Description:
North Bar is one of Leeds’ original craft beer pioneers, pouring brilliant beer, cocktails and good times from its New Briggate home since 1997. Small, friendly and properly respected, it is the kind of bar that quietly helped shape the city’s drinking scene while still feeling like a cracking place for a casual pint.
Good for:
Craft beer, cask ales, cocktails, after-work drinks, beer lovers, relaxed catch-ups, date drinks, indie bar vibes and anyone who reads a tap list with the seriousness of a legal document.
Nearby:
Leeds Grand Theatre, City Varieties Music Hall, Belgrave Music Hall, Victoria Quarter, The Headrow, Merrion Street, First Direct Arena, Briggate.
Make a Day of It:
Start with a wander around Victoria Quarter or The Headrow, then head to North Bar for craft beer, cocktails and a proper New Briggate pause. If you are off to the Grand Theatre, Belgrave or the arena after, it is a strong pre-show shout. If not, just enjoy being in one of Leeds’ proper bar originals.
The Tidy Take:
North Bar is Leeds beer culture with real roots. It is small, iconic and still feels fresh without trying too hard. Great for beer fans, casual drinks and anyone who wants a bar with history, taste and absolutely no need for gimmicky nonsense.
