Description:
Nation of Shopkeepers is a lively Leeds pub and bar on Cookridge Street, serving food, craft beers, cocktails, pub quizzes, live music and big social energy in a roomy city-centre space with an impressive beer garden. It is relaxed by day, buzzing by night and very good at turning “just meeting for one” into a full group debrief with fries.

​

Good for:
Craft beer, cocktails, pub food, live music, pub quizzes, beer garden drinks, group catch-ups, casual lunches, student nights and anyone who likes their bar with neon, disco balls and a bit of indie personality.

​

Nearby:
Leeds City Museum, Millennium Square, Leeds Art Gallery, Leeds Town Hall, The Light, First Direct Arena, Leeds Grand Theatre, Merrion Street.

​

Make a Day of It:
Start with a wander around Leeds Art Gallery, The Light or Millennium Square, then head to Nation of Shopkeepers for food, drinks or a sunny beer garden session. If there is live music or a quiz on, settle in and let the plan quietly become the whole evening. Very Leeds. Very predictable. Very enjoyable.

​

The Tidy Take:
Nation of Shopkeepers is one of those Leeds venues that has a bit of everything without feeling like it is trying too hard. Food, drinks, music, quizzes, a proper beer garden and a central location that makes it useful for almost any plan. A solid shout for mates, dates, lunches, nights out and anyone allergic to boring beige bars.
