Leeds city restaurant and rooftop bar set for a spring launch after two years preparation

A new £3m rooftop bar and plant-based restaurant, Green Room, is finally set to open this summer after two years of planning and preparation.

This newest addition to the Leeds nightlife and leisure scene is a collaboration between entrepreneurs Will Habergham and Pj Gardner, who have spent the past decade working in clubs, events, and music festivals.

The vegan-friendly, multifunctional £3m venue will function as a coffee bar and restaurant by day, and a bar by night.
