It's all part of transforming the space previously Kino into the newly re-named HAR bar, an intimate venue in the cultural heart of Leeds with fresh coffee, quality cocktails and local beers including from Kirkstall Brewery — and now, award-winning East Asian-inspired street food!

With big, bright flavours taking inspiration from Japanese, Thai, Korean, and Chinese cuisine, we are loving what Yuzu is already bringing to our unique, Grade II-listed space.

Come and see us!
