Playroom in Leeds

I went here for the brunch with work a few Saturdays ago, and I wasn't too impressed with the food or drink. The drinks were watery and majority of the group had the beef burrito but they said it was too Spicy so most of it got left. I had the pasta and was quite surprised that it was nice. The portion size was OK too. The staff did keep coming over to our table regularly to take drinks Orders and clear the empties. The place is definitely for the young uns and had a good lively atmosphere. The staff get involved too.

Came here for a bottomless brunch, £40 for a Saturday which is already expensive for a brunch so had high expectations. Got a drink upon arrival at the door and it was warm and flat. Luckily, a server came over to get another drinks order. I ordered vodka orange for most of the night and you could tell the juice was warm with 2 bits of ice in to make it cold… not the best. But service was friendly and quick which was appreciated and made the experience better! Then the food came and i was honestly shocked at the portion sizes, the fries were only filled half way up the fry basket and i got the salad, which was lettuce and cheese… £40 brunch for warm and flat drinks to get a handful of lettuce in a bowl? Was very disappointed. To top it off to, it says online that the salad offered part if the brunch is ‘V’ for vegetarian, yet mine came with chicken on it? I have no idea if this was a kitchen error or an error on my part but it should be made clear if food has be requested to be veterinarian or comes vegetarian. I’ve also now seen reviews about the drinks tasting like they have no alcohol in which i also agree with. Wouldn’t recommend this place for brunch.

I have been to this brunch when it was located in another venue in Leeds and really enjoyed that. I really like Playroom and location wise it is 10/10. We were offered a drink on arrival- gin or vodka with lemonade and the mixer was FLAT. All of the mixers used were flat. I had a vodka tonic which didn’t actually taste of anything- it almost felt like it was just mixed with pure water. I mainly stuck to rum punch after this which was really nice. Although the small cups used were very small. Food was really nice, just not enough of it. Service was actually really good. We had the same person taking care of us and he was back and forth taking drinks orders from us. The music is the best bit about the brunch and the atmosphere overall is really good. Everyone is genuinely there to just have a good time. There are so many places in Leeds now that offer a better brunch, for less money and more time with more drinks offerings. I wouldn’t brunch here again if it was just for the drinks but would do for the food/music + atmosphere.

WORST brunch drinks ever the coke was all flat no matter how many times they changed it. Felt sorry for the servers because it’s not their fault. Popcorn chicken and chips was nice and hot. Won’t be back because of the terrible drinks not worth nearly £40.

would not recommend. Received 3 drinks after paying £40 for brunch. Staff are rude and we’re not interested in serving us at all. I went up and asked as we had not been served for 30 minutes, I was told that bottomless had ended , this was 8.10pm when it was supposed to end at 8.30pm. Twice my friends drink was wrong. Lemonade tasted like sparking water. Coke tasted like tonic water. really disappointed and will not be returning.

Went to a bottomless ABBA. Service was slow for drinks on arrival, 20mins after the event started but quickly improved. The ABBA drag act were funny, entertaining & involved the crowd

We came here last Saturday and paid £40 to recieve 3 drinks order all 3 times something was wrong and on the last drinks order half of the drinks were missing but every other table seemed to be getting drinks and drinks? even when we went upto bar to ask for more, they told us we need to do it with our server but he came 3 times within an hour and a half. the food came out wrong, taken off of us and given to a new table without changing even though we had started touching it, when our actual food came it was still wrong and they didn’t have the best of attitudes to fix it. i’ve emailed them to sort it out and there’s 0 communication waste of money.

absolutely disgraceful,a rip off paid about 40 pound for bottomless brunch and had about 3 drinks? got the order wrong multiple times and took a long time to get right,just not worth the money left early

Worst bottomless brunch I've ever had. All the drinks were brought to the table in the same black plastic beakers, no one knew who's drink was who's and they didn't taste like they contained any alcohol. So in the end we all drank prosecco. No cocktails on the bottomless brunch!! The food portions wouldn't even fill a child, I had popcorn chicken and fries, only got 3 pieces of popcorn chicken!! Only good thing was the music. Would not recommend or ever return. Plenty more good places that do bottomless brunch. Advice... eat before you go!!

