NEW IN THE NORTH July 2007
TEEN ANGELS
Verve all-night diner, Leeds
Grab your Pink Lady jacket and backcomb your hair: 1950s America has come to Leeds with a new all-night diner and late-night music venue. By day, Verve on Merrion Street serves hamburgers, smoothies, and milkshakes aplenty and by night the two-floor diner’s basement transforms into a funk, soul and rock heaven with large sofas and cocktails from parent bar Reform.
Open from 9am to 4am most days, this is the perfect refuge from the busy city centre, after pubs close or for a break while shopping. Merrion Street, Leeds, +44 (0)113 244 4080
