Terminus Tap Room and Bottle Shop in Leeds

Generally a great pub, but last time I was there was disappointed by lack of choice in bottles/ cans EDIT: I would have been happy to bump up the review to 4 stars since the owner explained the problem in supply. However, the sarcasm from the owner regarding the 3 stars (which in my opinion isn't a bad rating) makes me unwilling.

One of the best bars in Leeds. Superb outside space and great food pop-ups

Great range of beers, including a lot brewed on site. Great little decking bit out front and cozy both downstairs and up.

Excellent pub. Good beer range.

Great courtyard for a beer or three.

We attended as a group as part of a 40th Birthday celebration. There was a mix-up and unfortunately our table wasn't waiting for us as expected but the staff were great - quickly found us a table and brought free prosecco to make up for the mistake. Great atmosphere as always - wished we had stayed longer rather than move elsewhere. Only disappointment was lack of tequila at the bar :)

Oxford English Dictionary defines Terminus as "a final point in space or time; an end or extremity." We define it as "the pinnacle of all hope and desires, the one beacon of good taste and decorum, all in one cosy little spot in the heart of Meanwood village!" Oxford English Dictionary defines Village as "a group of houses and associated buildings, larger than a hamlet and smaller than a town, situated in a rural area." But find yourself at Terminus and you'll ponder whether what makes the village really is the buildings, or actually, the rag-tag group of individuals who, despite all the odds, find love and community in the harsh world of 21st-century Britain. CCTV is in operation here.

Great atmosphere with a good ale selection. Especially like that host different independent food stalls from time to time.

Great afternoon at Meanwood brewery. Lots of suggested beers and good choice 👌

It's a great place for a bar, tucked away from the main road. Lovely place. However, the service is shockingly bad. Thee were typically 3-4 people behind the bar, just chatting away to each other, in no hurry to serve the constant 4-5 long queue of people. The staff seemed hungover or stoned. Wish they were more professional.

Awesome to have this local in Meanwood, and particularly like their pop up food to enjoy with a pint. Always a good atmosphere and even better when the weather's good to be able to sit outside and not even feel like you're in the centre of Meanwood

Yeah it's nice to support local, but it's a little out of my price range. If you're earning, you're gonna love it here

Very busy Saturday afternoon. A bit chilly even inside with the bifold doors open. The porter is excellent if you like a dark beer.

Extortionate prices. £6.30 for a pint of Pils that isn't even cold. Check the pic, no condensation on the glass.

Lovely laid back and relaxed bar, suitable for any age, kids, dogs or friend's

Fantastic bar. One of my favourite haunts

Great staff, amazing beer. A fantastic hidden gem of a place. Always made to feel welcome and given fantastic tips about which beer to go. If you find yourself in the area, you really should check them out.

Usually they have lovely service and lovely drinks but this one terrible experience has put me off coming back this pint smelt like wax and tasted awful when my friend confronted the staff they said it was half drank and they wouldn't replace it even with a different half absolutely appalling customer service from a fellow evan

really lovely coffee, staff are just as nice

Called in for coffee and babyccinos. Good service.

Went to have family drinks what a little diamond of a place this really good vibe and a fine selection of drinks for all

Great find in the middle of Meanwood. Really friendly service with a smile. Top quality beers and nice crowd.

Pop up kitchens and decent pints

My favourite place in Meanwood! Excellent selection of drinks, great atmosphere, friendly happy staff and all round good vibes

Had a gorgeous pint of Anoba Porter here. Brilliant bar. Would have loved to stay longer and tried some other beers!!!

Friendly tap room. Amazing choice of beers, and always fantastic food pop-ups on the weekends.

Cash is accepted by colleagues who then pay on their own phones/cards. Great service, but why should this be the way?

Lovely, quirky bar with great staff. Can't beat a Bavo on the terrace as the sun goes down! The chicken fingers are to die for.

WOW - update on previous review. The playlist today has totally changed the vibe to hip cool. Love it. Way better than the usual old dead vibe.

Favourite place in North Leeds. Great bar and staff and selection of beers which change weekly.

Great beer, excellent service, delicious food, what's not to like about this pub. Highly recommended

Great selection of beers and food service from a separate take out delivered to the bar is genius. The chairs weren't very comfortable but nice atmosphere, friendly staff and liked the hidden location too

Great bar in the center of Meanwood. Excellent range of craft beers from Meanwood Brewery and beyond.

Local bar and excellent beers - most brewed on-site.

They sell out of date beer and the manager tried to justify this instead of rectifying the situation.

