Aire Bar — Restaurant in Leeds

I had such an amazing time at this fantastic hidden gem tucked away down the Calls, Aire Bar is a cozy little Leeds United-themed spot that’s perfect for a laid-back pint with a view. The inside has a proper local vibe—nothing too flashy, just walls full of LUFC pride, great tunes (genuinely didn't play a single bad song the whole time I was there!) , proper pool table, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit.

What really sets it apart is the outdoor seating area. I was fortunate enough to get use out of this, thanks to the blistering sun over the weekend. Overlooking the River Aire, it’s an ideal place to chill when the weather allows—peaceful, scenic, and a great escape from the city buzz. Whether you’re there to catch a match, enjoy a quiet drink, or just soak in the view, Aire Bar nails that balance of charm and character.

Friendly staff, all of whom handled a very busy post-match crowd with great proficiency, phenomenal drinks selection, and a unique location make this little bar well worth a visit. Especially if you're a Leeds fan—it’s got heart, history, and a hell of a riverside seat. I know I'll be back...

The worst bar manager ever. I was waiting at the bar and after 20 minutes was told to go to another bar. When I went to the other bar there was new customers (after me) that were served before be and when I was served I was told “there was a £100 round” which apparently takes priority over any one that waits in a queue like a normal person. Awful service. Rude staff. Do not recommend. I hope they look back at cctv and realise how stupid they have been. DO NOT DRINK HERE.

Response to owners comment - there is no confusion. I was asked to move to the other end of the bar where I would be served, only to once again be ignored and eventually greeted by a very rude and arrogant “manager” who told me it was a £100 round so I responded asking why that would get priority over a customer that had been waiting patiently for 25 minutes.

To clarify this is defiantly the Aire Bar on the calls, Leeds, next to the river and I would not recommend this bar to anyone. Very Rude and Ignorant staff, toilets are dirty and smell like urine. So once again DO...

This evening, me my boyfriend, auntie and uncle visited Aire Bar. At first we sat outside at around 3pm where the atmosphere was absolutely amazing, sun was shining and drinks were flowing. We ordered a bit of food just to nibble on and quite frankly, we couldn’t ask for any better. The staff were so attentive and always around. We usually only have one drink in a bar and move on but we ended up having around four or five until we moved inside about 7pm to play bingo. My auntie won £15 and I won £20. It was such a nice activity to do as it was a musical bingo so it was a lot of fun. Again, the bingo man was so helpful if we had missed anything. The staff behind the bar were lovely and always provided us with the best service. We will definitely be returning to...