What a wonderful place. We went for brunch for my sister 40th. It was amazing. Fantastic atmosphere. The best tunes and lovely food. The service was fantastic. We loved our girl Megan. Nothing was too much. She was fab give the girl a pay rise lol 😆 all in all it was a brilliant expirence and we will 100% be back. Highly recommended 👌

Amazing time at the bottomless brunch for my friends hen do. Staff, food, music everything was great! X

Had an amazing time here yesterday,,highly recommended xx

Good bar. Will update to five starts when security is changed Bouncers need to stop lying about ticketed event. When questioned they say the tickets are free but they don’t know how to get them!

Best Bottomless Brunch in Leeds! AMAZING Old school music, fast quick service with a smile. Guaranteed Amazing day/Night

Bottomless brunch is great. Staff are quick with drinks and welcoming. Good party atmosphere and a live DJ but not too loud to have a conversation. Food was lovely but slightly small.

The service was very poor indeed for a "bottomless brunch", the fact that it took half an hour for you to get your first drink was quite frankly awful....so take care to clarify this before you book to go here. I certainly will not be going again.

In December 2023 we held our office Christmas party at Playroom and i can confidently say that everyone who attended had a the best night! Aliko, the event manager, was amazing. From the first time we met back in summer, all the way to the very end of the event - so attentive and couldn't do enough for us, so thank you! Bar staff were also great, always friendly and so helpful. The food was 10/10 - quality and presentation wise, the best we've ever had at a Christmas party by far. Everyone enjoyed it, so much that some people went up for thirds! The DJ, sax player, and magician were all faultless. Super friendly and kept everyone entertained for the whole night. They worked around us the whole night and nothing was ever an issue for them. Overall, a night to remember. We plan to hold our 2024 Christmas party here too if the availability is there!! Thank you so much Playroom, especially Aliko! Superstar ⭐

The music is so loud you can't hear yourself think. Lots of intoxicated people stumbling around having a great time. Staff were all friendly, even the giant doorman. Food was a bit naff but I ate it and enjoyed it. I wouldn't go back, but only because I'm too old for that kind of nonsense. If you are 20 to 30 then I highly recommend it. No doubt you will have a great time.

Went here for my staff party and service was amazing!

Staff party last night was truly amazing! Great food, great atmosphere and the service at the bar was really fast! Each and every member of staff were friendly and really helpful! Nothing was too much trouble! The manager is great, and made sure everyone enjoyed themselves ❤️

Went to a staff party here and it was great, staff were lovely

We had our Christmas party here and it was one of the best we've done in years. Food was really good, and the staff were super nice and helpful. 100% would go back.

Brought 100+ people here for a Xmas staff party… They were hands down the best venue we’ve organised a Xmas party at! Excellent service, very helpful in the organisation, and the food was absolutely outstanding!

honestly had the best night at playroom yesterday! perfect for a christmas party and hosts/hostesses were all fab.

Myself and work colleagues came for a bottomless brunch for an early xmas party.our booking was 5 till 6.30,we didn't get seated and with our first drink until almost 5.20! Very slow and poor drinks choices. I asked for a proseco and it never arrived, food was actually nice although the portions were small for the price we paid. £35 is far too much to pay for what we received ,wouldn't recommend

Went with the girls and I had so much fun. The staff were so friendly and really fast with the drinks. I highly recommend it for a fun way to get absolutely smashed innot !!

Had the best bottomless dinner here! Our server ( can’t remember her name but had the best curly hair) was amazing and quick. Props to the chef the food was gorgeous. Had an issue with not liking our table but were quickly moved when we brought it up. Will be back :)

Amazing food, drinks, staff and music !!

