Description:
Sela Bar is a basement bar and pizzeria on New Briggate, serving global beers, cocktails, pizza, live music, comedy and proper Leeds after-dark character. Open since 2004, it has that independent, slightly hidden-away feel, the kind of place where you head down for one drink and come back up hours later with a new favourite band, a pizza craving and no real explanation.
Good for:
Craft beer, cocktails, pizza, live music, comedy nights, date drinks, group catch-ups, late nights, independent bar vibes and anyone who thinks basement bars always have a little more mischief in them.
Nearby:
New Briggate, Leeds Grand Theatre, The Grand Arcade, Belgrave Music Hall, Headrow House, First Direct Arena, The Merrion Centre, Briggate, Victoria Quarter.
Make a Day of It:
Start with a show at Leeds Grand Theatre, a gig nearby or a wander around Victoria Quarter and Briggate, then head to Sela for pizza, beers and cocktails. If there is live music or comedy on, even better. It is one of those Leeds spots that works as a casual drink, a date-night curveball or the start of a properly interesting night.
The Tidy Take:
Sela is a proper Leeds basement gem, independent, low-lit, musical and full of character. Great for beer lovers, pizza people, comedy nights and anyone who wants a bar that feels like it has stories in the walls rather than a brand manual behind the bar.
