Description:
Water Lane Boathouse is a contemporary waterside pub at Lock Number One on Canal Wharf, set inside a building that started life in the early 1800s as part of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. From the team behind Belgrave Music Hall and Headrow House, it serves pizza, drinks, brunch, Sunday roasts and canal-side good times in one of Leeds’ best outdoor spots.

Make a Day of It:
Start with a walk along the canal or a wander through Granary Wharf, then settle in at Water Lane Boathouse for pizza, drinks and a spot by the water. If the sun is out, it is dangerously easy to lose an afternoon here. Add Leeds Dock or The Calls afterwards if you are pretending there is still a plan.

​

The Tidy Take:
Water Lane Boathouse is Leeds doing relaxed waterside drinking properly. Historic building, canal views, pizza, pints and plenty of outdoor space. It is one of those places where “just one” turns into watching the light change over the water and ordering another round.
