There’s a new arcade-themed bar opening 30 minutes from Leeds

Tin can alley cocktails, nostalgic arcade games and classics basketball hoops- there’s so much to expect from Huddersfield’s latest bar, Carousel.

Carousel is going to be the first of its kind in Huddersfield.

A new arcade-bar is opening in Huddersfield and its going to be full of all our favourite games.

Opening this Friday, 28 January on Cross Church Street, Carousel is the latest bar to open that’s got us commuting from Leeds. Given the new bar is just thirty minutes from Leeds and will easily fill a full night’s activities with a range of old-school arcade games on its own, it’s definitely going to be worth the trip.

Ski ball, racing cars and a giant football table are just some of the set-ups available for you and your nearest and dearest to tackle as day turns to night and the new Carousel bar comes alive. Expect some serious competition, as well as live DJs during the weekends blaring out every tune to hit that Friday feeling you’ve been craving all week long.

All the arcade machines are token operated, with tokens available in the venue using either cash or card at one of the exchange machines or at the bar, making it easy to get your game face on and crush the competition. Alternatively, make the most of this high-tech bar and get yourself some tokens by downloading the Carousel app and ordering them directly to your table.

Expect fifteen different cocktails, each extravagantly created by in-house mixologists. The neon coloured drinks match the bright lights inside and are just as aesthetic as the rest of the Carousel set-up.

Drinks are inspired by all of our favourite fairground games and chocolate-covered treats that we would usually encounter as part of the experience. The Kinder Surprise is a sweet concoction of Eristoff Vodka, Baileys, hazelnut syrup, milk and chocolate sauce that’s appears to have been designed with our childhood favourite eggs at heart.

Meanwhile the Holy Handgrenade is a reminder of those old school shooting games: think Cointreau, Jäger and red bull as your very own double drop explosion of booze that’ll hit your stomach with a bang. There’s also the Pew Pew cocktail that promises a sure fire hit of flavour with Tanqueray Gin, lemon puree and sugar. It’s also available on a flight board sharer for four as a Tin Can Alley sharer.

All this racing around is bound to work up a healthy appetite and an equally colourful menu of Korean bao buns, fish tacos and halloumi sticks are just some of the tasty dishes on offer.

The four-page food menu will have you spoilt for choice. As if there weren’t enough options already, throw five different flatbread options, nine small plates, eight burgers and five different pizzas into the mix and you’ll certainly struggle to pick your favourites. The winner for us is the fact that they sell pigs in blankets all year round, so we’ll be ordering five rounds of JD honey and ale roasted chipolatas under crispy bacon strips, then looking at the rest of the menu.
