Green Room is set to reopen next month with a brand new late-night live music basement.
Located on Wellington Street just a stones throw away from Leeds train station, Green Room is an award-winning social space and it's not hard to see why.
It's the place to be for sun-drenched drinks on the terrace during summer, a great rotating food menu and an unbeatable party atmosphere when the sun goes down.
And now, it's about to get even better than ever before.
Following a period of refurbishment, Green Room is set to reopen on Friday 14 February with a huge new expansion.

There'll now be a late night basement bar and events space with live music and tequila cocktails as well as a spacious new bar area designed to host more guests whilst maintaining the intimate atmosphere that Green Room is famed for.
Every Saturday they'll be hosting a margarita bottomless brunch complete with tacos, huevos rancheros and a live band to really get the party going. That's our Saturdays booked up from now on.
There'll be an extended menu from Bastard's Bistro serving delicious brunch and lunch dishes alongside seasonal cocktails.

And of course, their iconic rooftop space will be enhanced featuring a roofed area usable come rain or shine.
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."
To mark the opening, everyone is invited from 8pm on Friday 14 February to celebrate with 2-4-1 cocktails, live music from local artists and DJs playing all night long.
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.
The UK’s Top 50 Gastropubs have been revealed – and six are in Yorkshire
Clementine Hall
The Top 50 gastropubs in the UK have been revealed, and it’s safe to say we’re well and truly spoilt here in Yorkshire.
This year’s prestigious Estrella Damn Gastropubs awards, also known as the ‘pub Oscars’, took place this week - and a whopping six Yorkshire pubs have made it onto the list.
Coming in at number 5 is The Star Inn (Harome, North Yorkshire), a critically acclaimed Michelin-star pub that has had a turbulent few years after burning down in 2020 and reopening only in late 2021.
This certainly hasn't stopped the pub winning numerous accolades since, and it's not hard to see why with when it's described as "the perfect country pub" by the prestigious awards.
Coming in just behind at number six is The Angel (Hetton, Skipton), praised for its "pub food reimagined in a cosy environment that looks out across stunning landscapes."
At number 12 is The Abbey Inn (Byland, North York Moors), the third venue from The Great British Menu' winner and Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks.
This spot also won Sustainable Pub of the Year for 2025, so it's safe to say its scooping up the accolades left, right and centre.
Coming in at number 30 is the one we're most excited about it has to be said, The Highland Laddie is our very own city centre pub that has taken the foodie world by storm since it opened back in May last year.
Having just received a glowing review from Jay Rayner and bagging the Good Food Guide's Best Pub in Britain for 2025, this is a spot we're very proud to have in our city.
The Pipe and Glass (South Dalton, Yorkshire) has been placed at number 31 where guests can dine on "hearty and moreish dishes only, cooked from the heart."
And finally for our delicious county, at number 49 is The Shibden Mill Inn (Halifax, Yorkshire), which has held a spot on the list since 2020 and also snapped the title of Best Pub for Food at the 2022 Great British Pub Awards.
