Spent a day here browsing books, listening to the vinyl for sale and later on the DJ mixing very funky grooves. The vibe is perfect, the coffee is badass; the jalapeño sarnie was an absolute treat and the sound system was bang on. A Hidden gem in leeds centre… Definitely on my recommend list!!
Fantastic little bar/coffee shop. We stopped for a coffee and was very impressed with the cozy atmosphere and the lovely cuppa. The lady behind the counter was very nice too.
This bar has the most amazing and welcoming staff. We accidentally walked in on a private party but they made us feel so welcome and found a space for us. They were friendly, kind and wanted our experience of their bar to be top draw- which it absolutely was. Happy birthday Holly! Everyone was lovely and we will absolutely coming back (hopefully we won’t crash any other parties though…) Thank you for a funny (but lovely) moment!
First time going, super friendly welcoming staff Really nice unique vibe and super cosy, only popped in for a pint today but me and friends will be back in the evenings for the vinyl / dj sets and to take a look at the second hand books on sale Definitely going to become a frequent spot Update: didn’t realise it was dog friendly! Went in with my dog, we were both looked after great
Super chill place to escape the madness of Leeds city centre! Really cool vibe, great choice of drinks. My friends loved browsing the books and records. We were here early before any live music but hope to come back next time we are out. Our new favourite bar :)
