The Brewery Tap — Restaurant in Leeds

We were lucky to have our 25th wedding anniversary party hosted by Rob and his team at Leeds Brewery Tap. From our first exploratory contact Rob was very responsive and informative. We went for a look around, the room was perfect, but above that was Rob's friendly, not pushy manner, we felt reassured that we would be able to hold a smallish party with sole use of the upstairs bar and outdoor terrace. We made the booking and was in touch with Rob by email. In fact it was doubly reassuring that he contacted us the week before just check final details with us, which was much appreciated. He made suggestions to help us make decisions about food and music. On the day itself both Rob, Hayley and the rest of the team were very helpful, there was nothing that seemed to be too much trouble. The whole event went really, with our guests and us having a super time. A huge thank to everyone we came in contact with. We would highly recommend calling in for a drink, or if you want to host a party, the venue is perfect for...

They have a lovely selection of beers, mostly craft. The food was nice enough although the burgers looked a bit lackluster and could do with a bit more love. The prices are okay but do not expect it to be cheap. The overall flair was clean and modern, although it felt a bit too modern for our taste. A negative was that we booked a table with them for dinner and they didn't even have the reservation on the system. There was enough room so it wasn't a problem but since it's in a busy area, that should get sorted out ASAP. Also they should state that there is no service at the table. If I have to write down the food order for 3 or more people and keep getting my own drinks while the two lads at the bar have enough time to chat up female customers then something is wrong.

Overall it was a good experience but there are quite a few things that a decent manager could improve easily...

Called in to meet up with friends for an hour on an evening out in leeds. This bar is situated almost right outside the train station and is an ideal location for commuters to meet up . The bar area was busy with lots of customers heading into leeds or back to the train station . The bar itself offered a wide range of real ales , cask beers and largers , with lots of spirits available at a fair price for its location, the bar staff were friendly, polite and servis was quick . The customers were a mixed bunch some in high spirits after a good day out . The bar area had a good atmosphere and is an ideal place to start an evening out . Didn't try food but a plate full that passed me looked very nice. Will call again , well...
