Aire Bar in Leeds

Great bar in Leeds. In the vaults of old city warehouse. No draught ale but the keg was ok.

Lovely bar by the riverside, ideal to soak up the last of the years sunshine

Love this spot. Used to be my local when I lived just across the river, visited again recently and not much has changed. Great pub.

Our favourite bar in Leeds. Lovely view over the river and a lovely comfortable bar area. Staff service always brilliant.

Nice pub shows sports and serves pub food

Only been there for daytime drinks but I really like it and have returned.

Went for the first time yesterday from the moment I walked in the place had such a good atmosphere the staff were superb the drinks were cheaper than I expected. I will certainly return

My favourite hidden gem in leeds. Lovely staff, great atmosphere. Lovely terrace x

Amazing selection of beers and great place to watch football! Nice outside area too overlooking river

Had a fab two nights in this bar. Owner couldn’t be more accommodating, bar staff were lovely and so friendly. Food was lush. I’ll be back next time I’m in leeds.

Update from our 2022, now 2024 and just as friendly. Make this a stop off especially if you want to catch some TV sport...on route or if the sun is shining, have a beer on the veranda at the side of the river.

The worst pints ever. They clearly don’t clean their lines. My cider had a coffee aftertaste. We drank a few sips and left.

Sunshine or rain, if you are out and about in Leeds, Aire bar is the place to be!! Years and years of great food and excellent service. Whether you're looking to grab a pint, have a burger and watch a game, or simply stop for breakfast as we did today, Aire bar will never disappoint. Today was a lovely sunny day in Leeds and my husband and I treated ourselves to a mighty brunch with river view. We love the food, always with vegetarian option and lovely drinks! But what makes this place a winner is the friendly vibe!!

We spent an afternoon here watching the football. What a fabulous atmosphere. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. I booked a table online and the owner was very helpful and responsive. Lovely terrace overlooking the river. We will definitely be back next time we visit Leeds. Thank you 😁

Wonderful service from Colin and his team yesterday for the Leeds match (shame about the result!). I’d reserved a table which made the afternoon more enjoyable, we had burgers and chips before the kick off, nice food. Beer prices competitive for Leeds centre. Great vibe, nice people and overall a great bar with a lovely waterside view. Thank you 🙏🏻

One of my favourite places to go in Leeds, staff are awesome here!

Still got the app drinks service activated since lockdown taking your money but not recognised in the bar and their burgers are like boiled burgers out of a tin definitely not proper beef burgers. Apart from that a great place for atmosphere and next to the river.

Great place, staff are so friendly and the breakfast was lovely, definitely go again.

Best bar in Leeds. Great prices and great bar staff

Superb service, best bar in Leeds

It's a great bar, especially when the sun is shining and you're sitting out the back overlooking the river with a pint.

Toilets on the right at the bottom of the steps. A long double bar. Sports TV. A wonderful balcony to enjoy the river Aire.

A proper one-off bar located in a series of vaulted cellars alongside the River Aire. Don't be put off by the entrance and the stairs, be confident you won't be disappointed.

Great selection of beers and well run bar. Great for watching sports and have a small bite to eat.

Dropped in on a Friday night for a few drinks to watch the football. Atmosphere was lively and screens a plenty. Good range of beers on tap which is ideal. Was nice to have Weiss beer on tap too which was an added treat.

one of my favourite bars in leeds !! came on a busy Saturday night and service was exceptional, especially from the manager, lovely atmosphere and very christmassy (it’s December btw) x

Spend few hours in there,watching football,plenty of Leeds fans there,friendly atmosphere,service was excellent,decent pint of Guinness

Great bar, one of our favourite bars in leeds always come here whenever we come to leeds, hopefully you will start doing food again soon.! great place for drinks and sports

Always a popular place with its position next to the river. The terrace is fairly small so outdoor seating on a nice day is hard to come by. One for gin drinkers, there's a impressive selection of different gins on offer besides a selection of beer and ales.

Good offers. Have footy on, nice food and 1919 lager.

One of the most chill places for a drink in Leeds. Great views over the Aire river. Great prices as well. But the thing that bothers me is the loud music.

Quiet enough to chat, definitely a bonus!

Brilliant place with friendly staff 🤗

Went in for food but kitchen was not open heard good things about food was looking forward to it.Good selection of drinks outside seating

Great looking bar with great prices on really nice food and drink. with nice views looking out onto the canal.

