The Griffin in Leeds

Delicious food!! Beautiful environment with tables of every size and comfort design, very large so provides many different gathering spaces for partying groups as well as small cozy rendezvous! Highly recommended!👍

It was mobbed with Leeds fans watching Burnley v Sheffield United, fantastic atmosphere, staff were under pressure, they did the best they could under the circumstances.

Came here for brunch which was really good, service was fast and staff were accommodative for my friend who has some dietary restrictions. we both got Katsu chicken burgers which Id highly recommend, cocktails good too. While in the Pub however, we noticed a sign advertising F1, so naturally we came back a little before the race and no TV’s had the race, we asked if it could possibly be played on a tv that nobody was really watching but were told people were watching it so had to wonder off elsewhere which was disappointing.

Good food just they don't tell you that you must download their app to be able to place a order!

What an amazing place so friendly and helpful we was in Leeds visiting and the staff really helped us navigate our way around the food was amazing also ate here twice in our stay and both times it was great.

Was looking for somewhere to get a good Sunday lunch and relax and the griffin bar was just right. Thay have 3 or 4 Sunday lunch specials beef, chicken, pork, ect and a bar menu. Just ordered at the bar and pay for food and drinks for your table didn't see a number but bar man knew. Food could have been a bit warmer, but that's me. All and all good lunch and cheep enough.

The food and the staff was lovely

Great pub, great staff, great food, spotlessly clean with great food including vegan options, tasty meat options,pies , perfect venue for a party

Looks a nice places to go too good for sports T. V

Perfect pub for parties, great space with personalised music playlist. The manager was really helpful in helping coordinate a 30th birthday party. All party goers commented on how nice the food was, also Vegan options available. Staff helpful and venue spotlessly clean.

Such a brilliant lively pub! The live music is amazing! Will be back again soon

Staff are so welcoming even on a busy weekend shift!

Bloody expensive go to spoons a little bit cheaper in train station

Bar staff are outstanding here. We visited really late last night (it was a Sunday evening) and the two female bar staff were absolutely brilliant. The place was packed with drunken revellers (we were two of them) and they were absolutely brilliant. Polite, friendly, and still had a laugh with us even though it was late and they had undoubtedly been rushed off their feet all shift. It's so nice to go in a city centre "chain" pub with the feel of a local pub. Thank you

Really nice pub food, great selection of drinks, especially the beer range. Can get very busy and noisy though at times. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Gran zona en el centro de la ciudad. Limpio y la comida era muy bueno como un compañero de trabajo rey verde es agradable ir a ver otros pubs y cómo funcionan. ¡Cuando vuelva a Leeds estaré seguro de volver!

Best place to get rid of your hangover before you get on a train to Hull. So long as you can endure the shouting baboons on the next table and the fact the kitchen has no tomato for your avocado on toast you'll be fine.

Le di una mala crítica a este pub el año pasado, se lo merecía ya que el servicio era descuidado y el lugar sucio, mesas, suelo, baños. Me di cuenta de que poco después se cerró por una renovación... Llamé para una pinta rápida ayer para comprobarlo y estaba bien, difícil de juzgar por una bebida y no hay comida, pero parecía que estaba bien, las mesas limpias, el piso limpio y los baños estaban bien. Una gran mejora en mi última visita.

Had a great night in the Griffin the other day, was served by a young lad called Joe who was very nice.

El grupo de los 9 , que luchaba por encontrar un lugar donde alojar a un grupo tan numeroso un domingo por la mañana, se topó con el Griffin. Nos dio todo lo necesario desde un desayuno inglés completo, con tomates en la vid, huevos como quieras, y rebanadas de tostadas. No podía fallar y servía con una sonrisa agradable también.

Bit slow on the service but I think that was just bad luck upon arrival. Decent range of beers, lots of nice seating areas.

Looks great after refurbishment. Friendly staff, gopd range of beers etc. Food always good

Got chatting to Brandon behind the bar, lovely bloke

Attended at 2PM on Sunday 02/02 and was the worst service and food I’ve had in Leeds. Four of us placed orders through the app for a Sunday roast, and 50 minutes later, only two of us had received our food. By the time the two individuals had finished their food, the other two meals had still not arrived, and it had been 1hr 10 minutes since ordering at this point (wasn’t even busy). We asked where the other meals were, they said there had been a confusion in the kitchen and that they will start cooking them now, meaning they will be a further 10 minutes. We requested and received a refund for the meals and then the other two still didn’t turn up 1hr 30 minutes later. Coming from a hospitality background ourselves, we made a point to say to the servers “Im really sorry about this. I understand it’s not your fault…” When we went to leave (STILL WITHOUT THE OTHER TWO MEALS) a young, stocky girl with brown hair who was working behind the bar was extremely rude and immature, staring at us when we were leaving and sarcastically shouting bye as we headed out the door😂😂😂 Worst pub in Leeds, worst service in Leeds, overall an absolute sh** hole and waste of our time👍🏻👍🏻

