Original Oak in Leeds

Apareció para algún almuerzo, algunas grandes ofertas que incluyen, bebida alcohólica o no alcohólica, la comida era un lugar, el personal muy amable y divertido. Volveré

The best pub to go to at this time of year- reasonable prices, great staff and food and most of the all the best atmosphere for a good night out

Great pub. Only been the once, when I’m local area, but food, service, atmosphere were all great. Has the most impressive garden with big screen and outside bar. Would definitely visit again. Great find!!

Lovely atmosphere and great people

I attended a private function with my 5 year old autistic son. Unfortunately he experienced sensory overload which caused him distress. The staff went way above and beyond by providing a quiet space for him to calm down in and giving him a drink and some crisps free of charge. Being a parent of a child with his needs can be challenging, especially when out in public, so to receive the support I did was extremely humbling and appreciated. I would like to extend special thanks to Joe and Simon for the care they offered.

Great at making the downstairs area comfortable for those not involved in the Otley run. Good sports coverage

One of the biggest pubs I've ever been in. Great atmosphere. Excellent place for watching big sporting events

I work here and it's great for students and anybody Else who likes a drink and a meal 100% excellent service and the Best customer service ever.

Always a great pub to go for a drink or something to eat as well. Great atmosphere huge beer garden.

The bouncer wanted to search me on suspicion of doing drugs in the toilet. I said I don't have drugs, but I don't consent to a search, so I'll leave. He said I either let him search me, or he will call the police. Then I told him to call the police, to which he let me leave. I'm fine with being asked to leave, it's the bluffing about calling the police and not letting me go at first that left a bad taste in my mouth. It's a shame because the food was actually good.

Brilliant pub in a lovely area. One, if not the most impressive beer gardens I have seen, with a massive outdoor screen for sports, with several outside bars. We were here for a gig and stumbled across this pub, and it is definitely a must visit! We arrived early in the day about 3pm, and my partner wanted some food to snack on. The chef was running late, so no food was available, we were about to leave when one of the staff members, Joe. Offered personally to cook us some chips to tide us over. This was a small gesture but much appreciated as we were running late for our gig. He was also very friendly and was happy to help with anything we needed. They are quite busy each weekend with students, but it seems there is a room for the students and one for the regulars, which I think is a great idea Beer was good, guinness was good. Overall, it was a lovely experience from a friendly pub.

Karaoke was a laugh but I bottled it

This has surely got to be the best pub and beer garden in Leeds.

Just nipped in for some nibbles, excellent food and quick service, sat in the beer garden on a lovely sunny day.

Good place for sport fan's larger outside area and big screen TV down stairs not so good

Un fantástico , pub, con un personal brillante y amable. Una gran variedad de bebidas y buena comida, absolutamente bien vale la pena una visita

i had the nicest experience with bartender charlotte!! unbelievably nice and will help with any issue you encounter.

Really good service from bartender Charlotte 10/10 ❤️❤️

Charlotte and Josh made it great, best bar in town

Me sentí muy bienvenido en este pub debido al personal servicial, especialmente la hospitalidad de la camarera Caitlyn. Los porteros estaban en plena forma, impidiendo la entrada a todos los borrachos desordenadamente. Los precios eran competitivos pero no extorsivos. La comida era genial y cocinado a petición con mucho cuidado para mi alergia a los frutos secos, que de nuevo fue atendido por Cailtyn. En general recomendaría encarecidamente este pub a todo tipo de familias e incluso dejan entrar perros : )

Amazing service from our friendly bartender Charlotte would definitely recommend!!

Went in before a rhinos game so it was fairly busy. Good selection of drinks, friendly enough staff and a lot of space. Best place for a pre game drink in my opinion. Dropped a star because I asked for a fruit shoot for my kid and they have me j2o

Lovely beer garden and drinks, was disappointed on the day that they weren't serving their full menu but only doing a BBQ which was a bit pricey for a small beef burger that wasn't that tasty.

Will and Alex are amazing and are great servants. Keep it up big lads

Very good bar and part of the Otleh run. Large beer garden, great in the Sun. Lots of Students and fancy dress parties.

The dark curly haired bloke is right sound, very approachable and holds impeccable service.

Divertido pub y siempre ocupado que muestra lo popular y lo genial que es el ambiente! Fuimos aquí para Otley Run hace unos años y es un pub agradable, especialmente durante la época de primavera / verano.