Great food friendly service good value

Aire bar was absolutely fantastic! Cannot fault them. I rented a space out at the bar to host a party, of around 35 people, and the staff were soooo helpful. They helped me put up decorations and just were constantly checking on everything and that it was ok. The space was fab too, lovely view of the river with a terrace and lovely inside. I love this bar anyway but it was even better to host an event. Thank you thank you soooo much to the staff that were on shift on Saturday night :):)

Fantastic place for a pint by the river.

Large open spaced bar. Serving large selection of drinks. Spirt is usually shoeing on the tvs. Great views overlooking the River Aire. Toilets need updating, they are abit grim

What an awesome bar!! Vast range of beers / lagers and a really friendly landlord. Cracking location, too, and popular on Leeds FC match days . Amazing outdoor area on the river, too, and south facing!

What a hidden gem this bar is. We visited Leeds for the weekend and came across this place. Friendly bar staff and what a amazing breakfast. The manager (sorry we didn't get your name) was friendly and each time we went in came over chatting to us. Would highly recommend a visit if you are ever in leeds

Drinks⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibe⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great bar - the artwork is fantastic - well done Mr Knapper - fun place to be

Great bar to watch sports, with a great selection of beers

Nice booked area for works Xmas do 👍💛🤍💙

Great place for watching football

Cheap pool table that’s pretty much been free every time I’ve gone. That’s what I wanted. That’s what I got.

Nice pub on the canal, large sitting area and friendly staff

Great little place came across it whilst hunting on a Sunday for food and beer after attending a local event. Found it to have a great atmosphere with a football theme going on and the burgers filled our empty stomachs would definitely recommend a visit to the Aire bar.

Fantastic service. Always a great night. Colin is the best bar man ever, jokes are like there’s a professional comedian has just entered the room

Come here every week for the quiz and the amazing service. Love you aire bar you’re the best Xxxx

The manager here is the best !!!! X

Colin and Charlie are the most amazing hosts. This bar as always been a favourite of ours but it's just getting better. The balcony is obviously the best spot in Leeds but the welcome is even better.

Cracking sports bar, a decent craft lager on tap would make it 5*

Nice vibe n good to sit outside at the side of the river. Big screens for anyone who likes to watch the footy.

What a quality bar to watch sports! Nice venue, great atmosphere. Good choice of beverages. Friendly staff. Looking forward to having a drink riverside this summer there!

Sports bar with great atmosphere when big games are on. Food and drinks are fairly priced. Quality outdoors area looking out onto the River which catches the sun.

Very lively and friendly staff. atmosphere is great. Go there everytime to watch any sporting event on TV

Friendly place for a drink. When the weather is good it is nice to sit outside and chill. Great banter with friends old and new

A good friend of mine visited and both of us had a pint of hand pull bitter. The beer was okay but mine was underfilled i.e. nearly an inch+ of head. Before I could query this, the barman was serving another customer. My friend and I are in our early 60's and felt old as the demographic was clearly early 20's. A table of lads across from us managed to spill a pint of Guinness on their table. 5 minutes later another member of their party dropped a full pint of lager on the floor. A member of staff came to mop up and pickup the glass quickly. It was mid afternoon and we finished our pints then left. Unlikely to return as not a place for good conversation.

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 the Aire bar!!

Amazing little hidden gem on the way down to the river. Nice outside seating next to the river to watch the world. Food was lovely and cheap. Would be nice to go back for a quiz night or just drinks

Went to watch the footy here and wasn't disappointed. Great barman who kept us watered and entertained all night. Nice gaff.

Nice place to watch sports and chill with a pint or 10

Always decent place for sports and bar food

Always a lovely experience in Aire bar. Really great staff, food and obviously booze. Can’t recommend it enough.

Very cool, chilled out and laid back place. Loved it

The Manager Colin is awesome he needs to get that doctor back part time

Not been in for ages since they changed their menu. Food is very good value for money - however it is pretty basic pub grub that’s served fast food style in baskets and greaseproof paper now. Having said that, it was cooked perfectly and didn’t take long to arrive. Staff have always been friendly here, decent enough prices and selection for this part of town too.

As always, great bar, welcoming friendly staff. Always clean and tidy, and treated as friends after only a few visits. Staff above and beyond evey time.

