We had a fabulous time in Farrands - Lizzie, our server, was attentive and lovely throughout. Our drinks were delicious and the vibes were calm and sophisticated. A fantastic night :)

I just arrived into the city in my car to meet friends for a drink at 8pm. I meet the door man out side who asks me if its just me, I say no 2 more are coming, he says I'll ask the staff if there's space, I open the door and slowly walk in turning to him to say its ok I'll ask your staff your watching the door. I hold the door open as he walks in behind me. Then the Grabs me, forcibly pushes me out the door and says i can't do that and I'm not welcome. For trying to be polite so he can remain at the door. Totally out of order.

Farrands is a fantastic cocktail bar, every cocktail I have had from there has been lovely. The new menu with modern takes on classic cocktails is really unique and interesting. Their take on a tequila sunrise was really nice. What makes the bar particularly fantastic is the staff, who are always welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend!

My friend and I went to Farrands after having a meal at Viva just around the corner. I love the fact that you can book a table for drinks here which you can’t always do at some bars in Leeds if you are not dining. The drinks are average prices for Leeds and there’s a great choice. I love sitting in the top part of the bar which is fabulous in the summer. I don’t know her name but the lovely girl with the curly hair is just the absolute best! Friendly, attentive and just the best all round. She is a credit to the place. Highly recommend.

A quick walk-in whilst passing and very pleasantly surprised. A cool bar, with a great relaxed atmosphere. Lovely relaxed background tunes .. great vibe! Great selection on the cocktail list, and able to order off menu. The Vesper martini was one of the nicest I’ve had in a long time. Very attentive service. A hidden gem! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A lovely solo evening here. Had two beautiful drinks- the Cuban Sitch and a classic Daquiri; both of which were delicious and well textured. Complementary crisps upon arrival were absolutely great and the whole atmosphere and vibe of the bar is brilliant. Also great music playing- especially loved the Prince! Highly recommend, and will be coming back!

Tucked away in a previously unknown to me part of Leeds this bar offers, a place of calm and chill that most of Leeds can’t. From the charcuterie to the drinks there wasn’t a flaw. The cocktails are beautiful visually and taste fantastic. Our server Fran, was attentive and hilarious. Farrands has filled a hole in the Leeds nightlife that I didn’t know was there.

Looking for some where to have a drink at Pride. We were introduced to the seating at the back. The roof was open and there was a lovely cool breeze. As we sat down we were given crisps and a jug of water. Love being looked after like that. We each had a cocktail. Also tried the mini cocktail which was just right. Had the cheese board. Good portion and requested some more of the warm bread. Very friendly staff. Would go again.

My husband and I called for drinks on our way out for a meal. We were greeted by the most attentive and smiling waiter unfortunately we didn’t get their name but it was a pleasure to have such excellent customer service. The 3 choices of wine in the wine flight were very good. Overall we were only there for a short time but what a lovely little place we will definitely be back. One very small gripe would be the music was just a tad too high, the place wasn’t full and it could have done with being just a notch lower.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff, a brilliant outside seating area with a retractable roof for the summer months. It’s a small intimate venue with table service drinks and small nibbles available. We didn’t try the food but it looked nice on the other tables. Beer selection is small but it has an extensive cocktail menu and some lovely wines on offer.

Farrands is a go-to for my boyfriend and I for a date night with a fantastic atmosphere, unique cocktails that never miss, and a very reasonably priced cheeseboard. The service has always been amazing but last weekend in particular we were looked after by Ana (hope I got her name right!) who went above and beyond, so shoutout to her! I'm very pleased at the addition of orange wine to the menu since my last visit and would love to see the selection expanded. Farrands remains high on our list of favourite spots and we can't wait to return any chance we get.

Farrands is tucked away on a quite quiet street in town, so we had walked past a lot and never tried it out after living nearby for almost a year. It won us over and is now one of my favourites ! Staff are excellent, really friendly and knowledgeable. Mel always makes it a nice experience for us. Complementary crisps make it feel a bit posh, cocktail list is good, drinks are strong, and they’ll make anything you ask for ! It’s small so it has an exclusive feel, and the playlist is absolutely great it’s perfect vibes for a few cocktails on a weekend, not rowdy or noisy. 🍸🖤

Possibly the best bar in Leeds! I went to Farrands for some drinks last week and had a great time. The service was absolutely top notch - the staff were all so friendly and attentive. The menu has an excellent variety of signature cocktails - I tried the Carmel and the Funk and both blew me away, along with possibly the best Old Fashioned I’ve ever tried. The free crisps were a bonus too! I’ll definitely be returning to Farrands next time I’m back in Leeds.

A really wonderful experience, a must if you are a bit of a 'cocktail connoisseur'. Thanks Farrands, see you soon!

Nice place with good cocktails. Only let down by some of the punters, who looked like they should be drinking cheap beer in a 'spoons somewhere (why don't people make the effort when they go out to a nice place?!?). The staff were very professional, friendly, and competent - they really make the place I think, and are the main reason we'll be going back

We popped in for a night cap on the way back to our Hotel. The doorman informed us the bar would be closing in 25mins. Even though closing time was close, we were made to feel very welcome. The cocktails were very well made. Unfortunately my wife chose something that wasn’t to her taste (our fault). Unprompted the bar manager noticed this and immediately offered to swap the cocktail for something else, without charging us for our mistake. The replacement cocktail was great as was my choice. So refreshing to receive such great service, particularly given how tough times are for the hospitality industry. Farrands deserves, a loyal following for such outstanding service and high quality drinks.

We had a Company event in Leeds and arranged for all who attended to join us for drinks at Farrands Bar; we had the bar just for us for 2 hours, which was great. The staff were also great, really pleasant and helpful. They checked that the bar bill was acceptable on several occasions (we had a 'free' bar arrangement for our guests) which was really appreciated. The bar is lovely, the atmosphere really welcoming and comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend for drinks on an evening out or for a private functions.