Came for a spot of lunch and the food was delicious. The tall blonde manager was very accommodating and helped recommend drinks to me. Will definitely be returning!

Great atmosphere and energy, huge beer garden and screen. Was fairly priced and friendly staff, member of staff with a mullet was particularly helpful and friendly providing exemplar service all night.

George was such a great bartender and provided amazing service, I’ll be back!

Come here all time, amazing staff, amazing food and the bar looks really good. I got served by Eve she was really nice and attentive

Very good watch atmosphere to watch the final, shame about the result. The guy with black curly hair served me and was very good and consistent throughout.

Great place for a drink, unreal atmosphere on a saturday specifically. Eve had such great customer service!!

Banging atmosphere for the euros, will definitely be coming back!

Vi la final de la Eurocopa y fue embestida. Fueron increíbles y manejaron posiblemente el día más ocupado del año como campeones. Todo el mundo era tan amable y profesional

Fantastic night watching the final. We were served by Eve, really attentive, sweet and polite. Even laughed at our "dad jokes"

Amazing place, huge garden and wonderful staff who were all so helpful and good at their jobs, worked seamlessly to provide everyone with what they wanted in a timely manner. Thank you Original Oak staff!

Nearly £9 for a shandy and a coke.... Toilets without soap and non-working hand-dryers. It's always just a bit meh. Poor pub, vastly overrated

lovely place and atmosphere, manager really pleasent

Decided not to allow people doing otley run because of the football even though they’re the ones who keep you running every week and the football comes around once every so often.

Great food, atmosphere was good and service was spot on. Amelia was really friendly - would recommend a visit and will be back soon !

Great place, highly recommend!! Amazing service from Amelia, was quick and friendly despite being so busy due to the euros

Visited last night 30/6/24 I just wanted to say how lovely your member of staff Amelia is - so smiley, polite and a credit to your business 🤍

Absolutely amazing food and service, specifically Eve who was very welcoming and made the experience very enjoyable

I came for an otley run and eve was amazing at getting all the drinks ready for everyone! The processco bottles were popping off!

I recently visited The Original Oak and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service provided by their star bartender, Adam Knights. From the moment I entered, the inviting ambiance and stylish decor set a positive tone, but it was Adam's warm smile and welcoming demeanor that truly made the evening memorable. Adam's mixology expertise is remarkable. His ability to craft both classic and contemporary cocktails with impeccable attention to detail is unparalleled. I started with a classic Old Fashioned, which was flawlessly balanced and artfully presented, showcasing his dedication to perfection. One highlight was a custom cocktail Adam created based on my favorite flavors. After a brief chat, he whipped up a drink that was not only delicious but also visually stunning. This personalized touch demonstrated his intuitive understanding of customer preferences and his talent for exceeding expectations. Beyond his technical skills, Adam excels at creating a sense of community among patrons. He engages with customers, remembers regulars' favorite drinks, and makes everyone feel valued. His genuine interest and enthusiasm foster a welcoming atmosphere that sets The Original Oak apart. Adam's professionalism is exemplary. Despite the busy environment, he remained composed, efficient, and attentive, effortlessly multitasking between making cocktails, engaging in friendly banter, and managing the bar's inventory. His calm demeanor and proficiency contribute significantly to the bar's inviting atmosphere. The Original Oak is a fantastic venue with its rich history and extensive drink menu, but Adam Knights elevates the experience to new heights. His dedication, skill, and commitment to customer satisfaction make him an invaluable asset. If you visit The Original Oak, I highly recommend seeking out Adam at the bar. His exceptional mixology and personable nature ensure an unforgettable experience that will leave you with a lasting impression of excellence

Terrific establishment, special mention to bartender Adam Knights, who made us feel very welcome and satisfied!

Can't beat the Oak. Top worker Adam Knights sure knows how to work them taps.

Went out for a night out to watch the euros. Great atmosphere, staff were friendly and good at pouring pints. Cheers Izaak!

Kealie is amazing always has a smile on her face. Always working hard. Will defo be back again such a good atmosphere... .

Great place for a few or possibly more than a few. The staff are excellent, friendly, well trained and knowledgeable. Bob down & try it out!

