Leeds punters were bemoaning the loss of one of the city’s best-loved sun terraces earlier this year, but pub pool tables and outdoor games could soon bring back the sunshine.
The Yorkshire Evening Post’s City Buzz column reports the disappointment that accompanied the closure of The Lounge on the city’s Merrion Street.
“With summer just around the corner we were starting to panic at the thought of losing another city centre sun terrace,” the publication explains.
“But it sounds like the venue could get a revamp before the weather picks up.”
The team behind Roxy Ballroom have spoken exclusively to City Buzz, revealing plans to reopen the venue under the name Slate.
It would be a dedicated pool bar – with a combination of pub pool tables and potentially outdoor games to make the most of that much-loved sun terrace.
Jones Bar Group’s managing director Matt Jones said: “It will have a Victorian feel, to fit in with the building, and is completely different to our other ventures so far.
“The name obviously makes reference to the pool table slates, and it’s going to have seven pool tables.”
