The hibernation is over and the time has finally come to welcome Green Room back to Leeds - now newly-expanded and better than ever before.
The beloved city centre venue, famed especially for its huge rooftop terrace, has unveiled a new look after expanding into the building next door.
Green Room 2.0 features a brand-new basement space with live music and tequila cocktails, set to 'redefine what Leeds' nightlife can be'.

By day, there'll be bottomless brunches (brunch tacos, huevos rancheros, bottomless fizz, beers, spritzes, spicy mango margaritas and passionfruit coolers) served up alongside a live band.
And as the hours while by, the new Green Room basement space will transform into a late-night club with live music and DJs until the early hours.

Events in this brand-new space will include open mic nights, burlesque shows, comedy and loads more.
Resident food legends Bastard's Bistro are delivering a new brunch and lunch menu, served until 4pm every day including a bottomless brunch and Sunday roasts at weekends, with local independent pop-ups on the terrace in the evenings.

There's a bigger bar and a spacious new bar area, and that legendary rooftop terrace has been given a boost with a roofed area and connection straight to the new loos.
Speaking ahead of the reopening, owner Will Habergham said ‘Green Room has always been about bringing people together, and with this expansion, we’re taking that to the next level.

"From bold new flavours in the kitchen to a late-night vibe like no other in the basement, we can’t wait for everyone to experience what we’ve been working on.
"Leeds deserves a space that’s vibrant, welcoming, and totally unique and this is it."
Green Room officially reopens today, Friday 14 February, with an open invite to their launch party from 8pm.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Edge's Pizza said: "Well there’s good reason for our silence over the last few months, (planning permission pending) we’ve got a home! Seven months of looking and we’ve learnt so much on this journey already, from investment that didn’t work out, to dodgy buildings not fit for purpose. We’ve got there in the end.
"All that to say, we pride ourselves on perfection and wouldn’t settle for anything less. We hope this will be worth the wait, and that you’ll support us on this next huge step. We are terrified to say the least, but we’re also so excited and immensely grateful to you our lovely customers for this opportunity."

This would be great news for Leeds, as their pizza is something unlike anything we have in the city at the moment.
Forget the floppy, Neapolitan-slices that you fold before shoving in your gob. These slices are satisfyingly thin, perfectly crispy and just downright delicious.
We would love to welcome Edges Pizza to the city and we'll keep you updated with the progress. You can bet we'll be the first to order.
Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Clementine Hall
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
