Klubhaus by Bierkeller confirm Shipley bar's opening date

Klubhaus by the Bierkeller is coming to the former Rosse pub on Bingley Road.

Inside, the building is still undergoing a big transformation - with the addition of greenery, patterned tiles, maps, and rustic, colourful wood features on the walls.

Work is also continuing to take place on a new beer garden.

Klubhaus Saltaire will bring Bierkeller’s well-known rooms - The Bierkeller Hall, The Bierkeller Lodge, and Shooters Rack ‘n’ Roll games and sports bar - into one space.

Pubgoers will be able to ‘spin the wheel’ and try their luck at winning free onion rings, games or shots, and even discounted drinks.

We'll also be introducing some great offers including industry discount for hospitality staff, heroes discount for service workers and our much-loved spin-the-wheel.

"We're excited to create a fun and welcoming space with a warm, community feel that we hope locals from Saltaire and the surrounding areas will love."

He added: "We’ll be offering 10-plus draught beers at Klubhaus so there's really something for everyone.

We’ll also have Erdinger, ABK Hell and other classic German bottled beers to bring an authentic touch to the lineup.

"Klubhaus brings together the best of Bierkeller’s vibes, with each area offering something unique. Downstairs, our cozy bar has a lively, welcoming "bierhaus" buzz and we'll have regular live music at the weekends. We might even throw in the occasional oompah show - watch this space!

We're excited to launch our private rooms for karaoke and sports viewings - they'll be a first for us as we don't have these at The Bierkeller's other venues."