Okay. Not much atmosphere but quite a few people in the pub Lots of TV screens if that is your thing Prices £12:40 for an GK IPA and a white wine (small) was a bit steep I thought More like London prices Staff were speaking to kitchen on their head set and each other while serving so little customer feedback Didn’t try the food so no rating given Hence just an okay rating. There’s plenty of competition with more atmosphere and keener prices

Had an amazing time at the Griffin, atmosphere was unreal, but the true star of the show was Brandon. From the moment we walked in he was friendly and welcoming: and he gave me perfect head with my pint, greatest pour I’ve ever seen. Will definitely be coming again

Went in on a busy Leeds game, service was superb. A young lad working in the other bar (not the main room bar) let us stay at our table until he finished cleaning the room in the evening, then we had to move to the main pub area. Food decent, Katsu burger very nice, drinks are a bit expensive but that's Leeds city centre now.

top sevice by a lovely boy, chair always has a bright smile on his face.

The Sunday lunch leaves much to be desired in my opinion, i would rather have a cheap microwave one than that again.

We ordered the roast 6 people.. 2 roast half chicken. On the menu with mash & stuffing. None on the plate. Had to order a roast beef dinner without the beef as they didn't understand a plate of potatoes & veg for a vegetarian. Veg came out cold had to send it back.But charged me for a beef dinner. Veg (cabbage & carrots) where under cooked. Yorshire puddings were over cooked.

The team here are super helpful, the renovations are absolutely stunning, and it’s just a fantastic atmosphere. 10/10

Had the best night here with my friends. The pub looks amazing after it’s refurb. We had a lovely time and the food was gorgeous!!

Yeah sound like. Great pub what more is there to say. Maybe you gravitate towards rubbish pubs and that’s your bag but this one is sound as a pound

Went here for a few drinks on a Saturday night with a group of friends. Really nice vibe as they had live music playing. I felt very safe and comfortable due to the presence of the two doormen who were very polite and held open the doors for us. Lovely vast selection of drinks on draught and premium liquors.

Great drinks, great food. Had a bite to eat and decided to stay for a few drinks. They have a fantastic selection on draught and the staff behind the bar were all amazing - exceeded my expectations. Particular thanks to Lizzie, she was great.

Awesome Pub! Best in Leeds especially a Friday Night - Whole team we’re super friendly and professional and the drinks were unreal - My server Joe was a star ⭐️

Rough and ready before footy. This was posted 7 years ago , I'm told by friends that it's turned into a decent pub/bar serving quality food and a great atmosphere, so I'll be popping in before the match for a few beers.

staff friendly and food was tasty. enjoyed a tasty pie and chips with gravy. plus blue light card discount. screens showing sport, close to Leeds station, big pub, quite on a Tuesday.

All in all a brilliant two days in leeds and definitely included in that was the Saturday night and Sunday dinner experience in the griffin thsnk you

Excellent Breakfast and Service, 5 Star really!!! and excellent value for money!!!

First time visiting and eating. The place is great! We will definitely be back !

Great city centre pub. Lovely friendly staff. Good wine list. Food - the pie and mash were great. The garden peas were absolutely revolting. I think the chef needs to learn how to cook peas. They were inedible.

Slightly pricey and not enough bar staff when busy

Very nice pub but the lady behind the bar has a voice like a foghorn.

Didn't have any of the first three pints I tried to order on. Barman didn't sparkle either. Typical city centre brewery owned pub.

Flying visit but would pop in again and stay longer.

Everything was perfect! We'll be back!

Such a lovely city centre pub, staff super friendly and helpful! Food is delicious!

Such an amazing pub! It’s so much bigger on the inside! The staff were super friendly and helpful too! The food was super as well! I will definitely be back again soon to try out more of the menu!

Great welcoming bar. The manager did an amazing job dealing with not one but two unruly customers sensibly and calmly. Very impressive.

Loved the food in the small plates selection. Did the "tapas" option and wasn't disappointed. Karaage chicken was DELICIOUS! Nice selection on draught with really friendly staff

Cool sports bar with really nice atmosphere

Favourite city centre pub for a decent pi t and pub grub at reasonable prices. Staff always fabulous to deal with

Great central Leeds pub with a fine selection of ales and a good atmosphere.

Recently refurbished, a great place to watch live sports, 10 percent discount on selected drinks with the sports app and plenty of screens to watch your favourite sport. A bit quiet on Boxing Day sadly

Best pub EVER love the family suite xxx

This place keeps getting bigger! It’s like a tardis! Very relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff and centrally located, perfect for dropping in after shopping. Will visit again 😊

Jamie was awesome .. looked after us completely. Nothing was too much and he made sure we had a fab evening. Will definitely be back.

We booked the Griffin last minute for our Christmas party as we had been let down by Katie O'Briens on Greek Street. We booked one of their private hire areas on a busy Saturday night in December. Despite this they were attentive to our party at all times, responding quickly to requests such as turning on the air conditioning. They sent servers round with a card machine so we didn't have to queue at the bar. We order the gold package buffet and every aspect of it was delicious and there was plenty of food for all. Brilliant night and service. Thanks all at the Griffin.