Was definitely the best brunch and after party I’ve been to. The food was amazing and our server was quick. Great music and vibes. Definitely recommend

I’ll return every week here Bar staff amazing Waitresses amazing music amazing love the vibe love the energy

Solid little spot. Good vibes and decent friday night music from a selection of local DJs. Friends have been for food and tell me its very good 😁

Lives up to the expectation of ‘Leeds Number 1 Brunch’. Food was 10/10, drinks were constantly flowing and our server Gabby was amazing, couldn’t have been any better. Already booked to come back :)

Really good experience if you want to dine and drink for a Saturday brunch special or to even chill for a friendly food service on a Thursday, new menu with different style boards to choose from with the Asian being the most popular or the American boards bringing the sweet taste

The food was 10/10, vibes were immaculate. you’ll see me again

insane vibes, floor staff are amazing

Amazing venue with great music. Always a great vibe when I go. Very thoughtful with the free birthday cocktail. Amazing service from our beautiful waiter Chloe.Will defineilty be returning

came here with friends for a bottomless dinner and food was gorgeous with big range, mac and cheese was a fave. our server was quick with drinks and music was great, ended up staying for more drinks. good vibes all around will defo be back !!!

Love it here fave place to go in leeds

Food was amazing, couldn't decide on what to pick as they all sounded great. Bartenders were insanely great, gave me multiple recommendations even after I changed my mind over and over. Will definitely be returning again.

Horrendous service, got a free vodka on arrival which was just water. One girl (I didn’t get her name was very pretty with wavy hair and I tipped her £5 for trying to rectify the bad show of a service) we arrived at 3pm had to wait downstairs till our table was ready. Then got seated at a table away from everyone else. I specifically requested to move and luckily someone else hadn’t turned up So we had their table. Despite this we repeatedly ordered drinks and waited 43 minutes for our second drink. Food was small and cold. Good music but not worth the money would definitely recommend my local tooth and tiger brunch in Pontefract over this.

Absolutely shocking drinks no alcohol in em unless you drinking prosecco Food beautiful Security staff Absolutely lovely Management lovely But table service Absolutely sh#t Drinks ! might aswell asked for pop

We came to the Back When Bottomless Brunch for a hen do and it was fantastic. They kept the drinks flowing, really looked after us and the music was amazing. Would definitely recommend!

Didn’t let us in due to so called dress code which isn’t listed anywhere on any website at all. Manger had power trip not letting us in. After us then let someone in with Tracky bottoms.

Refused entry due to dress code. Manager basically told us he wouldn’t let us in after not being told dress code even from directly booking it via Instagram. I would save your money and go somewhere else.

Tom zanetti really went above and beyond. He even wiped my arse for me ! Tom zanetti really knows how to run a club! I love him so much :)

Average place and way, way overpriced, ok it's Leeds city centre but £13.50 for a bog standard wine and £5 foe a small bottle of beer. No, never again. Probably won't last long anyway, too much superior competition on the doorstep.

tom zanetti really goes above and beyond for his patrons. he was my toilet paper holder and wiped for me when i couldnt reach around my big bum. i love him.

To summarise, it's ok. The drinks in my opinion, weren't good. Warm rum punch with no ice, desperados with no limes (although to be fair I got given lime cordial). Prosecco was on the cheap side - but to be expected given its a bottomless brunch. I'm usually a gin drinker but as it was Gordon's, I decided to swerve that. The food was good. A lot nicer than I was expecting. The only downside is that there was absolutely not enough. A quarter/ fifth of a small corn on the cob, a small slider, chicken kebab and a small basket of chips. My sister is a veggie, she didn't like hers so her other veggie friend finished hers. The upstairs area is ok when everyone is sat down. Once everyone gets up dancing, it's a bit chaotic and must be horrific for the staff to serve. Toilets were small and cramped, no toilet roll or ventilation. I would also add the service was good - drinks kept flowing and the servers were friendly. Downstairs is dingy and cramped. The toilets are worse down here and absolutely stank. Stood at the bar for about twenty minutes and still hadn't been served so walked away. They only had two bar staff and with everyone coming down from the brunch, there needed to be more to keep up with the orders. If you don't mind a lower end brunch, I'd say this is ok but if you want somewhere a bit classier, have a look around.

