Came here a couple weeks ago as part of the Otley run, it was our favourite stop! But then we came again tonight and were having a great time until we were gradually shoved out the way on the dance floor by another group - whatever, it happens. After we moved out the way, I was continually pushed from behind until a lady around 5’8 with a short back and sides said “excuse me I own the place, stop leaning on me or you’ll be kicked out”. We were baffled as this was so far from the truth, she had spent the last ten minutes shoving us away. Ultimately, we moved as we decided it wasn’t worth it but this seems highly unprofessional from management to bully their own customers out the way on the dance floor.

Read moreI hadn't been in the Rack since 2006. After moving back to Leeds and living 3 miles away it is my normal port of call when I'm out!!

Parking is a premium though - the street has to do but there's a beer garden so you can keep an eye on your car if you're mad enough to drink and drive! There is a disabled toilet too so don't forget your key. Try the Rack I know you'll return, but be early on rugby or cricket days at Headingley, as it gets 4 deep...