5 stars for the actual bar and bar staff, however do check the best before date if you are buying cans as the one I had was 3 month out of date. Bar staff was professional about the situation but the manager present at the time provide silly excuse for why they were selling out of date cans. Please do better as everything else was outstanding and great place to drink

One of our favourite craft beer bars . Such a wonderful cosy place to enjoy a large selection of craft beers. Friendly staff who are a font of knowledge about the beers . Bring on the summer & we can sit outside

Excellent bar! good selection of beer, staff were very helpful. Would recommend.

Great beers and a deeeelish hot choc. Really nice place to sit and enjoy a few hours!

Nice pub, very pleasant atmosphere, music not too loud and you talk properly. Dog friendly which is also good. Would recommend.

Staff are great. Nice spaces, inside and out. And beautiful beer. Beer that interesting is not cheap.

This has to be my favourite Meanwood haunt for good ale and atmopshere. There's a large top seating area and a terraced area. Staff are knowledgeable and there was 14 beers on tap when I arrived.

Great venue and a good selection of beers

Fabulous taproom just a stone’s throw from the main road. Great beers, nice staff, and free tasters. Lovely atmosphere too. We will be back!

No real ale, but lots of interesting craft beers

Had lots of good experiences here. People bring their dogs. So if you like dogs- Have been given tasters for what they’re brewing and had good chat with the people who work there about the beer or are chats with people just having a pint too. Honestly, a really friendly atmosphere. Xx Oh good choice of beer too- thanks

Great place for a night out, cask ales, kegs and a good selection of wines and spirits. Also very fairly priced, can't go wrong, what you waiting for get yourselfs down there.

Excellent range of cask and keg on tap, most of it brewed right behind the bar. V good value 'happy hour' between 1500 and 1800. The are also fridges crammed full of a huge selection of craft and Belgian beer. Mrs B reports the cocktails are ace.

Aricebo message is one of the best beers I've had in years. Would recommend

Nice place with some really good beers. Lots of space.

A hidden gem of a bar just off the main road in the heart of Meanwood. Terminus is warm and friendly and they make great beer too! There’s always a big selection of guest ales, bottles and cans and the staff are knowledgable and friendly. Love this place.

Great atmosphere, amazing background music, games and beers. Nice views out the upstairs window. Outside seating as well. Hard to find a better pub 😍

Visited on a Weds evening. Friendly service, reasonable prices and a nice beer garden area to the front.

Excellent tap room. Dog friendly. Highly recommended. Wide range of takeaway cans, cask and tap ales

Only just found this gem nicely set back off main road. If the 8 or so own brews dont appeal then there is also a wide selection of guest and canned options.

Excellent friendly bar with a good range of ales and a large range of craft beer .Very informative manager who persuaded me that craft can be good. Must call again

Excellent beer and price especially happy hour. Pilgrim is the best pint I've had in years.

Quirky. Good bar. Indoor and outdoor seating. Hidden gem. Parking close by. Brews own beer.

Brilliant staff brilliant beers great owners the staff make everyone welcome congratulations 👏👍 for everything you do to make people happy

A pub with beer at a decent price for the area. Out door seating is heated but you risk secondary smokers or vaping but you can always go inside

Went here two weeks ago on Sunday afternoon. Just me and five men, but great atmosphere and from what I could see fab beers ( I was driving) But the young man obliged playing the tracks we asked for and was friendly and possibly patient. Would definitely go again.

Lovely beer and very friendly staff

I came here with a pal on a midweek evening. I'm familiar with the gym, but forget what, if anything was here before. It reminded me of inns I've been in in the Austrian Tyrol! It was very quiet when we visited, but we received a friendly welcome, and enjoyed our visit. There's certainly a great choice in beers, both on draught, and in the large fridges. Annoyingly, they don't take cash .

Lovely atmosphere, great selection of beers and great service.

Need to visit! Space outside and very cute inside! Beer beer beer!

Lovely little venue with a courtyard outside located off the main strip of meanwood. They have a fantastic range of beers on tap and in the fridge should you want to pop in for some takeaways. The staff are always lovely and approachable. Definitely worth as stop!

Great bar staff, great beers, Friendly locals, great night.

Tucked away, nice atmosphere touch expensive but understandable. Tables outside are very close if you wish to continue SD. Occasional smoking can be a put-off. Staff are great.

Best Pub in the whole of Leeds. Possibly the world.

Terminus is such a great place! We visit regularly and always enjoy it. The ales on offer are always spot on and the service is lovely too.

I must say, on an evening where England beat a Germany, the bar staff managed to provide an excellent experience and outstanding service. Gary and Kester went out of their way to make us feel welcomed as usual. Thank you for your hospitality!

