphere that’s both fresh and unique to the city.”

Habergham, added: “We’re all really proud of Green Room project and are confident we have the perfect mix of exceptional plant-based food from Grön, as well as an incredible selection of drinks from the likes of North Star, Kirkstall Brewery and Northern Monk.

“The venue itself looks amazing, and is designed to work both in and outdoors, to cater to the often-unpredictable Leeds weather.”