So although been pleasant and I know free act FAMILY DAY NO KIDS MENU, Prices was put burger gone from £12,95 to nearly £20 excellent service but the kids needed looking after to

Booked for my sons 18th birthday celebration months ago rang today to ask about dress code and double check what was acceptable only to be turned away when we got there ,ruined my sons night arrogant general manager and bouncers will never go again or recommend anyone to go either ,there was loads of places we could’ve booked but my son loves Tom zanetti so wanted to go to playroom absolute shambles of a night ruined my sons birthday 🤬🤬

Brilliant venue with great staff. Definitely recommended for going on a Saturday for their bottomless brunch, great music and atmosphere.

The staff was lovely, the package we got was unlimited drinks and a dinner in the space of 90 minutes, but after 30 minutes the food came out and after we fished with the food we just got brushed off when We asked for more drinks. The food was lovely, very rich in flavour.

24 of us were booked to go here for joint 40th birthday celebrations this Saturday, we had booked a private room and bottomless brunch package. 5 days before, the lead booker received an email saying they would have to move our booking due to an external organiser coming in and they have had to accommodate them. They offered 1pm or 3pm as alternative times, we couldn't accept this as we have activities booked prior to the brunch. Imagine the stress this has caused for then have to cancel the booking and find somewhere that could fit our party size on a Saturday! The booking was made well in advance and to be let down like this is disgusting and the cheek of offering free shots as a token of goodwill is just a slap in face ! If your thinking of booking here make sure you have a plan b. Based on our experience I would not recommend!

Beautiful venue, music great ! The brunch needs to be organized a bit better, there wasn’t enough room in the booths for the amount of people in our party. Three guests didn’t get there first drink till 19.35 after asking on multiple occasions. The poor staff seemed run off there feet. One of our guests got pulled over his trainers when we arrived. He got let in but got told he had to leave as soon as the brunch was over. If they want to stick to a dress code I would say a Leeds United shirt wasn’t dress to impress but there was a gentleman dancing about the place in one ! If your making rules then they should apply to everyone. We had a good night but it could of been a bit better! Room for improvement!

My friend had a brunch booked for her a birthday, a group of boys and girls. We turned up to playroom and the bouncers on the door would not let any of the boys into the venue as they were not dressed ‘appropriately’, even though they had polo shirts and jeans on. Funnily enough every other bar in town let us in after this, even the ones with strict dress codes. We then asked if the girls in the group could do the brunch without the boys, to which the man on the door proceeded to tell us that they had ‘double booked’ us and had no table available for us to do brunch, even though we had paid deposits and when walking into the venue before the boys and stating to the lady on the door that we had a booking for brunch she let us in. The problem regarding being double booked only arose once they decided not to let the boys in. Coincide? I think not. The staff on the door including the owners of the bar were really rude and unhelpful, they just turned their noses up at us. They offered us to use our deposits for 1 drink each when the drinks cost more than £10 and also said we can book the brunch for another time instead. Why would we want to book again and give these people our custom after the experience we just had? Would not recommend to anyone, there are far better places in town to do brunch with nicer staff.

A great welcome from the friendliest door man ever a member of the team got us to our table straight away Really cool decor Great comfort style food Wow duck spring rolls chicken sliders and sticky beef food was awesome served with a bit of drama fast flowing mist very clever The best service from all the team If you are looking for great food live djs and a great vibe this is it Absolutely loved it

My friends and I went for a Cirque Du Brunch last weekend, the menu was limited however the food we received was really tasty & a fair portion. The salt and pepper chicken in particular was amazing! I'd seen on here people complaining that you had to pick one drink and stick to it, this wasn't the case for us and we were free to order whatever we wanted each time. I must say though that the drinks were very weak, however we were being served so frequently that I still feel we got our money's worth. One of my friends was late due to delayed trains, and they gave her a double drink to help her catch up to us which was nice - they were under no obligation to do something like that! They would replace your drinks when the last one was less than half full, and we didn't go without a drink for the full 90 mins which was a sign of a good bottomless brunch. The DJ played so many good songs, 90s/00's/10's girls night out type music, loud enough to enjoy a sing/dance but not too loud you couldn't hear each other. The 'show' wasn't really a show, they handed out red napkins to everyone near the end of the brunch and has us dance around. My friends and I didn't mind this so much as we'd had a few drinks and it was a bit of fun! Overall it was an enjoyable experience that I would definitely pay for again!