Very pleasant experience thank you

Lovely atmosphere. Great service. Excellent range of high quality drinks. Lots of outdoor space. A wonderful local business to support. Highly recommend

Great place to relax and feel safe

Great beer and outside seating area

I really like the look of Terminus and they"ve done a great job of their outdoor space. But too many gripes also. 1) I politely took a beer back because it was cloudy (and tasteless) and the staff tried to convince me it was their sessional IPA, despite not initially knowing which one it was. Despite them apologising they insisted that's how it comes and charged me for another. Normally I wouldn't mind (too much) but I have twice been served bad beer here before. First time they agreed (it was obvious) and they changed it and second time I was unfortunately already quite drunk and it didn't really register til I'd drunk half of it. 2) They had a range of pale ales but, other than a very very sweet stout, nothing else on cask. A bit weird. 3) It was a quiet Sunday night and our party was the last off the main outdoor area. We weren't slow in leaving, but before we'd even got to the steps they'd turned the outdoor lights out. They realised the mistake and turned them back on. But really...it's just basic courtesy. Staff seemed to be doing a job, but without customer care. They also couldn't ever remember who had ordered what drink. One friend ordered a single coffee from the waiter and when returned with it he had no idea who it was for so just placed it on the end of the table nearest him.inattentive staff. Get the beer and service right and this place will hit the heights.

Best range of beers I've tried in Meanwood, wonderful staff and great ambience and aesthetics. Well done guys. Covid Update: During Lockdown they have completely revamped the bar, installed a new brewery and designed and built a new cover for the outside area for the comfort and enjoyment of their customers.

The atmosphere and range of drinks of terminus mixed with the amazing service/ roast from the hungry bear make for an incredibly relaxing day out

We were a table of four. The table was very small, very uneven table on a slope. The lats of the table were so uneven one pint feel over. There were no heaters. After a few rounds the tasty Blood Orange Sour we were drinking ran out. We'd already paid - which in itself was weird - so asked for something similar tasting. We were given a rhubarb drink that tasted nothing like the sour. In fact, it tasted like a cheap, aspartame-filled diet drink. I took them back and had two bar staff basically shouting at me. I had to tell them to calm down at least three times. I asked the manager to actually speak to me about it and he said he was too busy. Most of the staff were nice. The manager and a few others were dismissive and unpleasant. This bar has no love for customers. It's like a Cult of Beer. Having strange beers is their goal, and they're annoyed that customers come in and get in the way of their beer appreciation. We went around the corner to Alfred instead and received excellent service from their excellent staff. Sorry Terminus, you lost four customers last night. Well done.

These bros know how to work around a beer or two, plus govt legislation! Excellent selection of beers, slick service, attentive staff. Support your local boozer. You will not be disappointed. Roll on the indoors, Meanwood - we are very lucky.

A great little local bar. Ever changing beers. A real gem.

Good friendly service. Nice selection of beers. Reasonably priced. Well organised for covid. Area is pleasent many other bars abd cafes.

Love this bar. Always great vibes and ace drinks. Staff friendly.

Absolutely great service from door to table. Well done guys. See you again soon

Great outdoor space, meal from Hungry Bear with a beer from Terminus.. perfect

We had such a lovely evening here! All of the staff were very friendly, especially Jess who loves the sesh - top gal. Think she’s great. Can’t wait to come back !

Came here with my friends for our first drinks back and loved it! The beer and the cider is unreal (but strong) and the staff are all lovely, Dan in particular... can’t wait to be back next week😊

1 drink served in 2 hours. Spend your time somewhere else, total waste of time and sat around with empty drinks for well over an hour

Support local breweries. Good selection of craft and good seating upstairs

How sad that yet another small brewery are totally ignorant of many people being allergic to dogs. Unfortunately I had to leave and my family also have allergies and will not be able to visit. Also the dogs are often out of control and their owners oblivious. I think a dog free area needs implementation in many of these establishments.

Cool brewery bar, wide selection of beer on tap and in cans. Well worth a visit

Great cocktails, wine, beer, service. Local business. Lovely.

Very cool vibe and love the outside space

Terminus is my favourite bar in Meanwood. Good tunes, friendly team and awesome beers brewed next door.

Brilliant, really impressed, great atmosphere, staff were really funny.

As above. Best bar in Meanwoo with a great selection of beers. Staff really work hard with the current restrictions and table service. Dan is on it here! Attentive and intuitive in getting tables served. Joe and Cecelia are awesome too! Great work you guys!

Absolutely sterling, great bants, lovely people, good choice, especially bar man dan but should regrow the beard

Super friendly staff, great beer

Well this is my favourite pub right now (and I have experience with pubs). Great beers but the bar staff are what make the difference - amazing. Cecila is so cool! Funny happy (and cute) bar girl - it’s with worth a trip just to see her!