Turkey and ham pie was delicious. The staff helpful and pub very clean. Came back later in the day fr a drink when it was very busy. Staff still very attentive.

Just had our Christmas Meal, 24 booked in, the venue and atmosphere was excellent, the staff were professional, helpful and friendly, both food and service was good. Everyone commented on how enjoyable the staff had made the meal.

We had our work Xmas do here, all of the staff were fab but special mention has to go to Jamie who was so friendly and a great representative for the pub!

Had our works do here on Thursday, all the staff were fab but Jamie was amazing, thankyou all 🎄 Merry Xmas

Nice grub nice people nice place

Very friendly staff that are well informed. Meal was excellent- best steak and ale pie in Leeds!

Went here for breakfast on a trip to Leeds. We had the full breakfast which was delicious, but far too much, should of ordered one between us and kept the cost down as was pricey.

Llamamos al grifo el domingo temprano por la noche para una bebida y algo de comer. El personal del bar era muy educado y había un ambiente agradable. La comida que tuvimos era muy agradable y su Amstel lager era bueno también.

Superb Sunday lunch, and the cherry amaretto semifreddo was delicious. Staff were all very polite and helpful. Will be back here again!

Rubbish avoid like the plague! Visit during a Christmas shopping trip and waited 2 hours for food. With no warning about long wait. Very frustrating will definitely not be revisiting and will be advertising anyone else not to either.

Nice pub near the city centre. Clean and nice decor. Food is OK, usual Greene King. Staff were excellent. Was less busy than a nearby competitor.

Was a quiz night and was a decent atmosphere. It was a cold snowy day so fairly quiet.

Great pub and lovely service from Lizzy! Enjoy the food also, had breakfast here on two mornings and was delicious!

One of the best pubs I’ve been to! Jasmine was amazing! Will definitely visit again

Favourite place in town! Jasmine was lovely!

Atmosphere great, food lovely although not halal, served by madi she was class, what an individual BOOM!

Went for a pint with my friends and had a bowl of chips very good portion the lovely girl maddie behind the bar pours a very good Guinness and was really sweet

Awesome food, amazing environment, LIZZY with a larger than life smile with amazing services 10/10

A faceless corporate drinking warehouse with no atmosphere. There are literally hundreds of better pubs within a short walk

Great pub, great atmosphere and even better staff.

First time at this pub, quite a big pub. No real ciders on unfortunately, pretty good pub though. This pub has the fastest free wifi I’ve ever seen in a pub 88Mbps down/94Mbps up!

Decent pub, first time I've been in for a long time and it's been decorated nicely, good choice of drinks and plenty of comfortable seating.

Hermosas decoraciones navideñas para nunca ealry. Personal encantador, gran servicio nada que quejarse. Increíble habitación trasera agradable y bastante para parejas.

Best Pub in Leeds City Center. The refurbishment to the inside is amazing and the food and drinks are delicious. Highly recommend!

Was my first time in the griffin and was taken care of by a lovely young lad, named Brandon. i will definitely be back again. food and drinks are also amazing, definitely recommend the karage chicken :) x

Horrible experiencia, vasos de plástico, piso pegajoso en partes, empapado con bebida partida. Definitivamente no volveré a entrar allí de nuevo

Amazing food amazing service and a beautiful pub all round

Great pub, good food and lovely atmosphere. The staff were all amazing, I will definitely be coming back x

The Customer service was very good and the atmosphere was very nice with very nice decorations but the only thing that wasn’t as good was the food as it was cold and not have the full ingredients but I still enjoyed it . Would come again though as I think it was because it was quite busy .

Order drinks Larger Alcohol Free Cider, guy did not listen gave me one with Alcohol in, 2 x Steak Sandwiches came on White Sliced bread, last time was baguette brown or white, steak was very nice shame about the bread.

Jackie was absolutely fantastic, such a bubbly lady so helpful she couldn't do enough

The atmosphere is very classy, service is friendly and the food is nicely presented. Overall a good experience. Would go again.

Staffs were sooo friendly especially a girl called Jasmine! Food and drinks were absolutely banging as well!

Had a lovely time here, would really recommend

Great pub, great atmosphere. The team are friendly and quick to serve. Would recommend for any occasion

Awful, staff rude and toilets had a poo in urinal

amazing refurb and lovely service, also has great spaces to hire out for events :)

I went in on Saturday and the atmosphere was amazing! The staff was lovely and the food was great!

Visited on the opening evening of the Griffin / Green King. Lovely service from both staff outside and inside the venue. The staff where very welcoming, particularly Lizzie who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Would fully recommend!

This pub was a life saver yesterday, we had a wonderful time there. The staff were warm and friendly just like Yorkshire people are it was just lovely. Bouncers on the door were helpful opening the doors for me as I walk with the aid of rolling walking frame. Didn't score the food as I didn't order any but the wonderful smell from the table at the side of me would have got me to take a look at the menu.

Went for the reopening after the refurbishment 1/11/24 Lovely staff and service, especially the young lad Jamie, always smiling and really friendly. Will definitely be returning
