Power, Corruption & Lies in Leeds

Great bar staff, nice wines, good mix of music

Rob was a great bartender I ask and I received. I ordered a single and realised I wanted a double, he accommodated to my request and I paid my dues. He is one of the best barstaff these guys have. I thank him as I will come again.

bouncers are utter scum ruin the night, venue and call lane

Annie, Annie, Annie! What a lovely greeting and service from the wonderful Annie. So fantastic to receive such great hospitality- will be back!

The bar itself is really nice, great atmosphere and lovely decor... Actually managed to find a seat after dinner on a Saturday! Just a shame because one round of shots was made (in my opinion) totally incorrectly ratio wise and later a cocktail we ordered was missing a key ingredient so had to be remade. Could be a newbie but for our first visit it was a shame... Might try again another time

Great service & food was amazing x

The prawn toast was so good we ordered more after eating. Great place for small bites and cocktails. We came here after the New Order gig and will be back again soon!

Absolutely love it here. It's a shame the food is not more widely talked about as it is DELICIOUS. It'd probably be less of a bar/more of a restaurant vibe in the day or weekday evenings but expect a live dj and loud music at the weekend (which is what we were after anyway). I'd highly recommend our usual order of PCL chicken rice (we get one each), pork belly, crack wings (gochujang) and edamame (which is enough for two for dinner). Not massively fussed for the bao or gyozas vs the food above. Everything came out when ready so very hot and we had the loveliest waitress too :) Would recommend over most (probably all) other comparable dim sum places in Leeds (inc Ivy Asia/Issho)

Saw the name of this place and thought I got to check it out! The waitress was really friendly and helpful when we were ordering, great customer service. We basically ordered an array of dim-sum and bao buns, all of which you can see being made of you happen to be facing in that direction. The food was great, all of it was really tasty, each dish was distinctly different from the other which prevented it getting samey and boring. Recommended to anyone. The food is really enjoyable and sounds intriguing when someone asks where you went 😂

Amazing good value food and great service in nice surroundings.

Very nice cocktails and friendly service. Great window seats for people watching

A really nice bar in a lively part of Leeds. They have a great range of cocktails and drinks to choose from.

Great place and cocktails are amazing!

Karl was soooo lovely and amazing - will come again

Nice atmosphere and good service

We were completely ignored by the staff, even when I tried to get someone's attention when they walked past they seemed like they didn't want to interact with us. We decided to leave as didn't want to spend our money somewhere we were clearly not welcome. Got a cheery 'goodbye' from another member of staff as we were leaving. Very strange. Only two other tables had people on as it was a Saturday afternoon so it's not like it was super busy.

Really nice staff and atmosphere with very tasty cocktails

We left after one drink after friends were turned away by the bouncers for being the wrong gender. Which is illegal.

This was our second visit to this venue. We made the most of the very helpful team working there and lots of help provided for choice of drinks and food. Lots of effort goes into both areas and the presentation is second to none. If ever I visit Leeds in the future it will be top of the list again.

Excellent place to have drinks and food. Great atmosphere and service from staff. The music playlist was spot on too. Throughly recommend a visit when in Leeds 👍

On a Monday, the value for money is good on the food (baos and gyoza), however wouldn’t pay full price. There’s better bao buns in Leeds when comparing the taste and texture. Salt and Pepper Chicken was burnt, but the dim sum and gyoza were good!

Schooner in an ice cold glass. My favourite for a quick one.

What a lovely night !!! Holly was such a star!!! She made our night amazing !!! Lovely bartender!! Ty for making me a gorgeous rum drink. We definitely be back xx

Bar maid was very rude to me and my mates she kept blowing out my candle on the table Then she got john Wayne to kick us out

Came with friends for some lunchtime food and drinks, ended up staying 4 hours! Great choice of Asian food, we chose a selection between 3 of us. Edamame beans, prawn toast, crack wings, Korean steak, breakfast katsu and pork belly bao buns and then dim sum….. all very tasty and generous portions. Good value for money, would definitely come again.

This is the go to place in Leeds for a night out... all the other bars filled with people, sticky floors and watered down drinks. I always have a great night out here, great drinks, always different music and you have to dance here no compromise 🕺TAKE IT EASY ON THE SHOTS PEOPLE....

What a place, the food, music, staff and atmosphere were amazing. Would highly recommend. The duck and chicken gyoza were to die for. We will certainly be back very soon. Loved it.

Great asian fusion restaurant a real pleasure to have lunch here.

Great service and security, a good venue all around. I'll be back! 🍻🍻🍻

Dark-lit and serene, soft music, and receptive service.

Me and my partner absolutely love eating here, they are also very accommodating around my nut allergy which is really great considering the style of food. The cocktails are great too and it’s always reasonably priced

We love you. best bar ever big cut and craft cuddles to Pete and Gemma

Music, drinks and quality atmosphere! Thanks!

