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.

Sophie Smith Sophie Smith - 8th February 2022

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.

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

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.

The Royal Park

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.

Pints of Knowledge, Callum Campbell’s fastest-growing event, is coming to Leeds city centre this summer

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

The pub night that's packing out venues across the UK is coming to Leeds.

Let us introduce you to Pints of Knowledge, a phenomenon founded by Callum Campbell that has built a social media following of more than 160,000 people.

This is different to your average night out, it's a chance to meet new people and spark interesting conversation all in the relaxing surroundings of a pub.

The event has attracted thousands to its unique mix of expert talks, conversation and community in pubs across the UK.

And if you're looking to get in on the action then you're in luck, because Pints of Knowledge is arriving at The Wardrobe on Sunday 9 August.

So, what can you expect? From landmark legal history and the hidden pressures behind big systems to the evolving language of gaslighting and radical cinema, Sunday's Leeds programme will demonstrate exactly why Pints of Knowledge has struck such a chord with audiences across the UK.

Founder Callum Campbell, who has spent more than a decade producing live events across Britain, said bringing the concept to Leeds was the natural next step - and we're so happy he thought so.

He said: "I've always wanted to bring Pints of Knowledge to more cities across England, and Leeds has such a strong appetite for ideas and conversation. Watching this grow has been amazing, and I can't wait to bring it here.

"As more people look for experiences beyond a traditional night out, Pints of Knowledge offers something different: expert speakers, thought-provoking conversations and the chance to meet new people, all in the relaxed surroundings of a pub.

"People still love going to the pub, but they're looking for more from the experience. Pints of Knowledge is about hearing incredible stories, asking questions, meeting interesting people and leaving having learned something new."

The Pints of Knowledge programme at The Wardrobe will look like this:

  • 12pm - Human rights lawyer Mahnoor Omer presents '10 Legal Cases that Changed History'.
  • 2pm - Georgina Shute asks 'Why billion-pound systems are built by people who can't finish their to-do lists'.
  • 4pm - Isobel Logan explores 'Gaslighting: The Evolution of a Concept Across Art, Relationships and Politics'.
  • 6pm - Angelos Koutsourakis will examine 'Third Cinema, The Global South & Climate Change'.

Campbell added: "One hour you can be unpacking landmark legal cases, the next you're hearing about the psychology behind gaslighting, before finishing the day exploring cinema and climate change. That's what makes Pints of Knowledge different.

"This is just the beginning. We've seen an incredible response across the UK, and we're excited to build on that by bringing Pints of Knowledge to more cities across the country.”

Pints of Knowledge takes place at The Wardrobe in Leeds on Sunday 9 August, and you can get your tickets here.

Beloved Leeds coffee brand announce opening date for ANOTHER city centre site

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

One of Leeds' most iconic brands is expanding yet again.

North Star Coffee Roasters are one of the early pioneers of specialty coffee in the North of England and among the UK’s first B Corp-certified coffee roasters.

They've been keeping the people of Leeds awake since 2013, and you'll find their coffee across the country as well as at their current city centre locations.

And there really is no stopping them as just one month after opening a lovely kiosk in the famed Victoria Quarter, North Star is opening another site on Great George Street. Hurrah!

You can find the new North Star opposite the LGI, sporting its fabulous bright colours that will be sure to wake you up even if the coffee doesn't.

At this site there will be all the caffeinated beverages as well as house-made bakes and sandwiches available to grab-and-go.

And we don't have long to wait to check it out, as they'll be opening their doors this Monday 27 July.

“While it’s easy to focus on the challenges facing hospitality, we still believe deeply in the role that cafés play in our city's community,” said Holly Kragiopoulos, CEO of North Star Coffee Roasters.

“They are places where people come together, to meet, to pause, to connect. Choosing to invest now is a reflection of our belief in Leeds, and in the long-term value of creating spaces people genuinely want to spend time in.”

“These new sites allow us to create meaningful opportunities for both new and existing team members,” Holly added.

“Hospitality is ultimately about people - both those we serve and those who make the experience possible. As a Leeds-born business, we’re incredibly proud to continue investing in our city. The support we’ve had from day one is what’s made this growth possible.”
