The Chemic Tavern in Leeds

No food involved. I was one of a party of musicians, playing in the back room, which we do every week.

Nice place! I love the board games and the drinks are good

No good bur a great place for drinks and enjoying live spoken word and music

Not many people know this, but Hyde Park is quite a studenty area. However, this hidden gem welcomes students and laymen alike with open arms - and a decently priced pint! My wife (who is very hard work), found this hang after calling in before her morning jog with her girl friends and took me a few weeks later for our anniversary. I got her an Apple watch but it's OK.

I remember this Pub when l lived in Woodhouse, and on a Bank Holiday they had a games for the adults. One of them was as Yard of Ale. Not many could drink it all, but my Honarary Uncle did. Was fun and happy times. Not been in in a while but I do remember the staff where verh friendly and part of the community.

great local pub, i'm a regular at the monday pub quiz which is always a good time! staff are lovely and its dog friendly

Best pub in Leeds. Can bring your own food and everyone's friendly - proper English pub

Fantastic staff, atmosphere ad beer

Cosy interior with a nice selection of drinks. Their Thursday open mic is highly recommended!

Went for breakfast. Vegetarian and vegan option

Great pub with craft beer and live music.

A great spot for open mic nights

Decent pub. Decent pint. Friendly staff. Good music and environment. Nicely furnished. They have books and board games and comfy seats. They welcome dogs. Can't complain.

A really nice pub with a great lively environment. There is a lot of space and they have live music making it a fun environment. Drinks are all reasonably priced and there is a good selection.

Chemic till I die. Just wish they had more Scampi Fries

Popular music venue. Changes hands quite often. Presently reasonable beer prices. Good staff.

A proper pub without children running riot.

Music is the heart of this very traditional pub. Whether its Playing in a ukellee group or an Irish music group or an open mic night it's all there in a friendly atmosphere. I didn't try the food btw.

Love the chemic, so blessed to have such a cozy, warm environment as my local. The open mics are the best ❤️

Was there for Fruity Dog Friday comedy night which was fantastic. Staff were excellent, service was great and a lovely venue.

The Chemic has long been one of my favourite pubs. It's small, intimate, the epitome of an English 'local'. The cask beer is always excellently kept and there is always a local craft beer on keg for hopheads. Having moved away from the area 10 years ago, I am no longer as regular a customer as I once was, but I found the place unscathed by a change of management and as cosy and welcoming as ever. The toilets are 'basic' but clean, customers entertain themselves with traditional pub games and there are weekly folk music sessions in the public bar. Gorgeous.

There was fantastic jazz music (8-10pm). Nice local pub with lovely bars. The staff was so helpful and friendly! We had great time!

Great pub, not a "student" type pub which is the norm for the area, but students are very welcome. Something for everyone here and is dog-friendly too. Great selection of beers and sprits, and you can bring in fish 'n' chips from next door (Arkwrights) varying types of music on most nights, look at their website for more info.

Great place for live Irish music on a Wednesday night. Beer isn't bad either 😉 Just been to the Tbursday night open mic. What a cracker.

Deuce Katz are my favourite band with Fi Gregg as top singer.

Friendly simple local. No food sold but get some chips from round the corner n enjoy at will! Some lovely pints and friendly locals.

Lovely little local boozer. Went for comedy night (first Friday of each month). Had such a laugh. Great quality pints and sensible prices. Staff were lovely too. They don't do food but let you order takeaways or bring food in. A Great place.

Lovely local pub with character and good beers. Real community feel to it, with good folksy vibes. Mixed crowd too, which makes it all the better! Friendly regulars and always love meeting four legged visitors 🐕 Always try and pay a visit every few weeks as a Hyde Park resident 🖤🍻

Love the vibes and gigs they do. Every friendly and blissful vibe.

Loverly little pub with a great choice of beers.

Lovely old boozer with loads of character. Staff are always really welcoming too.

It’s a decent well intentioned boozer but the young lad behind the bar has a very slapdash attitude to pulling a pint.And as we all know beer it ain’t cheap

Friendly and cheerful even on a quiet afternoon. Good range of choice for me as a driver - not just lemonade! Enjoyed 0% alcohol Peroni

Great selection of ales and friendly atmosphere.

Love this place! I'm a local and it's my first choice for a pub. Both staff and customers are lovely. 5/5 would definitely recommend.

Lovely little pub, angry cat, nice bar staff

Proper locals pub with friendly atmosphere and good beer on tap. Bit trendier than it used to be but still a good crowd!

It's a great pub with lots going on and fish and chips next door you can bring into the pub to eat

Brilliantly friendly local pub.

Lovely pub with a classic pub interior, good selection of beer and cider and awesome snacks. Staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the Chemic always feels bustling with interesting people!

Best pint of landlord around. Worth visiting Leeds for.

Love this pub, very communal and cosy, drinks are fairly priced and theres live music some nights! Nala the pub cat also makes an appearance too 😄

Great pub, good beer and atmosphere.

Great open mic night on a Thursday

Nicest open mic in town! Everyone's so nice and supportive 🤗

Good choice of draft beers. Great to be able to bring in a takeaway. Friendly staff.

Lovely local pub, great pub quiz on a Monday

A lovely hidden gem of a pub. A traditional pub hidden behind a stand of trees. Several small bars with three cask ales the two sampled were in great condition and well served by friendly staff. We visited Friday night which was without its regular music. Friendly locals. Must return.

