Leeds café and bar brand Residence has revealed the opening date for its exciting new day-to-night concept in Moortown.
The venue will open its doors to customers on Wednesday 21st May at 9am, bringing the comfort of a coffee shop combined with the sophistication of an evening cocktail bar, to the popular North Leeds suburb.
By day, customers can expect fantastic coffee, mouth-watering breakfasts and delicious brunch dishes. At night, things heat up with an atmosphere that takes the bar from relaxed daytime vibes to an elegant and lively nighttime venue.
The evening menu features a variety of small plates from crispy arancini and baked meatballs to creamy Burrata with pesto, perfect for sharing. Guests can also enjoy a mouth-watering selection of pizzas, including standout flavours like Vodka Puttanesca, Pepperoni and Hot Honey, and Cheesesteak, all complemented by a curated list of expertly crafted cocktails.
Located in the former Barclays Bank building on Harrogate Road, the venue offers seating for 100 guests, set against a backdrop of cosy, contemporary interiors.
The original bank vault has been cleverly transformed into a traditional-style private dining room, providing a unique and intimate setting for special occasions. Outside, a heated terrace seats 35, making it the perfect spot for relaxed summer brunching or evening cocktails.
Residence Moortown will be the third location for the popular eatery, which began as a small café in Cookridge in 2018. Headingley followed in early 2023 and both have grown into thriving businesses focused on delicious food and excellent customer experience.
Residence general manager, Nate Smith, said: “After months of planning to create a beautiful and inviting café and bar space, we’re thrilled to finally open the doors to our new venue in Moortown. This new dual-purpose setting brings something a bit different for our customers to enjoy, and we have lots in store - day and night - to keep everyone’s tastes satisfied!
Moortown is a vibrant and energetic neighbourhood, making it the perfect place to launch our new concept. We’re really excited to open the doors and welcome customers to experience it for themselves.”
