All the best places to watch the Superbowl LVI 2022 in Leeds
The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams, Eminem and Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg and Mary J Blige, Budweiser and hot dogs: whatever the combo you're there for, it's going to be a night to remember.
There's plenty of Superbowl specials to choose from in Leeds.
This Sunday, the annual Superbowl event in California will be streamed around the world and regardless of whether you're watching for the football or the half-time events, you'll need somewhere to watch all the action from.
Here in Leeds, we're pretty passionate about our sports, so much so that Leeds United fans have been voted the most supportive in the Premier League. Our excitement for all things sports extends far further than our home team, so naturally when the Superbowl comes around, we're going to make a big effort to find a screen to watch it on.
Expect plenty of pints before and during the game before watching the likes of Eminem, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J Blige and Kendrick Lamar on the stage during the half time entertainment.
Given its a late night affair, and on a Sunday night, the occasion has called for late permits and extended opening hours to all our favourite bars. So head out, grab yourself a pint and seat and take in the game with like-minded fans at all of these spots in Leeds.
Serving food til 1am, it’ll be a go hard or go home kinda late Sunday night at The Box for the Super Bowl. It’s going to be a wild night and you absolutely should book a ticket in advance, this one will be heavily booked up. There's 16 screens all in glorious high definition as well as shuffleboard, beer pong and late night pizza.
If there's an event to be excited about, it's Springwell's Superbowl extravaganza. You'll be well-fed with hot dogs and wings from Kerbside Kids, there'll be a whole load of draught pints available and some special American cocktails. The only thing short of an authentic US experience is a t-shirt gun, but we're told to expect some big touchdown tee giveaways. Tickets cost just £10 and include food and drink- but you'll want to get in there quickly as they're selling fast.
The Nomadic Beer Taproom will host a late night opening for the Superbowl in their heated winter room, so there's no risk of shivering through the game after midnight here. Tickets cost £15 to enter but includes two pints or non-alcoholic alternatives and a buffet. The taproom will be open from 10pm on Sunday 13 February until 30 mins after game finishes in the early hours.
It's no surprise that Walkabout will be hosting a Superbowl event. At the home of live sports in Leeds, the bar will be bringing the biggest night in American Football live to you through the TV and expect a firm divide between Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams at this one. Booking in advance will be essential to getting a decent seat here, though you're unlikely to be turned away if you turn up on the night as there's no tickets for entry.
There's offers aplenty at The Library, making it one of the best value Superbowl events in the city. Ordering on the app will result in a free plate of chicken wings between 10 and 11pm and there will be late night specials on energy-based drinks, including Firebombs as the game enters the early hours of the morning. Get into the true American spirit and prebook your seat with Budweiser buckets of 6 - 12 beers, a bottle of Smirnoff or you can keep the beer flowing all night with a beer tower or five litre keg of Brewdog.
One of the most popular options for the Superbowl showing has already sold out of its original tickets, but you can add yourself to the waitlist for this year's Superbowl shoeing at Belgrave. There's good reason for the sellout too: the bar will be serving all american beers, chilli dogs and loads of veggie and vegan alternatives inspired by the US games. Tickets have a strict 15 minute window, so make sure you take your seat between 9 and 9.15pm otherwise they'll be offered out to those waiting.
Mojo is all about combining shabby New York City dive style chic with great cocktails and music from the last six decades but for one night only, the bar will be showing the Superbowl in true NYC style. As the bar is usually open until 4am, so the won't be any yawns behind the bar- but the difference here is that Jack Daniels NFL Cocktails will be on sale.
As a student-favourite, The Royal Park can be found in Hyde Park serving up inexpensive drinks with all the sporting action live on TV. This classic pub will be serving up pints all night long and offering the chance for you to order Budweisers by the bucket and play a few games of pool if you get bored of the 56th Superbowl- though we doubt that'll happen.
A popular package holiday company has launched a new ‘Beckham Clause’ to help protect feuding families.
It's official… family fallouts are now holiday-proof, thanks to a new ‘Beckham Clause’ that’s been launched by a Manchester-based travel company On The Beach in the wake of the ongoing – and at this point, inescapable – Beckham family feud.
In case you need bringing up to speed, then allow us to (briefly) sum up the Beckham family drama for you as best as possible.
Basically, at the centre of this discourse the eldest Beckham child, Brooklyn, his wife Nicola Peltz, and primarily his mum Victoria, although as the months have gone on, it appears there’s no member of the Beckham family that isn’t somewhat involved (okay, maybe not Harper… well at least not publicly, anyway).

Earlier this month, it was reported that Brooklyn had become estranged from his family, and had told his parents to contact him only through lawyers.
And then yesterday, of course, Brooklyn publicly spoke out about the accusations on his Instagram Stories for the first time ever… and all hell broke loose in the celebrity news world.
On the Beach’s new clause – officially titled the Family Fallout Refund, and already nicknamed the ‘Beckham Clause’ by bosses – aims to give holidaymakers peace of mind that no matter how messy things get at home, their getaway won’t suffer, as it applies to family holidays where one member suddenly drops out due to a feud, argument, or full-blown emotional meltdown.
Under the new policy, if a family member pulls out before departure, their share of the hotel booking will be refunded rather than leaving the rest of the group to foot the bill.
Family fallouts aren’t just limited to celebrities, every year hundreds of holiday bookings need amending due to feuds, On The Beach said, which is why it’s chosen to launch the new refund scheme.
“We love family holidays, but we’re also very aware that family fallouts cam hamper plans,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Chief Customer Officer at On the Beach.
“The ‘Beckham Clause’ is there for those moments when someone decides they’d rather cool off at home than by the pool.
“Our new perk means that if a family feud takes place and one person drops out, the rest of the group can still head off, relax, and enjoy the holiday they were looking forward to.”
The Family Fallout Refund is available on family holidays with five or more people, and needs to be claimed at least 60 days before departure.
It applies to new and existing bookings departing on or before 31 August 2026.
Three-acre padel court development set to move into historic Leeds landmark
Clementine Hall
Leeds-based Ollo Padel have revealed plans for a new three-acre padel and leisure destination at The Roundhouse.
It seems like padel is taking over the world at the moment, and it's about to take over Leeds.
Three years after the plans were first put forward, Ollo Padel is set to bring a state-of-the-art padel and leisure centre to the outskirts of the city centre.
The Roundhouse is a Grade II listed Victorian landmark that first opened in 1847 and will be brought back to everyday use as a community-led space before the end of 2026.

The new space will feature five covered and four open courts, alongside hospitality and social spaces, retail space, fitness studios, gyms and more.
Being a Leeds-based company, Ollo Padel are working to put Leeds’ communities at the heart of the new centre, with plans for free school coaching lessons, school partnerships, inclusive programmes for women and juniors and focusing on providing a non-intimidating environment for all-ages and abilities.
The development is expected to create 14 permanent on-site roles, spanning coaching, front-of-house, hospitality and operations, with a strong commitment to local recruitment.

Will Linley, Co-Founder (Founder of Linley & Simpson) said: “These proposals focus on sensitively bringing one of Leeds’ most iconic buildings back to life — restoring the Roundhouse and creating a place people can enjoy, feel proud of and use as part of everyday city life.
“Padel is a brilliant way to bring people together. We’re designing Ollo around the social side of the sport — creating a place that supports both physical and mental wellbeing through movement, play and connection”
Luke Gidney, Founder, Ollo Padel said: “We are so excited about the opportunity to create this centre for Leeds. We’re still at an early stage, and that really matters to us, because it means local residents, businesses and community groups can help shape the plans. We want to listen, learn and make sure the Roundhouse works day to day for the people around it.”
