Leeds café and bar brand, Residence, has announced plans to expand with a new outlet in Moortown.
Residence is to open a new venue in Moortown in spring which will be the third location for the popular eatery that already operates in Headingley and Cookridge.
Residence Moortown will focus on a new day-to-night concept by aiming to blend the comfort of a coffee shop with the sophistication of an evening cocktail bar. Customers can expect the same great tasting food and commitment to quality that Residence is loved for, including ethically sourced coffees, home baked goods, and mouth-watering breakfasts and brunch dishes.
Alongside this, its new concept will create an atmosphere that takes the bar from relaxed daytime vibes to a lively evening venue with freshly made pizzas and expertly crafted cocktails.
Located in the former Barclays Bank building on Harrogate Road, the venue will offer seating for 100 diners and boast contemporary interiors with a blend of cosy and chic design elements. The old bank vault has been creatively repurposed into a traditional-style private dining room offering an intimate and unique dining experience. There will also be an outdoor dining area perfect for lazy al fresco brunches, and its great news for gluten free customers too, as the brand readily accommodates all allergies.
Residence General Manager, Nate Smith, said: “We are always looking to improve and evolve our offer, and we are really excited to bring something a bit different to customers with this new dual-purpose venue. Moortown is an energetic and vibrant neighbourhood which makes it the ideal location for our expansion and new concept, and we are very much looking forward to revealing all to our customers.”
