Thanks to a stunning new LED lighting scheme, super-comfortable furniture, and stylish décor, the Balcony Bar now offers a luxurious yet calming ambience that has been a hit with all who visit.
New Menu Highlights
As part of the transformation, we’ve added more dining tables and chairs, allowing us to expand our food offering - and we’ve listened to your feedback!
Now serving:
Crispy Chips
Halloumi Fries
Pancake Stack with syrup and fresh fruit
And the star of the show: Hand-crafted Sausage Rolls and Pasties from The Yorkshire Baker.
Founded in 2008 by Gill, Yorkshire Baker has become renowned for its premium pastry products, crafted using the finest ingredients. Her sausage rolls, pies, and pasties are loved across North Yorkshire — and now you can enjoy them right here at the Balcony Bar!

Exercise of the Month: Wide Grip Cable Pulley Row
Looking to build a stronger, wider back? Give the wide grip cable row a try! This powerful move uses a cable machine with a wide-grip attachment to target your upper back muscles – including the trapezius, rhomboids, and rear deltoids – while also engaging your lats and core.
This variation is great for developing back width and working towards that V-tapered physique many strive for. You can perform it on the pulley machine or other cable machines in the gym.
If you’d like to give it a go, just ask one of our team members – we’ll be happy to guide you through it!

Set it to 30 floors.

On 23rd August, she will set off on the 398 km (247 miles) journey, aiming to complete it in just four days.
Every penny raised will go directly towards purchasing essentials such as school supplies, clothing, hygiene products, toys, and other necessities – which Orshy will personally deliver during future charity trips.
