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.
An award-winning burger chain is expanding and opening in Leeds city centre.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties, funky branding, and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.

The chain opened their first Leeds site in Meanwood just last month, and now they'll be opening a takeaway in the city centre on the bustling Boar Lane.
Just moments away from Call Lane, you just know there'll be plenty of punters popping in after a couple beers and we don't blame them, as we'll be doing the exact same.
Highlights on the menu will, as always, include the fan-favourite Cheesed (two smashed patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and the brand’s signature sauce, served in a seeded brioche bun), as well as a range of chicken burgers, fries, and wings.
Everything is made fresh to order, and even their sauces and dips are made entirely in-house.Â
We don't know the exact opening date just yet, but we do know that it's taking over the old Gyros Greek Food spot.
We will of course keep you updated as and when we find out more.
Coincidentally, it will be opening right across from another new burger restaurants named Urban Fresh Burgers. Did someone say...battle of the burgers?
A brand-new frozen yoghurt bar is coming to Leeds
Clementine Hall
Everyone's in love with frozen yoghurt, and Leeds is about to get more of it.
Over the past year, the UK has become a little bit obsessed with frozen yoghurt - and Leeds is no exception.
We've had Kefiyo open in Headingley which met to queues round the block for weeks, as well as the UK's leading froyo brand Frurt open up in Kirkstall.
And now, there's a newbie on the block.

Introducing 'Yo-Go', your newest frozen yoghurt bar that will be opening up in Leeds' Hyde Park.
We don't know much about Yo-Go yet, but we do know it's female owned and is sporting some pretty cute branding.
The space is currently undergoing renovation, with the owner posting that she received the keys just a couple of days ago.
The window vinyls are up, and people are already getting very excited about the opening as they flock to the comments of Yo-Go's first Instagram post.
Announcing the news of their opening, Yo-Go wrote: "GUYS!! WE’VE GOT THE KEYS. And apparently they don’t come with a finished shop… rude.
"While we get to work, we need your input. Toppings, flavours, very specific requests, we’re taking notes. Drop them below and I’ll try my best to make it happen x"
Comments included requests for 'unlimited toppings' as well as warm sauces, cookie dough, marshmallow and honeycomb.
Sounds pretty delicious if you ask us, but for now, it looks like there's still some work to be done before the shop is ready to welcome its first customers.
We don't know of an opening date just yet, but we'll keep you updated as and when we do.