Booked for a work lunch. The food was 5 stars all day long. Can recommend the chicken rice the bbq ribs and the salt and pepper chicken. But everything we tried was excellent

Outstanding quality of food. If going as a group, order EVERYTHING and share. Leave nothing untouched.

PETER. What a guy! I dine out a lot and to me service stands out a mile. He is an attribute to PCL, knowledgeable of the menu (as every server should be) and very welcoming to any questions we had! 10/10

Fabulous service, food was a fair price for the portions. Really good atmosphere

Great spot on Call Lane for a drink, huge range available and music is great. Looking forward ro returning soon. **********

Delicious cocktails and nice atmosphere!

One of the better bars on call lane service is really good

Absolute banging tunes tonight, thank you! Great bar staff not forgetting the door staff. Top bloke 👍

Christian made me have a ratatouille moment with the salt and pepper chicken. Honestly the best I’ve had since I was a little boy. This man needs all the profits from this establishment, it was ineffable!

Lovely bar but christ the toilets need some work. The mens were vile

Really good, and friendly staff. They made me a bramble and actually had the blackberry to garnish. Solid !

Incredible food and the music is really fun and keeps the energy up

Had ana amazinf time here. Arranged a staff do. Very accomadating. Always friednly. Highlt. Reccomend the place to anyone who wants a fun time, great experiences and friendly staff. By far one of my favourite venues in Leeds. Shout out to James for arranging my staff night. Thankyou guys. You are all amazing 👍🥳

Second time having been here, and thought that the first time was a fluke. But no the food was again AMAZING, music was a bit too loud for me. But then again I am old 🤣🤣🤣. Again thank amazing food

Love it here! Visited recently with my partner and friends and both the food and service were great. Ordered a selection of plates - breakfast bao, chicken rice, pork gyoza, garlic and soy crack wings. All amazing! My drink was forgotten about, which I didn’t mind at all, but we were given limoncello shots as an apology on the house which was a nice surprise!

Charged £2 something for a soda water. What’s next, three pounds to flush the toilet?

Good place to meet friends but price was cheap. I had a can cider @ £5.00

Great bar/restaurant doing pan-asian small plates and great cocktails.

I'd rate it one star only for the bouncer who was really sweet and helpful. We headed to the bar and we were treated like we didn't exist. None at the bar cared to ask what drink we wanted. When I finally made one of the bartenders aware of our presence, all they said was "one second" and didn't bother at all. That treatment was quite disrespectful. I do understand it can get busy, but after having stood there for a good 10 minutes, I think one of them could have attended to us. We walked out, ofcourse.

We enjoyed a fabulous lunch in one of our favourite spots down Call Lane in Leeds, PCL, we have eaten here a few times and the food (and cocktails) never let us down. The food is all Japanese small plates and the cocktails are all Asian inspired too using ingredients such as Matcha and Yuzu. There is a good mix of slightly larger dishes and smaller dishes to be served tapas style- we would recommend 5-6 per couple depending on which you choose. We sampled the summer menu which has some of the dishes we have tried before as well as some new ones- there are a selection of Baos and Dim Sum as well as the main dishes. We absolutely loved everything we tried- it was all served hot and fresh as it was made and the flavours were immense. The new cocktail menu is amazing too.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere

Popped in for a quick bite/ light lunch. Was a pick and mix small plates menu. “Asian style tapas”. All the food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. Service was wonderfully welcoming. Will definitely come back.

What an absolutely amazing place. The food is aways brilliant- I’d eat here every day if I could and the gyozas are the best I’ve had. Fantastic cocktails in a lovely place with amazing staff and excellent service. Looking forward to next time already.

This is my absolute favourite bar in Leeds! The staff are so friendly and accommodating. I would give six stars if I could!

Absolutely love this place! The food and cocktails are amazing, as are the staff. Be sure to visit if you are in Leeds

Arguably the best margarita cocktail I’ve ever had in this place.. that spiced rim is elite!! Been here three times now, never let us down. Ate on 1/3 of those visits and the bao buns were delightful. Great vibes, food and drinks… cannot ask for much more.

No chance on getting if you are single or Asian !!!! The Black bouncer won't let you in !!!!! Seems vey elitist with bad attitude. sadly another bar on car Lane letting Leeds single and Asian people down

Nice atmosphere and good prices but smells intensely of a chip shop please sort it out, as it’s not the smell you want in a bar

Great atmosphere, quick and friendly service. Menu & drinks are too notch. Good place for a date!

I was attracted to this bar due to the name - I am a massive New Order fan! The bouncer on the door was brilliant, hilarious and helpful. The manager spent a good amount of time talking to me about the New Order connection and even put on some New Order music for us and gave us free shots. He really cares about his customers, ensuring that we were welcomed, we had a great time, excellent atmosphere, great music and loved it there.

We came here over the bank holiday weekend before we went for a meal. The bar is lovely, they have a good choice of drinks including a gluten free beer (virtuous) and do a good mix of other drinks too. Atmosphere is really nice and service is always excellent whenever we go. Can’t wait to go back . This place is a gem and hope to try the food out shortly

Amazing place, good cocktails & food, super helpful and lovely staff. The bao buns are incredible here and great value for money.

