The New Conservatory is a cute basement cafe bar serving food and entertainment by the shed load. During the day and through to the evening this place is nice to come and relax have a drink or grab something to eat. Inside are walls and walls of books that you can pick up and read at your leisure, or you can also play pool or listen to a live band during the evening and through to the night. This cafe bar is full of character history and personality and I believe it could be the next hot spot in Leeds. I think it just lacks a strong brand identity and knowledge of its whereabouts. Designing a menu and working with the brand identity could help put it on the map. Giving the menu more personality that reflects that of the building itself I think is much needed. Also food incentives like specials and steak thursdays for example could help to bring more people there.
