Bar pub in Leeds

“Really loved it here! Cocktails were lovely, atmosphere on a Saturday was nice and the service was really friendly. Can't wait to return”

“Fab restaurant- a really lovely evening made by the excellent service we received. Food fresh and great quality, prices reasonable. Lots of choice on the menu”

“Visited today for my birthday lunch, food was delicious (cooked by Boris) and our server Catherine was super friendly polite and chatty :) x”

“Nice Decent Place for Food + a Great Variety of Drinks. Been going here for sometime now for drinks or dining and always enjoy our visit. Last two visits I've noticed that the service was not up to the level which it was before for example staff taking time your order or not getting around you regularly to check up if anything needed also even after paying the bill I noticed that table was not cleared for sometime. Don't know if it was because of the less staff or just in general. The venue wasn't busy either. One thing for sure was that food was once again top notch. I'd definitely keep going here and recommend others to try this gem of a place on street lane.”

“The recent renovation and the new management—from a renowned ex-restaurant in Leeds City Centre—have elevated the dining experience. The dim sum offers an authentic Hong Kong taste at an affordable price. Service was friendly, and the venue was notably clean and quiet. With a small car park and a nearby bus stop, the location is convenient. Highly recommended for a repeat visit.”

“Been in a few times recently and always found the staff to be pleasant, the beer to be good and fairly priced (better on happy hour obviously) I can't comment on the food personally as I have not eaten, but have seen a few dishes go out and they look good. Atmosphere only 4 stars because it was rather quiet when I went in but imagine it would be great if there were a few more people in. (I tend to go out during the quieter part of the day anyway)”

“Loved it! We did not have a reservation, but luckily there was a table for us (8 pm Friday night). The service was good and they were very quick. The portions were very good and the food was lovely for a great price. We went with the dinner menu which is a very good deal. Would recommend!”

“We had a lovely experience when we all came out for a new year’s meal as a family. The food was lovely and Joe was wonderful, he checked in with us regularly, was polite and attentive. You have a great member of staff there. A fab experience, we will definitely return.”

“Wow..... Food is incredible and amazing service. My steak was so good, cooked to medium and the hake was so well presented. The wine was beautiful but the port was served at the perfect temperature, along with the cheese!”

“Delicious starters and mains, with a wide variety of drinks. Had a range of Small Plates, including halloumi sticks and garlic and chilli king prawns, plus a range of mains, including the fish and chips. The food was so nice, I forgot to get photos of the main dishes we ate.”

“Came for breakfast for first time and will defo be our regular place from now on, lovely comforting atmosphere, great value for money, staff bent over backwards for you, the breakfast was really tasty.”

“Pleasantly surprised by the Sunday lunch. Good value for money and a lovely atmosphere Be warned they do not allow you to give a tip on a credit card.”

“What a fantastic pub hidden away but definitely worth finding a true gem, allegedly the oldest pub in Leeds”

“Newish bar very reasonable prices and great background music . still a cracking little bar”

“Best pub in the area. A proper traditional old school pub. Excellent prices and good beer. The staff are amazing and welcoming.”

“A fantastic pub which I've been drinking in for decades. Great selection of beer and the food is fantastic. A very well run pub. Top marks.”

“I had so much fun at old bar, Lovely Jasmin was so sweet and helped me understand the gluten free options. The food was lovely, and I would recommend !!”

“Only second time in this establishment, enjoyed it , was with my son, had my favourite lager kronenberg, and my son's favourite, dark fruit, we went in the evening, don't know if they do food, but would recommend this place, just for beer alone.”

“Did a paint and sip tonight. thank you to the staff; Megan, Liv, Etto, kodi, Tom and Alfie for all the service. The food and drinks were 10/10. Great atmosphere and a lovely night overall thank you”

“Been a local here for the past couple of months new owners absolutely fantastic, great atmosphere. Was a local before the new ownership and they have continued to set the bar high. Very welcoming towards new customers and regulars. highly recommend coming here if you fancy a quite drink or a drink to socialise, they have a good energy and are very polite and respectful towards anyone who walks through the door so yeah in a nutshell it’s a great pub and a great community.”

“Visited This Place on a Friday Evening. It was recommended to me by a friend of mine who I was visiting in Roundhay Area of Leeds. A Small Little Place & Could See That The Staff Really Made an Effort For Their Customers While Serving Not Just For Us. Prices are VERY Reasonable at least for Me Since I'm Used to of Paying Silly Money Driving Up & Down The Country. I'm in Business Myself & Would Say That We Should Take Care of Local Small Businesses First in Our Communities & Use Them as Our First Choice Then Going To These Big National Chain Bars/Pubs. I Was Glad to Help This Little Place Through Me & My Friend. I Would Recommend This Place to Everyone 100%. Thanks”

“Great little bag, reminds me of my visit in Ghent! Popped in for the Belgium beers, Sam and James gave me and my friends some great recommendations on some beers we haven’t tried! Great customer service - all the staff are very helpful and chatty! My favourite was the Rochefort 10! Lovely warm and cosy atmosphere with great bar snacks! Will be back and eager to try the other head of steam venues!”

“When i have a chance i always stop here: food is always really good and the menu changes seasonally. Of course has to be visited because it s the oldest pub in leeds and you'll notice that as soon as you walk in. Very very curios!”

“I visited the Head of Steam on Park Row in Leeds with my daughter for a few drinks, and we were absolutely blown away by the service we received – especially from Greg. From the moment we arrived, he couldn’t do enough to make sure we had the best possible experience. Greg was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He gave us loads of great advice on the beers available, helping us choose drinks that suited our tastes perfectly. His passion for what he does really shines through, and it made our visit extra special. It’s not often you come across someone who goes so far above and beyond in customer service – Greg is a fantastic asset to the pub. Because of him, we’ll definitely be back again soon! Thank you, Greg, for making our visit such a memorable one!”

“Visited yesterday with my young son. Our food was great, incredibly fast service even though it was busy, the staff were friendly and the toilets are immaculate. Best Wetherspoons I've been in I reckon. We even stayed for pudding.... which was lovely too.”

“VOX bar on wood Street is really cool. Nice interior. The staff and customers are friendly. The selection of beers and rum is amazing.”

“I really enjoy coming to this cafe, especially the warm and welcoming hospitality from Ibti. Since we are able to dine in now, she has been really helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend coming here, the atmosphere is really welcoming.”

“First time visit for a colleagues retirement do. Plenty of parking, really nice interior and staff super friendly. Very busy on a Thursday evening which is always a good sign, had entertainment later on as well.”

“A lovely and vibrant place to have fun, wind down and meet people where everyone, regardless of sexuality, race, culture etc are safe and welcome with zero tolerance for discrimination. It was like a home to me for much of last year and I strongly recommend for anyone (except bigots and troublemakers obviously) to visit and hang out in”

“Great place for a few drinks & food. Felt a little bit cold inside for this time of year. Food good always hot plenty of variety. Great customer service from Stacey, a very polite and friendly member of staff who couldn't do enough for us. Location Great just 5 min walk from the leeds arena.”
