Lounge Review
Itchy Guide (Leeds)
01 : 10 : 2004

Springing up from nowhere in what used to be the home of an insurance company, Lounge has made full use of the mock Tudor features of this impressive venue. In fact if dear old Willie Shakespeare was still around this would be the perfect setting for him to compose a few sonnets about the buxom lasses and bawdy blokes of fair Leeds. Not that the clientele here belong to that crowd, you’re more likely to be mingling with sharp suited Leeds entrepreneurs hammering expense accounts than shop assistants downing Bacardi Breezers. It's a fine bar with an inviting array of wines and champagnes, complimenting an accomplished predominantly English menu.

The paved garden are a perfect place to relax in the sun with outside heaters ensuring you won’t be shivering in your blouse as the inevitable Northern tempests appear. Lounge offers a cultured and relaxing drinking and dining, plus with an 80 cover upstairs restaurant on its way, you’ll soon be embodying the spirit of that famous playwright and be enthusiastically waxing lyrical non stop about this place until you eventually get bard! (boom boom!)
