Local tips

  • If you prefer a quieter experience, aim for weekday mornings for brunch; evenings and weekends are livelier and often host DJs or events.
  • The rooftop terrace is best on sunny afternoons or mild evenings—ask staff about terrace seating when you arrive as it can be limited when busy.
  • Menu leans plant-forward but includes some fish and meat dishes—check the daily menu for seasonal specials and small plates ideal for sharing.

Discover more about Green Room

A building with two faces

Green Room occupies a striking red-brick structure on Wellington Street where industrial bones — exposed beams, high ceilings and raw finishes — meet modern interventions. The designers have kept the building’s historic character visible while layering contemporary furniture, warm metals and a deliberate profusion of plants; the result is simultaneously rustic and polished, a reclaimed urban space that feels both rooted and current.

Daytime: brunch, coffee and plant-forward plates

During daylight hours the venue reads as a daytime eatery: long communal tables, scattered smaller booths and a service model that prioritises counter ordering for speed. The menu leans heavily on plant-based and vegetarian options alongside a small number of fish and meat dishes, and local coffee roasters supply espresso-driven drinks. Light filters through the windows and the greenery softens acoustics, so mornings and early afternoons feel relaxed and café-like.

Evening character and the rooftop terrace

As the sun sets the atmosphere shifts — low lighting, music and a fuller drinks list change the mood toward socialising and late-night conviviality. A key feature is the rooftop terrace: an elevated al-fresco space with layered seating, heaters and planters that extends usable months beyond summer. The terrace offers glimpses over the surrounding cityscape and is a distinct draw for daytime sun or evening drinks, especially when events or live DJs animate the space.

Food, drink and local sourcing

Green Room balances casual bar snacks with heartier brunch plates and a compact set of mains; flavours favour seasonal vegetables, bold condiments and shareable plates designed for groups. The bar programme showcases local craft beers and a cocktail list that complements the menu’s clean, ingredient-led approach. Expect a moderate price band consistent with central Leeds bar-eateries, where portion sizes and a bright ingredient focus are part of the offering.

Atmosphere and practical vibe

The venue’s personality is young and social: lively at weekends, more relaxed midweek. Interiors can feel energetic and buzzy when busy; the mix of communal seating, smaller tables and a lively bar area means sound carries and the place suits gatherings, dates and social meet-ups rather than quiet working sessions. Planting and finish choices give the space a distinctive green, reclaimed aesthetic that shapes the overall sensory impression.

Notable details and accessibility notes

Beyond the rooftop, the Green Room is notable for its layered use of space — a lower bar area that spills into seating and an upper terrace that can be adapted seasonally with heaters and coverings. The venue operates late into the night on weekends, with extended bar hours and occasional live events. Facilities typical of a city-centre bar and café are present, though layout and step levels mean that certain seating areas may be less convenient for guests with mobility restrictions.
