A new £3m rooftop bar and restaurant has opened in Leeds city centre.
After two years of planning and preparation Green Room is now open. Arriving just in time for summer, the vegan-friendly, multifunctional venue will be a coffee shop in the daytime and turn into a bar in the evening.
The new opening is based next to the Majestic Building which is home to Channel 4. Coffee comes from North Star Coffee Roasters and from Thursday, June 9 food will be provided by award-winning vegan cafe Grön.

Craft beers and ales are supplied from award-winning breweries from the area including Northern Monk, Kirkstall Brewery and Magic Rock. The rooftop bar will also offer a wide selection of cocktails.
DJs and summer barbecues are planned for the rooftop bars. Green Room is also home to a pair of two-bedroom apartments.
Green was devised by Will Habergham and Kirk Allen, who have spent the past decade working in clubs, events, and music festivals. New Zealander Will took inspiration for the concept from a trip back home.
Will said: “We’re all really proud of the Green Room project and are confident that we have the perfect mix of exceptional plant-based food from Grön, as well as an incredible selection of drinks from the likes of North Star, Kirkstall Brewery and Northern Monk. The venue itself looks amazing, and is designed to work both in and outdoors, to cater to the often-unpredictable Leeds weather.”
Green Room took two years to come to fruition. Both directors are delighted to see it open.
Kirk said: “After a challenging two years spent planning, prepping, and renovating, we’re really excited to be finally open. We believe the people in this city are more than ready to embrace venues that champion a strong focus on sustainability and healthier living, whilst also providing a setting and atmosphere that’s both fresh and unique to the city. We can’t wait to welcome our first guests this weekend.”