I booked our team Christmas party here at relatively short notice. The team were keen to meet our requests and communication was good. We had a hot buffet which was served on time and included a good variety of food. We arranged a tab for drinks and staff were happy to keep us up to date with our budget. Friendly staff, good music, tasty food and an excellent selection of drinks made for a great evening. With our own private area including outside access, Christmas crackers on the table and even some live music later on, we all agreed booking our party here was a great choice. Thanks Aire Bar! We will be sure to visit again!

Stopped off here with a group of friends on a late Saturday afternoon for a couple of drinks it wasn't too busy and the music wasn't too loud and our group of 10 fitted in with no problem 👍

Quality bar,looking onto the river aire

Went for a few pints on a Saturday afternoon while the football was on. Nice vibes. I like the venue. The service was good and plenty of places to sit.

Found this bar by pure chance and was very impressed. Clean, smart looking bar area, fantastic south facing sun terrace overlooking the canal and friendly bar staff made this a great few hours drinking. Also, very good for sports if that’s your thing.

Chilled out with a game of pool with plenty of gins and whisky for all. Bar staff are humourous with chilled Yorkshire attitude.

5 stars for bar and service experience but 1 star for the very very salty burgers which they continued to sell the batch after they already had complaints (waitress told me i wasn't their first complaint)

Nice bar. Looking at over £5 a pint though.

Gorgeous spot to enjoy a drink overlooking amazing views of the river. Best of all though, we couldn’t have been more looked after by the staff and felt so at home. Massive thanks especially to Colin for helping me with the stairs in my wheelchair, getting us an accessible table and making me feel so at ease for the whole stay. You’re an absolute gem Colin and your kindness made the visit! Thank you so much to you and your whole team, see you soon.

Paninis were lovely and great price. Staff really friendly too.

Nice place to stop for a drink. We sat outside by the river and had a very relaxing time.

Great bar! Always a good atmosphere, decent crowd and they do a lovely breakfast. If you want a drink by the river also then this is the place, good outside seated area which catches the sun in the morning👍 July 2021 update, still awesome 👌

Brilliant venue, manager is ace, staff are excellent. Rea6make you feel welcome. Sports venue fir Leeds.

Very smart bar well worth a visit a medium choice of beers and lagers very friendly staff

Great to have it open again and without the need to make a reservation, had a lovely Riverside drink in the sunshine

Really busy, took ages to get a drink. But great outside location.

Like the title Collin is fab just like the Caterpillar. Excellent service told my friend he has no friends. 10/10 service Defos recommend. Big shoutout to Collin for making it a good one drink on our bar crawl

Nice bar for a few beers especially in the summer.

My husband and I we have been tonight for food and drinks to our fav pub in Leeds city centre. As always great service, cordiality, and also fantastic preparation for the hospitality following all the procedure and gov rules. We had some vegetarian and vegan burgers and chips. We tried for first time jackfruit and everything was absolutely delicious!!!! Definitely we reccomend 100% this pub to everyone! Vegetarian friendly, vegan friendly, lovely drink, food and amazing service.

Beer tasted a bit rough, think they need to clean their pipes

Not impressed. I am exempt from wearing a mask, but the member of staff who I spoke to on the door did not show any understanding, and broke the law by asking for a reason (which I consider between me and my GP) - despite me giving them many years of business prior to this. I won't be going back.

Had a great night watching the football. Booked everything online so was easy when I got there just shown to my table and we were served well throughout the night.

A great place for a pint or two with an excellent outside terrace if the weather allows it! Currently no draught ales are available, so ale connoisseurs should beware!

Had a fab tme here Colin was a star will most definetly go again when we visit Leeds.😅

We came here tonight for a birthday, Collin and the whole team were absolutely wonderful I will definitely be back! Food was amazing service was amazing. Aire bar is top notch

Enjoyed my visit on a Wednesday night for the eat out scheme. Burger was brilliant and good size portion. Cajun fries too and sharing nachos. Good service. Not many ales on rotation but the bar manager explained but due in later as closed Monday/Tuesday. Hophouse and 1919 lager nice.

Drinks tasted off... Probably old kegs or not cleaned the lines out since lock down was over. Went to pay for our drinks and they wouldn't accept paper 20 pound notes even though they are still in use (check bank of England website) and have not been withdrawn. Polite staff but a pain in the arse.

The single worst experience visiting this bar, if you can even call this place a bar, the bar and exterior is kept as a pool of filth. Although if you like a terrible atmosphere, tasteless food and overpriced drinks then this is the place for you.

Great spot for Sunday footy viewing 🤘
