Stonegate launches 'beerhall and ballroom' concept
Stonegate will open Rita’s Beerhall and Ballroom in Leeds in December.
A former Walkabout site in the centre of Leeds will reopen as Rita's Beerhall and Ballroom in December.
The new concept is the latest brand from Stonegate Group, as it looks to capitalise on the growing appetite for beer hall venues around the UK.
The group has invested £1m in transforming the former Walkabout site into a "beerhall for cocktail lovers". The aim is that the venue will become known for its seven-day-a-week programme of live music and entertainment.
"In the past few years, the way in which guests socialise has rapidly changed," says David McDowall, CEO at Stonegate Group (pictured). "Going out remains a real priority, but guests are going out at different times and searching for engaging, entertaining venues, and new types of experiences.
"Rita’s Beerhall and Ballroom brings all of that together with a day-to-night experience like no other. It’s a place where everyone is welcome, and anything can happen."
Why Rita's?
The brand is named after the ever-popular margarita cocktail. Due to open pre-Christmas, Rita’s will offer all day dancing, live music, live sport and big event screenings. Guests will be seated around large beer hall tables, while a beer garden will provide outdoor space all year round.
