The Decanter in Leeds

Really lovely atmosphere and staff which is really important to me! Had a bottle of house wine and cheese/meat platter that was excellent quality and value for money. Highly recommend.

Visited yesterday evening, the manager quickly sorted us a table for 4 as we hadn't reserved one. Great atmosphere and excellent bottles of wine. Will definitely return to this gem.

Excellent initial impression for service. However, we were asked on numerous occasions if we needed any more drinks, even though our drinks weren't finished. We may have taken longer than others to finish our drinks, but we were having an overdue catch up with friends.

Brilliant bar in Leeds, stumbled across it on our mates birthday and they accommodated 25 of us for drinks, staff are really helpful and friendly, drinks are lovely, atmosphere is spot on cheers all

Cosy, quick with the card machine

I didn’t have any food whilst here, but I did have a glass of wine - I know rating a place for a glass of wine, what’s all that about? But I was super impressed by the knowledge of the different wines that the bar tender, Joe, had as well as an incredibly helpful attitude that makes all the difference between a drink anywhere and a drink here! Totally recommend - even if it is just for a cheeky glass of white on a Thursday afternoon whilst on holiday!

Nice little bar with friendly bar and door staff

Spur of the moment decision to call in at one of our favourite places. The Decanter never disappoints. Was served by Adi and he presented us with the most delicious cheese platter. The Malbec here is always en pointe…even the glasses are the correct temperature. One word. Fabulous.

Great little bar. Really good atmosphere

Turned up for a wine tasting event for which I paid out £70 as birthday present for hubby. Place was in darkness, with a big chain on the door. Awaiting refund from Eventbrite but had no explanation or apology.

Great drinks. Looked after by Joe who is massively knowledgeable and made incredible recommendations

We had a bottomless brunch to celebrate my birthday. Joe the waiter was such a gentleman and made sure we were looked after with great service, excellent drinks and amazing charcuterie and cheese platters. Real value for money!

Lovely bar with a nice chilled atmosphere and lovely attentive staff... Will definately stop here again for a drink in the future...

nice bar good atmosphere and well made cocktails. price a little high

Excellent service and great wines, lovely meat and cheese board. Highly recommend Wednesdays!

A very warm and friendly place with really helpful staff and a great selection of wines. Well done Team Decanter, we'll be back!

One of my favourite bars to go in Leeds city centre. I think this is wine bar but, somehow, Madri beer here is super good and fresh. Usually very calm atmosphere, so that perfect place to have conversation. The staffs are always kind too.

I was a guest at an event and only drank water, so I can't really comment on the food or service. Seems a pleasant enough bar: quite small and rather warm when it got busy.

I only pop in here for a pint or two but I have to say, the customer service and the warm welcome are excellent. Well done guys, some other bars could learn a lot from you.

Loved the cheese and charcuterie board. Will go back. 👍 to doorman as well. V thoughtful for lady with challenged mobility.

Very nice bar. A well organised wine list, which should have something for all tastes.

We go to the decanter very frequently. Usually it’s a really inviting wine bar with a lovely atmosphere and helpful members of staff and we bring lots of family and friends here when they’re visiting Leeds. On a number of occasions now myself and my husband and our friends have been treated really disrespectfully by mainly the bouncers for no reason what so ever which has left a bitter taste in our mouths - this usually occurs when the bar is busy but during the week outside of peak times we have never had an issue. We appreciate that it’s not the bar staff at all, It’s mainly the bouncers. But it’s made us second think about the places that we would like to visit for an enjoyable glass of wine. Twice now we have been in and had confrontation with no cause ie sitting in a table that was booked (and being allowed to by bar staff) to be only threatened with being kicked out when the table turned up 15 mins early. We obviously really enjoy visiting the decanter but being told ‘if I want to kick you out of here then I will’ is not quite the atmosphere we would expect from a nice wine bar.

Nice place. Been here twice for networking events and a few drinks.

