The Brotherhood is set to be the centre of women's sports this summer.
Women's sports is about to get some much-deserved limelight over the summer season thanks to a new campaign from The Brotherhood.
Female sports stars will no longer stand in the shadows of their male counterparts, and (if we're honest), it's about time we saw more talented women on our screens.
As one of only a small handful of female-owned sports bars in the UK, The Brotherhood has been championing inclusivity since the very beginning of its journey. Founder and lifelong sports fanatic Seema Dhiman set up the cult brand after spotting a gap in the market for a more inviting and inclusive sports bar- and this message resonates with sports fans across Leeds and beyond to the present day.

This summer, the bar will be bringing the likes of Simona Halep and Karolina Pliskova to Katie Taylor, Alex Morgan and Leah Williamson all to the screens with back-to-back games.
Kicking off The Sisterhood's summer of women's sports, Wimbledon will be keeping the crowds entertained.
Guests will be able to witness the likes of Simona Halep, Karolina Pliskova and Ash Barty working their magic on the court up until Sunday 10 July- all whilst sipping on Wimbledon-themed cocktails, including a rather refreshing Strawberries and Cream.

Brotherhood will also see Manchester City Captain Steph Houghton passing the armband over to Arsenal's Leah Williamson at the UEFA Women's Euro tournament this summer, with every England game making it on to the screen. Plus, ‘Queen of the Palace’ Fallon Sherrock will be headlining the Betfred Women’s World Matchplay alongside Lisa Ashton in July.

Brotherhood Founder Seema Dhiman’s favourite sport is boxing, so it's no surprise to see the likes of two-weight world champion Katie Taylor on the bill for the summer- The bar is known to put on quite the show when it comes to boxing, so this will be an unmissable event at The Brotherhood this summer.
Speaking ahead of the Sisterhood campaign, Dhiman said:
‘’As a lifelong fan of sport, I’ve always had a passion for watching exceptional football, boxing, and tennis, whether played by men or women. Supporting women’s sport is nothing new at The Brotherhood - we’ve done it since day one - but, sadly it’s taking the rest of the industry far too long to catch up.’’
‘’2022 is set to be a stellar year for women in sport and what better way to put some of the best talent on a pedestal than a summer of girl power? Our Leeds and Manchester venues have always been a space for people of all walks of life to come together to enjoy sport, whether they like their footy with a burger and pint, or with a fancy cocktail or two.’’
‘’The time when girls who wanted to play football had no option other than to join a boys’ team is over, and we are now raising a generation of women who feel empowered from an early age. I happen to be a huge boxing fan and will be in the bar cheering on Katie Taylor’s next fight.’’
‘’I’m looking forward to inviting both existing patrons and new customers to watch some world-class women’s sport this summer and am proud team "Brotherhood are doing our bit to show women they can achieve anything they set their mind to.’’
Beloved Leeds restaurant Salvo's has closed suddenly due to 'unexpected dispute' with landlord.
Salvo's over on Otley Road in Headingley is a real Leeds institution.
Having first opened in 1976, it has been serving generations of families for fifty years with its authentic Italian menu.
The much loved restaurant announced the heartbreaking news to their social media today stating that the unexpected closure is down to an 'unexpected dispute' with their landlord.
The post read: "To our dearest customers, friends, and supporters,
"It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we must share some devastating news. Due to an unexpected dispute with our landlord, we have been forced to close our doors effective immediately.
"This morning, the landlord changed the locks and denied our team access to the premises. This means we are, with immediate effect, unable to honor any existing bookings, provide table service, or welcome you for the dining experience we love to create.
"We want to be unequivocally clear: We have always met our obligations, including rent and all bills. Our dedicated team has worked tirelessly, not just to serve exceptional food, but to build a community within our walls. Through the immense challenges of the hospitality economy, we fought to stay afloat, committed to our staff, our suppliers, and most of all, to you.
"Our hope now is to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. We remain committed to our dream and to serving you again."
The post continued: "From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your incredible support, your laughter that filled our dining room, and your loyalty. It has been our greatest honor to serve you.
"We will update you here as soon as we have more information. Please keep our team in your thoughts."
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism given green light to open in Leeds suburb
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain can now open a new branch in a Leeds suburb after plans have been agreed.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meandwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
Burgerism's new takeaway will be near the famed Zucco restaurant and The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
The planning officer's report stated that the applicant must give sufficient details of extraction equipment to prevent the odour for people living above.
It read: “The application site relates to a vacant ground floor premises within a parade of three commercial units in a local town centre. Above the premises are three floors of purpose-built self-contained flats.”
A design report by Burgerism read: “The proposal will ensure the continued use of a vacant hot food takeaway and will support the continued viability of the town centre of Meanwood, with an exciting new operator in the market.”
The brand-new Burgerism would employ 15 people from the local area and would serve food between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, so you can get your Burgerism fix.