What a wonderful pub. Love this place in the summer. Fair prices, amazing staff. Totally awesome beer garden

Cracking boozer. Staff always friendly and food is spot on. Was served by Kelly, woman in her late 40s today and the young lady behind the bar was also very helpful. Will recommend to my colleagues!

Great place but the bouncers won't let you in even if your mates have saved you a spot, obviously need to hire some decent people

Ginger haired lad served me and he was a class service good chat and very polite I’ll definitely be returning ❤️

Amazing experience, lovely, efficient and friendly staff always offering a helping hand

Went on a busy Saturday but was not disappointed. Staff were kind and service was fast. Good food too

George was amazing, great bartender.

Staff are so rude. Don’t recommend at all. Whisper about you behind the bar and slow service.

Very busy with students in fancy dress. Great atmosphere for a drink before going to the stadium. Large indoor and outdoor areas. If not in fancy dress use the bar downstairs to get served quicker.

Great pub, even better on a sunny afternoon.

Paid a visit before the rugby, decided to stay and drink here as screen huge.

The food is SO good here that it is quite lucky I don't live here or i'd be (more) fat and (more) broke 🤣 proper and very cheesy Mac and cheese, chicken and ham pie delicious and tasty small plates. Staff are friendly but not overly attentive. Great place

joe was amazing! super nice and amazing service from all the bar, 10/10!

Joe was so lovely. Nice pub and good service

Great pub fantastic atmosphere, burgers 🍔 OK but a bit overpriced for what they were.

pretty standard pub, nice beer garden with big screens for the sports!

Great staff. Get looked after every time I'm there.

A fantastic hostelry in the heart of the most vibrant suburb of Leeds. All staff are great, prices are average, lots of selection, full menu.oh and the biggest outdoor screen you will see in Leeds Well worth a visit

My favourite pub in Leeds! We had a lovely time celebrating after the Leeds marathon 🏃‍♀️

Amazing atmosphere as always! The best beer garden in the world👏🏽

Great atmosphere and all staff are very friendly. On a very busy day with the Leeds game and Leeds marathon everyone was very accommodating and good vibes!!

Another great night at the oak. Visit every time i come to Leeds. Great staff absolutely run off their feet. Hundreds of customers so unbelievably busy.Great food and drink. Youve got to come here if youre visiting Leeds.

Was on the Otley run and we got to the Oak, what can I say 😂 I was smashed lol the staff looked out for me, gave me water when I asked for it and then we ordered food which sobered me up straight away. It was crazy busy but what a cool atmosphere everyone was happy and having fun dressed up as minions, smurfs and super hero’s. Def doing the Otley run again in a few week can’t wait to get to the Oak 😂

friendly staff, great selection of drinks to choose from highly recommend

Ordered some chicken wings and got 5 pieces which looked like they had been cremated also 3 pieces of cucumber and a pice of limp lettuce

The most ridiculous beer beer garden I have ever seen. Cheeky skoferhofer grapefruit and nice vibes. Jolly good!

Wonderful pub with great staff, amazing beer garden, good selection of beers and drinks. It’s the place to go in Headingley.

Horrible place, if you're going to Leeds wouldn't recommend to anyone 'no steak, no chicken' service was terrible and food wasn't much better. Asked for Apple pie & ice cream & was served what looked like a tinned apple mush & burnt vegan nonsense of custard. AVOID

The male on the door , doesn’t have a badge , rude shouting at customers and people walking past like he owns the street , extremely rude and threatening . A white male , Wearing all black , dirty brown long hair and a moustache . Kept walking up and down shouting at people for no reason , very off putting when my friend has anxiety and he’s shouting , very off putting for those with access needs

A great pub with a great atmosphere. Drinks are a reasonable price and they do a good discount for students. There is plenty of seating outside and a large screen for live sports.

Super bad attitude may due to discrimination. Price are 30% higher than others

It's been a while since I visit here, not changed much big a large space, plenty of seating and a tentative bar staff. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Joe was amazing and the food was excellent

A large student pub. A massive beer garden. Three levels of bar areas. Pleasant staff & drinks. The food sells well. Used by Rugby & Cricket fans.

Nice pub and beer but very expensive £7,95 for pint of real ale and half of lager

The food was amazing my child ate it all

Large, unpretentious pub, had a decent pint, a few different seating areas,

This place was outstanding top class food, loved every minute, especially the boa buns, unreal. In particular my server peri was such a good crack, really kept me company