Wanted somewhere quiet to sit and read on a Sunday afternoon, with a decent glass of wine in hand. Decanter fitted the bill admirably, with comfortable seating, unobtrusive music and a good wine selection.

Nice environment and friendly stuff...

Intimate little bar near Greek Street. Pricey drinks but has a nice feel to the place so worth dropping in for 1 or 2.

Gorgeous place and the staff are well nice.

Really like this pub nearly walked passed it glad I didn't

Great Old-fashioned 👍 Some large cubes would be great rather than small ones that water down your drink too quickly.

A really good quality bar and the staff are very welcome

Cute wine bar within walking distance of other bars and restaurants. Intriguing wine list and they offer tastings too. Try it if you fancy something a little different in your glass 🍷

Great selection of cocktails and gins. Good selection of beers to. Staff were fantastic and had a nice vibe

I really enjoyed my time here, lovely owner Alex, friendly and good company

Love the decanter - good wine good service not too busy great place for a good conversation

Nice range of IPAs. Central location not too busy. Toilets down a flight of stairs, unfortunately covered in vomit and it was only early doors. Ewww

The best rose wine we have ever tasted. Thank you

Absolutely love this bar! The service is always great and the cosy atmosphere is amazing, thank you

Nice little bar, it's the first time we've been here but won't be the last time

Get place, friendly staff ....

Always pleasant service and a nice bar

Amazing place great atmosphere. Staff so kind we l didn’t even ask and they offered a table as one of our group had a stick.Fantastic service will definitely be returning.

Quality wine bar lots of choice good beer really helpful friendly staff enjoyed my time at this bar 👌

The staff are fantastic, Luke is a wonderful barman, going out of his way to make customers felt welcome! Come here, it's chuffing great.

Great little bar hidden away on Park Row, perfect for a small gathering, friendly staff and nice pricing

Came for one drink with my partner tonight, great atmosphere. Bar tender was very friendly and gave us some good wine! Definitely coming back again soon

Great bar, really good table service.

Excellent food and drinks. Staff were lovely and kept the drinks flowing

Smart place, nice beer. A bit more expensive but you get table service!

This is one of my favourite bars in town. Never disappoints in terms of the variety of drinks available and as always the staff were great. This is a must go place.

Just happened to pop in while passing and while we were hoping for a seat outside there was none spare so we chilled out inside. Fantastic table service and it was quick. While we were inside, one of the bouncers came over and informed us that a table had become free outside and if we would like it (he must've heard us talking on the way in). The staff were excellent when we accidentally knocked a drink over. Great little place that I wouldn't have really thought to go in but will probably now go again.

Great atmosphere, great staff team

Great bar, quality drinks & really friendly + knowledgeable staff who gave great advice

Beautiful little gem, friendly and knowledged staff provides great service and a very warm welcoming atmosphere. Always a pleasure to come back!

Nice place, but lacks the charm of wino. Also several people at the bar waiting to be served for the 25 mins before the discount on House wine ended all didn't manage to get it as they won't ring the charge through after the hour. This didn't affect us directly but the complaints from others were very noticeable.

Had a trial shift here and was promised payment beforehand - was offered the job (was even mentioned by Jamie Upton, a previous reviewer) but refused as I was offered a pay rise from current role - have since been ignored when asking about agreed payment from the Decanter. Would avoid this bar, obviously run by unscrupulous people, was evidently correct in refusing their offer

Great place for a catch-up with friends after work, we came in for a drink but the service was so lovely we ended staying for a few more. Will be coming back for the meat and cheese boards.

First time I’ve been here, from Brighton, London and you know what this little legend did Above & Beyond tonight and then told me it’s his first night. Give this man a job now - TOM!!!!!! I love him and if his not, not back pfft

Lovely bar, don't like the music.

