Now this is a pub. Superbly and tastefully restored. Fantastic selection of Thornbridge beers on cask and draft. Great staff, great location and an all round gem!

One of my favourite bars in Leeds even though the service is iffy. Some of the staff seem to look through you and go off and serve someone else. Maybe I'm invisible? It's a shame really as everything else about the place is excellent. I haven't eaten there.

I have always loved the Banker's Cat bar. It is one of the fanciest bars in Leeds. It serves a range of different beers, rums, whiskeys, liquors and much more. This bar has never disappointed me. As it always has an atmosphere, you don't need bookings and it gives a fancy experience as if you are in a movie scene of a traditional English bar. The staff are polite, creative and can give suggestions and advice in what is best to try! Therefore can highly recommend this venue.

Wonderful pub near Leeds railway station. Excellent range of beers. I had the Thornbridge bitter which I'd highly recommend. The internal design/decor of the pub is brilliant too.

Not here for food, but my boss had come down from Edinburgh for my performance review. Of course, I had to help him recover from listening to how amazing I am with a pint 😄 I usually come into this place earlier in the day so it was lovely to see it busy with office types relaxing and chatting. Always an excellent range of ales here, with one of the finest Thornbridge offerings, Jaipur!!! These people know what a good range needs to contain, with everything from pale, through bitter, to stout - all on cask. If you're looking for a heavy imperial stout, you're out of luck unless there's some cans I haven't spotted, but that's fine. Staff are always lovely and look after you. The front has large windows which makes it nice and light, and the interior has been done in a lovely wood panelled style, with open tables on one side and booths on the other. There are, however, two serious points we need to address. 1. I am concerned about the suitability of this place in the zombie apocalypse. Those large windows will be bugger to defend as there aren't enough tables. 2. The missing apostrophe, which results in the unofficial name of 'the bankers (sic) cat'. Yes, my friends and I are pedants!

Fabulous bank converted into a bar. Owned by the Thornbridge brewery. I always visit here when in Leeds. The real ales are always in great condition. I often wonder why the full Thornbridge range isn't on offer?? Some Thornbridge ales are more difficult to track down,so if they are all available, it would be great!!

There are so few decent ‘pubs’ in Leeds, what with ‘street food’ and ‘craft’ being the norm for new places. This venue is not now new, having been here a while now. The team have changed a little bit, particularly recently, but they still do the same great job keeping up with things and Marcus, the manager, is always happy and smiling. This is my local, I haven’t reviewed it in a while, but I still drop in several times a week and still thoroughly enjoy every visit. Christmas time is coming so I imagine it will be mad busy for a while but I’ll try and squeeze in for a pint of I can. I highly recommend it for a decent drink in a decent pub.

Bought 2 glasses of wine & 2 halves of beer & charged £33.75! Rang to complain, very dismissive, told me the wine was £14.75 a glass & we should have checked the menu. Just asked for a Cabernet Sauvignon, never told the price, machine pointed at me so I couldn't see the amount on the screen. Lessons learned - always ask the price, check the amount on the screen & don't go near the Bankers Cat.

There were plenty of hand pumps on from mainly thornbridge brewery. The 2 beers i had were superb. The staff were well organised, and there was a great atmospheric presence inside this full pub. People in here were a after work tea time drinkers and people on a friday night out. Well done, whoever does day to day running of this pub. You are doing lots of things good

A banging place for a drink but omg there are a few cringey things about the decor. The stained glass thats says "passions innovatione cognitio" is just a Latin version of live laugh love. None of the team know how to pour a cask ale at all. No part pour and settle. They do a full pour all they way. They must be wasting a third of every cask barrel they have. The beers are good quality but the people here are not trained on how to pour or look after them. Loads of potential but don't seem to have any passion, despite what the stained glass tells you. Pies weren't great either. Otherwise absolutely banging boozer so 5 stars