Pints are great but the music is way too loud!!! The waiters are hot, customers are even hotter !

Nice place, seriously overpriced though.

Not bad but wouldn’t rush back. Food tasty but a bit too salty and cocktails a bit too sweet. Staff friendly, atmosphere a little off. Maybe reaching for the theme a bit too much and not quite getting it.

Great service and the food was brilliant and well priced too...

Great food and amazing service, the bartender is amazing and he is captivating to watch

Great atmosphere, lovely cocktails and staff who seem to actually care and want to engage with their customers. A bar doing things right is a novelty nowadays. I haven't yet tried the food on my last couple of visits but I've heard it's very good.

Absolutely amazing food and quick, friendly service. Interesting selection of dishes and distinctive flavours. We enjoyed everything we ordered, especially the fish karaage. Sadly, the music was too loud to have a conversation and the seating was a bit cramped. The kitchen was also out of several dishes, which was a shame. We were charged for a dish that we didn't even receive, though our server resolved this quickly. Overall, a lovely place for dinner but the atmosphere has room for improvement.

First time visiting PCL and really enjoyed everything about it. The food was delicious and was served so quickly - the menu had a great range of options too. Loved the vibe and would definitely come back again!

Nice bar and toilets were spacious and clean.

Great music, really good wine and a brilliant atmosphere

Really cozy vibe. Toilets weren’t the cleanest and could be better. Drinks were nice and I loved the lighting when I was here, it’s how I aspire my office to look! Great for an evening drink.

Very good cocktails, great music and a relaxed environment.

Great place: great drinks, brilliant music, fantastic food. I didn't have the food, but I've been told it is amazing. Ideal place for a good night out. And of course the staff are 2nd to none. Highly recommended

Love this place. Why? A simple gesture by a bar tender. A man with a beautiful moustache. He went across the road to get me a whiskey. If that's not service I don't know what is. The gyozas were great too :)

Popped to Leeds for the weekend, wife’s birthday. Was recommended PCL. Wasn’t disappointed - gorgeous food, friendly attentive staff, and an 80s electronic soundtrack 👌🏻

Went here for a few drinks and some food and had a great time! The lychee cocktail is unbelievable, the food was smashing across the board and I can't wait to visit again!

Fantastic dishes. Great atmosphere. Lovely.

Lovely atmosphere, lovely drinks (very accommodating for different cocktails) and really friendly staff! Recommend

Lovely atmosphere & great staff 😀

Fave! Come here all the time and can't fault it!

Friendly staff and a chilled atmosphere. Japanese food and snacks

Went here last night for Friday night drinks. The service was fantastic. They have an interesting selection of cocktails with eclectic flavour combinations. The food is East Asian street food. The gyoza and dipping sauces were delicious.

We went here for cocktails which were very good and had great names. We didn’t eat here but the food that other customers were eating looked good and the staff were very friendly. We were given a great recommendation from a member of staff for somewhere local to go out dancing and had a great time.

The food here is something else. I highly recommend it!

Great bar, attentive staff. Great music

Had a fantastic evening here with good friends. Millie was a fantastic server, very friendly and helpful. The “what a mighty good marg” is now a personal favourite.

What an amazing bar. With sleek decor and exquisite drinks u is this is the place to be. All our cocktails were made with love and care by the delightful Millie who provided all our drinks in record time with a smile on her face. 5/5 would recommend

Stopped to have a drink outside. Lovely doorman let the waitresses know we were there. Just had a couple of drinks, on a warm evening, very pleasant. Staff very nice. Didn't eat there or go inside so can't comment on that.

We chose the fabulous Power Corruption Lies for our last day lunch on our Leeds staycation, which is a Japanese inspired restaurant and bar serving small plates, sake and cocktails. We have been eyeing up the food menu for a while and decided to go...

Had 2 great cocktails and would be leaving a 5 star review however there was an issue with a service charge. We were given a 10% service charge completely hidden as the receipt was placed down at the same time as the card reader being...

The cocktails my boyfriend and I had were lovely, we really enjoyed them and the music was brilliant. A really good atmosphere for a Friday night visiting a city. My only issue, the service charge which was not mentioned at all. Bar tenders are reluctant...

We went to PCL for tea as a couple. The food was nice- but small for the price. We had a bao bun and dumplings each and were still hungry afterwards. But I suppose that is Leeds city centre for you. The atmosphere was a...

Good food and nice atmosphere. The staff are friendly as well. Definitely recommend it.

Just amazing! Everyone in the team is lovely and amicable and up for a laugh! Incredible team work and service, thank you for your 10/10 service and a great experience. You guys rock!

Terrible place They keep pushing you to drink making you feel uncomfortable all the time. They did bring us a drink we did not order and made us pay for it We were talking to some girls and they forced us not to talk even though we were talking from our table. Especially this guy with a headbun was extremely aggressive about it and very rude. He ruined our night. Overall terrible experience AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
