The Domino Club — Restaurant in Leeds

Sometimes you read a review and are left wondering”is this just a one off by someone who turned up at just the right time, on just the right night”. As frequent visitors to Leeds, my wife and I are often on the look out for somewhere different, and use the reviews as a pointer. That is how we chose to visit last night, and let me just say, what a fantastic night. Starting from the welcome at the door, by quite possibly the most polite doorman I have ever met, through the door (behind the barber’s shop) into an intimate and atmospheric room. Social distancing measures meant that the venue was less busy than you might expect, but that didn’t impede the atmosphere. The staff were amazingly welcoming and friendly. The musicians were fabulous. The drinks were amazing. We would recommend this venue to anyone. It was our first visit, but will definitely not be the last, despite the 120 mile journey to Leeds to get there. So relaxing. So enjoyable. Totally fantastic. If you are in any doubt about the reviews you read, then don’t doubt this one. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for an...

We ordered a bottle of wine for £24, and they brought a refilled wine bottle with a bottle stopper lid. It tasted revolting, me and my friend couldn’t drink it , it tasted off, when I asked why it wasn’t a proper bottle of wine the bar lady said they buy wine in bags and fill the wine bottles up with it so they can give more ‘premium wines’ for cheap. I know a cheap wine when I taste one, and I’ve never ever been to a bar or restaurant and given a refilled bottle of wine using a bag of wine. I asked for a different glass of wine as I couldn’t drink that and they brought one but it also tasted weird and off and I had a few sips and left it. We also got a cocktail which we couldn’t drink it tasted strongly of cloves which we had to send back and they swapped. The tap water was warm and tasted horrible as well. Having paid £8 on the door and around £32 on undrinkable drinks I won’t be going back. If someone buys a bottle of wine, they should get a new bottle of wine, not a bottle refilled from a...

This is probably the coolest bar in Leeds!

A bar where it is just cool, this is how I imagine a speak easy (only this one is non smoking), the staff are all great and attentive. The drinks menu is 11 pages long with a vast mix of spirits, cocktails and beers, there is also a good selection of non alcoholic drinks. This includes a free bottle of water for where you sit that is replenished.

The cocktails are well priced and mixed by highly skilled mixologists, if you are lucky enough as we were to sit at the bar you get to watch these people at work.

The music was simply fantastic, a solo guitarist playing songs known to most but with a twist, that put his own stamp on it. As he finished the next set of musicians arrived and set up, I wish we could have stayed to watch them.

I will say that there maybe a cost to get in, we payed £7 each, whilst this is not bad maybe £5 each would be acceptable to most (having been in though I would have payed 10).

This is honestly on my hitlist of places...
