New Havana style club with a tropical twist set to open in Leeds

A £1m waterside club which hopes to become the “go-to destination” is coming to Leeds next month.

The Canal Club, in Granary Wharf, will be launched on December 9 but Canal Cafe will open its doors in Spring 2022.

The club, which has had a £1m investment to create a multisensory space, will offer live music, food and cocktails.

In the venue, the walls and ceilings will be dripping with palm leaves and bougainvillaea (a type of ornamental climbing plant) are peppered throughout, whilst neon signage, twinkling lights and kitsch furnishings mean that no two tables are alike.

A spokesperson for the club said the tropical flair is designed to take guests to a Havana-style club night.

Speaking ahead of the launch, Operations Director Jade Renner said: “We’ve put a lot of thought into Canal Club.

"From how we want it to look to the type of food and drinks we’re choosing to serve, no stone has been left unturned. The pandemic gave us time to think about what it is that people are looking for when they socialise now.

“People tend to go out earlier, but still want to feel like they’re getting the music and atmosphere they might expect on an evening. We’ve covered all bases and are certain that Canal Club will be the new go-to destination for those who like something a little different.”

The café will offer a selection of coffees as well as grab ‘n’ go breakfast options and sweet treats as well as granola gardens and charcuterie jars, and freshly baked pastries. On the weekends, there will be bottomless brunch at the venue.

The menu also includes tapas dishes and light bites like Beet Hummus Toast, sliders, salt and pepper squid and sweet potato crostini.

Jade added: “We want to look after our guests so the seated table service enables us to offer everyone the opportunity to unwind, without having to take it in turns to go up to the bar. It’s an eclectic space, with lots of picture-perfect fixtures and fittings.

"Our food and drinks are also exceptional and are presented in a way that adds to the whole experience for our guests. We’re looking forward to welcoming people when we open next month because we do have to be seen to be believed.”