Had a wonderful time. The bartender really took care of me. I think his name was Sam? Lovely vibe and looking forward to coming back

Excellent, chilled bar to escape the busyness of the other bars on Greek Street. This is where adults come to get their adult drink on.

Great staff and very knowledgeable.

Nice pub, great service, very attentive came down to our table for several chats. Had 3 different wines, got an in depth description with each one & with a very nice cheese board 👍👍

First time in and loved it! Great atmosphere and service, and the cocktails were fab. Will be back

Good bar, great expresso martini 😀

Love visiting The Decanter. Nice and clean. Staff are friendly and attentive. Great choice of wine/Beers etc..

Lovely atmosphere and helpful and knowledgeable staff. A fab ending to a great night out in Leeds.

Lovely place for a quiet drink on a Sunday afternoon. Great service. Will be back.

Spent a good few hours in here, cosy place with great drinks

Love this place, our fave little bar in Leeds. Running a reduced drinks menu but the wine is always lovely. Great atmosphere

Had lovely time here served by Sam and team. Cocktail, prosecco and surprisingly big platters. Definitely coming back here again.

Inside and outdoor seating. Like a gentleman's club inside. Good choice of drinks

An oasis of calm near to the noise and chaos of Greek Street. The cocktails here are excellent, and if you can snag yourself a table in the corner towards the back then you can easily spend a whole evening in here - time really does fly. Highly recommended.

Great wine bar, exceptional service.

My favourite place for a glass of wine

Nice drinks, good service but lost a star because of the attitude of person, presumably the manager, when wanting the table back. No need to be rude and apparently it doesn't matter how much you spend. We were up to £80 at that point and it may have been better to try to find space and encourage us to stay.

Great place for first drinks out, after lockdown :) the waitress and bar man were fab and made the evening

Excellent service and some beautifully prepared drinks. First visit, but we'll definitely be back again soon. Recommended!

A fantastic little venue with an amazing selection of drinks, there's plenty of cocktails, wine and even spirits to choose from and if you do fancy something not on the menu you only need to ask!

Great bar. Friendly, a top spot in Leeds city centre for a relaxing drink

Lovely bar, friendly service, laid back but nice

Not the biggest bar in the world but nice and cosy. Love it 😊

Nice little find good choice of wines, music not too loud.

Really nice whiskey and wine selection. Fairly small so not good in large groups.

Often visit this bar when we are in Leeds. Can never tell if it is going to be quiet or absolutely cram packed full! Comfy surroundings, good range of drinks and the service is fantastic, often drinks orders taken at your table and brought to your table - not many places offer this service and the staff are friendly and all look happy to be there.

Lovely wine bar. Not many tables but seats probably around 30 people. Very extensive wine list and the staff were friendly. £6+ a glass of wine, also offers meat and cheese platters.

Great little find. Good service

Loads of different drinks love it on a sunday

Lovely staff, nice environment and tasty wines! Very mellow vibes 👌

Nice bar in central Leeds.Nice atmosphere

Love this place, it's like a local in the centre of Leeds!!

Brilliant bar! Recommended for a nice atmosphere and great staff

Great bar and atmosphere but a sub-par negroni

Friendly staff, excellent gin collection.

Wine and cheese on Wednesday was good value

Cosy, with music at reasonable volume

Hidden gem of a bar, it has been here for a number of years and I only found it this week. Friendly staff and good selection of drinks available. They also have a really great selection of Yorkshire tapas.

The girl serving was rude to everyone who pretty much everyone who entered the bar tonight. She served everyone with a grimace and everyone got the feeling she hates any sort of custom. The last time it was the exactly the same even for one after-work drink. Manager's should employ more friendly staff otherwise I guarantee it'll be closed down in 6-9 months.

I liked the atmosphere of the place, and the drinks were nice. A little bit pricey though.

Friendly staff, great drinks, it's a little expensive

Very nice Bar nice location. Average prices Peanuts extortionate at £2.95 for a small bowl.