Good beers friendly bar staff great music night Get yourself down there

Nice local pub, but they don't do food. You need to remember getting something from the chippy next door before they close.

Always friendly staff and good atmosphere - brilliant music pub too!

Love the chemic. Dog friendly. Nice beer. My children love playing outside.

Quite simply, the best pub in Leeds. It's warm, safe, cosy, happy, quintessentially pubbish. Wooden everything. Random board games on tap. You come in for one drink and three hours later you're grinning as you watch some old boys play fiddles under a ceiling that's about 5 feet high. If you want a quiet drink and some time to yourself you can have it. If you want a random but exciting conversation with a stranger about Martian conspiracy theories you can also find this here. Music, quizzes, bringing down the government, COMMUNITY. People get together at the Chemic and things just happen!

Great traditional public house. Fine selection of draught beer and cider. Does not serve food but if you ask you may bring in food from the many establishments around the area.

Usually a steady boozer but stopped serving an hour early on St Patrick’s day

To feel music is what i discovered at Chemic. Best place for music and drinks.

Great Place to spend a New Years eve! In pub DJ had the best tunes and the ladies behind the bar were brilliant!

Hasn't changed since my student years which are so very long ago now. Thay's a compliment. Very cosy and casual with great beers on tap. Lovely traditional pub x

Brilliant pub - friendly and cosy

Warm, friendly, beer kept well and it's round the corner. A proper local!

Best pub. Best people. Best beer.

One of my local pubs with quirky old school charm, there is an ever changing range of guest beers, lagers and ciders as well as a really good standard choice. The guiness was also good as being such a warm day! Just a note there is no food served here but you are more than welcome to bring food in from the fish and chip shop next door.

Friendly staff, loads of seating inside and out and a resident cat with its own ale named after it !

Amazing authentic food and friendly staff, brilliant coffee too.

Great place, really enjoyed the comedy

The pubs nice, with nice staff, but confusion over the service, masks and website drinks ordering put me off, we sat there for 10 minutes confused over how to even get served, there appeared to be only one member of staff serving but it's a nice pub

Only service available is outside

Lovely local pub, good brews and friendly staff

Very pleasant and professional staff

Cosy, sweet experience in the subrubs of the city

As good as it always has been! Friendly good vibes and the Timmy Taylors landlord was excellent..

Friendly staff, lovely live music, but wish there's was outdoor heating or umbrellas.

Was visiting family and walking the dog in the rain - was given a very warm wecome will be calling again soon we hope P & L

The staff are absolutely lovely and the weekly pub quiz Mondays is amazing xx absolutely love the alcoholic ginger beer as well 👌

Such a lovely atmosphere and staff were so nice and friendly

It's a friendly welcoming pub with a sister & brother run service. It's old fashioned inside & very clean. It's a small pub but does have music & quiz nights. It has no TVs but always background music..

I was walking through the East End of London last week, and noticing the near total disappearance of the back street boozer that still existed in my 1980s youth. The Chemic reminds me of that particular golden era of pubs; indeed it was my local for a few years back then when I lived in Woodhouse. Don't take its existence for granted; use it! You will find that it is a wonderful thing.

Lovely place; Feel really safe when you visit as they're currently spot on with all the track and trace stuff. But let's hope it gets back to normal soon... x

We're here more for the company than anything else. Very cosy pub, and the good thing about it is that you can eat your fish and chips from next door or get a pizza. Not a huge range of beers, but they're usually of decent quality, and in very good condition (cask marque). Anna and Kit are sweet.

Great night at the Chemic Tavern. The Hot tin roof comedy show was really entertaining

One of the nicest pubs in Leeds.

Great place, great stuff. Place for the events.

We went for the Star Trek quiz and has a fab time. Could do with a bit of a spring clean but all in all a good traditional pub.

Lovely atmosphere, usually a group of people playing music. No food served but right next to a chippy and you can bring food inside to eat. 5/5

Brilliant local pub. Great for any occasion as full of board games and welcoming staff that make you feel like a local. :))

More like a community hub than a bar, games to play, soft drinks available, friendly landlady and atmosphere.👍

Genuinely such a lovely warm welcome from the team at The Chemic Tavern on their Open mic night last night! The drinks are cheap, the atmosphere is cosy and has proper Yorkshire pub vibes! Highly recommend and I'll deffo be returning!

Perfect pub on a cold winter day. It's cosy, warm and always welcoming. Great events and plenty of outside seating as well

Great pub. Both the staff and regulars make you feel very welcome and the beer is top notch!

Friendly pub, full of lovely people ❤️

Lovely pub, lovely staff, lovely drinks, lovely crisps

Friendly real ale pub where you can bring in your dog, play a board game, eat fish and chips from next door or watch live music. Good all round local pub.

Friendly and great selection of beers

Friendly pubs, lovely new landlords, not alot of pubs left like this in UK

Friendly and cosy pub. Proper cask beer. Has random folk musicians and a wall of board games.

Good drinking establishment, would recommend!

Great pub and friendly staff. They'll even let you bring fish and chips in from the place next door

Went back in time and ate our Fish and chips, which we had bought next door, with good beer in a cosy environment! Highly recommendable!

Nice friendly place good for a visit .

I love this pub. It's friendly and they have a wide selection of interesting drinks. They let you bring food from the nearby fish and chip shop or other take away places in as they don't do meals. Tables outside, plenty of parking. An old fashioned proper pub.
