Festival Weekend = Big Energy in the City this May Bank Holiday

Looking for the perfect spot to spend the May Bank Holiday weekend in Leeds? Whether you’re hitting up Live at Leeds, heading to Slam Dunk Festival, or just making the most of the long weekend, Verve on Merrion Street has everything you need for a brilliant Bank Holiday session.

Leeds is set to come alive this May Bank Holiday with two of the city’s biggest music events taking over – Live at Leeds and Slam Dunk Festival. And where better to keep the good times going than at one of the best-loved bars on Merrion Street?

At Verve, we’re all about great drinks, good vibes, and a buzzing atmosphere – just what you need when the city’s full of live music lovers. Take a look at the full menu.

Offers at Verve:

Whether you’re pre-gigging, post-festival, or skipping the music and just up for a good time, we’ve got a few reasons to drop by:

• Free nachos with every round before 9pm – yes, really

• 2 cocktails for £14 – sip on Frozen Pornstars in the warm weather

• A free shot if you’re wearing an official festival wristband – show us the band and we’ll do the rest!

• We are open until 6am! Festival after party vibes into the early hours

It’s all part of our “Battle of the Bar” weekend – a friendly nod to the fun we’re having alongside our sister bar Mean-Eyed Cat, just next door.
