Rita’s Beer Hall and Ballroom brings a tequila-fuelled twist to the traditional beer hall format. Set on Woodhouse Lane between the city centre and the university, this large-format venue fills its space with live music every night, leopard-print pool tables, and slushie machines churning out frozen margaritas at six pounds a pop.

Take a look around
The Food
Pizza is the sole focus here, and they do it well. Fresh dough is made from scratch daily, hand-stretched to order, and topped with Cirio tomato sauce. The headline act is the 24-inch XXL sharing pizza — enough for four — available in half-and-half combinations. Individual XL slices cater to solo grazers, while the Marg and Marg deal pairs a margarita cocktail with a margherita slice for nine pounds. Stuffed Crust Dippers make a moreish side. Vegan and gluten-free bases are available.

The Drink
Margaritas are the signature, built on Casamigos Blanco tequila in four variants: Classic, Spicy, Fruity, and Lager. The frozen slushie versions are a particular draw at six pounds all day. Draught lines run deep with nine permanent taps including Camden Hells, Beavertown Neck Oil, Guinness, and rotating craft options. The non-alcoholic range is strong with six-plus options including Guinness 0.0 and Beavertown Lazer Crush.
The Place
The former Walkabout site has been thoroughly reinvented. Leopard-print pool tables are the visual signature, set against black-and-white checkered flooring and retro-patterned wallpaper. Bold red and orange branding runs throughout the large multi-zone space. Beer pong tables, free darts, and big screens for live sport round out the entertainment. Dancing on tables is actively encouraged.