Loved the atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was superb Would go again :)

Sunday dinner was pitiful. Aunt bessies yorkshire puddings, frozen roasties. Only comes with 1 pot of veg between 5 and same for cauliflower cheese. Had to go somewhere else after for a snack because we were still hungry. Also couldn't hear a word anyone said because some singer was on at 500 decibels

Definitely wouldn’t return for the bottomless brunch again. Was not stipulated at any point that once you pick a spirit you have to stick to the same one throughout, it took us complaining to get around this and speaking to other tables they had the same problem. Drinks were served in tall glasses so you couldn’t taste the alcohol, and even when we requested smaller glasses it wasn’t much better. The “cirque” brunch name gives the impression there will be some entertainment but there was none, other than giving us napkins to swing around for 5 minutes before we left. Positive was that the food was nice, however the options were very limited. The waitress we initially got I think was new as we saw what looked to be her complaining that we evidently weren’t happy and our waitress was then swapped, although all the staff we dealt with were nice and polite. I also requested some birthday balloons (and offered to pay a fee) but was told they would arrange it for free, the table had no decorations on when we arrived and weren’t put down until about 15 minutes after our arrival, which was a shame. 3 stars for the food & staff as I believe they knew it wasn’t a great brunch compared to others available in Leeds, but not their fault.

Cirque du brunch - do not bother. The advert for this is a huge misrepresentation! The drinks, food and ‘show’ are nothing like what is advertised. The food is ok but the menu is hugely limited. You have to pay extra if you want tonic with your gin and you have to pick a drink and stick to it - no swapping or changing your drink! If you think this is a brunch where you get Prosecco on tap then order your drink of choice think again!! We were often left without a drink and had to approach the bar after 15 mins to find out where our drinks were. The drinks we did receive were weak and the rum and Coke’s where 98% rola cola. The show consisted of them handing out napkins for us to wave around in the air, fine ish if we were drunk but the watered down drinks ensured that wasn’t the case. The waitress couldn’t crack a smile. All in all a terrible waste of money, DO NOT BOTHER!!!

We wanted to try playroom due to its advertisement of a show which looked amazing. We arrived to find the menu had changed to what was advertised and that we could only order one type of drink again it didnt state this online or on the menu on the day. You also had to pay for tonic with gin strange when its the mixer to go with the spirit. Food was ok. Then came the show which wasnt a show at all just customers swinging a napkin above their heads. I would like to point out that the Dj was excellent and the staff were helpful but overall there are far better brunchs elsewhere in leeds and they didnt provide what was advertise.

Honestly it pains me to write a bad review, but we are. Firstly we were promised free flowing drinks. But it transpires we had to stick to one drink. Couldn't order anything different than our first choice. How disappointing (can you imagine going to the bar and not having a choice?). These drinks were so weak I could just taste the mixer. Also, only lemonade or coke offered. Secondly, food was limited but okay. Except my chicken was raw in places but I enjoyed the chips (credit where credit is due). The biggest issue was that we chose playroom for brunch and a show, cirque du brunch! We could have chosen anywhere else but it sounded different and interesting. There was no show. Embarrassingly they gave us a napkin and made us dance around to make our own show. No entertainers at all. It was cringe. I've never felt so ripped off. Please save your dignity and go to one of the many other great brunches on offer in this great city.

I would give it 0 stars. We went there for a few drinks. The place was dead the music was weird. Since there were about 20 of us (and nobody else) requested the DJ to play some nice upbeat music. The DJ was rude & racist. Never going back again.

