STUDENT TIPS: BARS & PUBS
There’s so much going on that it’d be impossible to pin it all down. This list of Leeds bars and pubs is pretty exhaustive, and has addresses and phone numbers. You’ll want to find your own homes-from-home… but here are some great places to start!
In the city centre
The Dry Dock is a big ‘boat’ in the middle of a traffic island, right by the College, beloved of students! In summer, it opens its top deck so you can sit outside.
The Library is student pub—it’s very close to several colleges, including ours (and if your mobile rings, you can quite truthfully say you can’t talk: you’re ‘in the Library’!)
Norman Bar is delightfully quirky and gets away with mixing antiques with the very contemporary. The food takes its inspiration from Asia; the DJs from funk.
North Bar is a dinky little place—their art exhibitions change every 6 weeks, and they even invite you to show yours!
Sela Bar is in a city-centre basement (‘cellar’, geddit?): don’t miss the tucked-away entrance! Tiny, with a great atmosphere—especially when there’s live music.
The Wardrobe is a standard city-centre favourite: grown-up, but cool. Leeds girl Corinne Bailey Ray played there before she made it huge—and still does. Good food, lots of space, lots of pre-theatre deals (the West Yorkshire Playhouse is close by).
I also used my own experience of bars in the Leeds area. I chose to use bars rather than clubs as you rarely sit down and take note of beer mats in clubs. I also chose to use student orientated bars as this is the cliental my beermats are aimed at. I will also be mailing my beermats to the three biggest student accommodations my peers live in.