Organised my friends hen party here for 22 people the staff was absolutely fabulous had a great night, the only fault I could fine was that you had to go downstairs for drinks if you did not have a tab ….. which is extremely hard with large parties. Maybe for future you might consider letting people use the upstairs bar and pay their and then

5🌟 Review for Karl & the team at Playroom Restaurant & Bar. We visited Saturday for my little sisters 40th. The food & entertainment was fantastic! Birthday card & shot from Tom too! Cannot thank you all enough! 👏👏 See you again very soon! Xx

10/10 for the night we had on Saturday 20th August for my little sisters 40th Birthday. Huge thanks to Karl and all the staff for a fantastic night! The food was amazing, we were a small party of 4 but from the time of booking,...

My daughter attended a 13th Birthday party here and had the best time ever! Thank you so much to the wonderful security at this venue (Michael) for ensuring my daughter and her friend were safe until I arrived to collect them. My daughter told me the wrong time by half an hour and Michael waited with them after he’d already finished work to make sure they were picked up safely. Much appreciated!

Fantastic food and cocktails with acts while you're dining great experience will be coming again

Food was expensive for what you got but overall experience was great.

Food was delicious. All dishes were proper tasty. Good selection. Beef was on point. Staff very helpful and accommodating. Thursday meal and drinks offer is a must x3 drinks plus x2 small plates and a side great value for money and delicious x

Came for a friends birthday for food and drinks. I didn’t know what to expect really, but it by far exceeded my expectations. The food was fabulous! We had an array of small plates that were lovely! The truffle fries and the sticky beef were...

Was served by a girl called Chloe who was extremely professional and friendly and made my visit run very smoothly. Great food and cocktails will definitely be coming back

The food is amazing and the customer service is great, especially from Charlotte. We will definitely be revisiting playroom.

Love the sticky beef and duck rolls!

Have been to playroom many times since it opened the food is unreal and always spot on, plenty of choice and the atmosphere is amazing.

10/10 food and amazing service! would definitely recommend and go again. dancers were incredible too!!

Amazing food and the atmosphere is breathtaking! Perfect setting for friends and a memorable evening.

Honestly, I go to Playroom every week because there’s nothing else even close to it in Leeds. The food is honestly beautiful the customer service matches the standards of the venue which is amazing. The live performances whilst enjoying your meal is also something I...

Security guard with long dreadlocks really bad attitude. Very rude to my friend for no reason at all. He even said “I’ll be rude to who I want here what are you going to do about it” to a girl. Really brought the VIP feel down. Clearly either a bully, too many steroids, very insecure or a tiny mid region.

Fab night in the private dining area for a friend's 40th celebration. The food was delicious - especially the calamari and cauliflower. Staff were friendly and attentive and kept the drinks flowing. Great tunes and venue for groups, will definitely visit again!

Amazing night and food is unreal!!

We had a fabulous evening and food was amazing. The entertainment was a really nice touch and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend.

Top notch food, lovely staff and had a brilliant time for my daughters birthday! Just a shame we didn’t see Tom Zanetti😂

Great cocktails, 2 for £9.95 , 2 to 6pm. Nice venue in the heart of the bar/club scene. Bar manager downstairs was great.

Had a fantastic night at the Adel tribute food was absolutely lovely. All the staff were great thankyou for a brilliant evening

Was so excited to visit this new venue and wasn't disappointed the food was superb the "Whitney Houston" tribute act was great too the restaurant was full and buzzing, the staff were so welcoming and attentive from the moment you walked in nothing was too...

Rubbish If towie made nightclubs...oh wait they did. purposely designed to exploit people who think expensive must mean good. The type of place where people would rather take pics of food than actually eat it. The fact they removed reviews on fb says it all

Food was really good in the restaurant upstairs. Service great too. We had the Tomahawk steak and some small plates. Still thinking about it all now to be honest. Would definitely recommend! Left very full

IMMACULATE VIBES! Nick looked after us, got us seated even though we were nearly half an hour late. Will defo visit again! 👍🏻

What a venue, food, service and atmosphere on point 😍😍 100% returning best eatery for vibes and customer service going 🙌🏼🙌🏼
