The Head of Steam Headingley in Leeds

Early evening meet up with family. Great place, good vibe, Oktoberfest menu was good and great choice of beers.

Really nice bar, great selection of drinks, banging music

The slap and pickle burgers are good but they're not great

Great food Accepts dogs no problem Lovely atmosphere

REVIEW FOR SLAP & PICKLE ONLY: Pretty expensive for what it is. The tub of cheese sauce was bland and did not taste of cheese. There's better (and way cheaper) places to eat in Headingley.

lovely staff, great atmosphere!

Nice pub with a really good selection of beer and one really helpful member of staff and another ( older, ponytail) that has no sense of humour and sends a 23 year old to run home in the rain to get I'd for their 3rd pint and fails to warn me that the beer I've just ordered cost £7 each

I had the best burger 🍔 I have eaten infact I have never tasted anything that good, & I have had allot of burgers, absolutely next level. Staff are kind & friendly 5 STAR 🌟

Just popped in for a different kind of ale

Lovely pint of Peroni very nice bar

When arriving we told what table we were on, when getting to the table it was already occupied. Going back to the bar we was asked to then pick another table. Erm I’ve paid £20 for the privilege of booking a table yes it comes off the bill but I could have just walked in if that was the case. The food was good the burgers looked and tasted great. A good night had could have been better service

Always have a cracking time here. Fresh and interesting types of beer, great crowd and plenty of games upstairs. Have to make a stop here if in headingley.

This pub let three of us in, one of us went back out to get a vape and the bouncer would not let him back in, the bub was less than half full, he was sober, we had just been to the cricket, we had to give he's pint away, what a joke.

Cracking pub, good beer, friendly staff, really good music

A great service and food... pleasantly surprised 😮

Didn't eat at the venue Service was quick Nice atmosphere inside.

£6.80 for a pint is actually miserable

Only had drinks but what a great range

Enjoyed a pint and some GORGEOUS Slap and Pickle grub! Well worth the hour and half drive to finally try the food! We ordered the Smokey bun burger, onion rings side and the chicken Kiev sharer fries! And was Absolutely gorgeous!!! and we will definitely visiting again such a good atmosphere, lovely friendly staff too!! If you haven’t already tried the Slap and pickle food honestly get yourself there!!!!

Poor spirit/drinks choice. Same with mixers.

Good selection of beers. Food good value. A bit on the expensive side, but still cheaper than in Headingley stadium, which was 50% more expensive!

Nice atmosphere on a Friday night, good service, wide choice of beers and lots of vegan options on the menu. Wouldn’t bother with the cocktails though, amaretto sour and margarita were pretty naff. Would come back for beer though.

Very busy, studenty pub, no real ale. Not going again No no

Wasn't a fan of the food, although there was plenty to eat, was overcooked and rather bland,. Can't knock the staff, location and vibe, great selection of beers etc.

Hi great place, enjoyed the food beer.Good service thanks

A transformed night club that worked very well. The decor & service has improved. A relaxing bar for Headingley residents & visitors. Toilets upstairs.

Friday 3rd May 2024 Today, we had a great hand pumped pint of real ale in this tremendous 2 floored real ale pub. There were 7 handpumps on Today all were well kept some interesting ales from small breweies The staff today was lovely and friendly, and she knew her job well. The local following were predominantly real ale drinkers The 10% CAMRA discount was the final cherry on the cake to make it impossible for me not to give this grand real ale pub 5 stars yoday

Great place, staff are lovely, friendly & welcoming. The manager is a really nice guy. Had the pepperoni pizza, it was gorgeous, will definitely return for another. Fantastic choice of beers. One thing that could be improved is the state of the chairs, definitely need recovering, very threadbare. Think the brewery needs to spend some money on this, otherwise lovely bar.

Pleasant atmosphere pub, short walk from cricket ground. Friendly, welcoming staff, always ready to talk about beers. Good place to watch the world go by. Beer quality and choice decent, without being outstanding.

Excellent vegan food and friendly and approachable staff. Good weekly pub quiz with Jonny.

Great night, very friendly pub with brilliant bar staff

Cracking find, didn't realise it was there.They have a good selection of beers. Popped in for a drink and ended up staying for a another! The young lady that served us was fantastic.

Great pub, we did not try the food but they had an extensive selection of tasty beer and everything we tasted was great. Highly recommended

Love this oasis of calm in the madness of the Otley run. Friendly service too!

This is a popular and atmospheric watering hole in pleasant surroundings with helpful staff. Their prices are a little too high though.

Nice place for a Sunday evening chill Would have stayed longer, but we had to meet friends.

Great range of drinks and bar games upstairs

Quickly turning into my favourite pub in Headingley, good food, great beer, and the staff are extremely friendly. Lovely atmosphere.

Delicious food with plenty of vegan options. Really filling as well. I got the vegan club pizza and it was genuinely amazing! The atmosphere was lovely too, and they had a really good playlist on. Free games too which was fun! Service was a bit slow at times, but I don't mind really as it's a nice place to chill and at leaat it means the food isn't just microwaved like some places. The staff were really friendly too Definitely plan to come back here. Can't believe I've been living less than a 5 and a half minute walk from this place for over a year and a half and never been. Would absolutely recommend

Lovely place, great food and service ! amazing price too, got 2 meals with drinks for £22 total 😁

Very friendly staff who are more than happy to help with beer choices, samples etc. Place looks great with games upstairs and nice big screens showing what beers are on.

Really good selection of pints on tap- a couple you know and lots you don't so it's a great place to branch out, but you've still got a security pint

Great real ale pub, just wish I could have sampled more of them 😩. Food was OK. Great relaxed vibe with a singer on too, enjoyed the night

Good selection of beers on tap, including Erdinger. The pizza was really tasty and pretty quick. Atmosphere on a weeknight in mid Dec was lively as you might expect.

Didn't have food, but looked good

Great selection of bevs, friendly service, and one of the best vegan kebabs I've ever had.

Good music, good food and great service. Definitely will be back.

Good vibes, good food, friendly staff!

Food was great, music was great and service was great too. Upstairs games are great too. Will definitely be coming back

Very busy on a Saturday night and took ages to get served. Good range of beers.

Food was awful. When. I complained the person working ate from my plate and said "it's always like that" and put the plate back. Totally disgusting. Avoid.

Nice pub with a fun pub quiz but the food leaves much to be desired

A lovely place and a good pub quiz. I would recommend getting there early for the quiz

Jam-packed, pre-rugby, fast service, fabulous beer selection, what more can I say? I'd love to come back when it wasn't as manic; the drinks selection is outstanding, and I thought it made a good reason to come to Headingly and an even better one to stay. Cheers and thanks.

Fantastic pub, great beer and food, very enjoyable

Had drinks with friends here nice decor and a good vibe, bit pricey for drinks but worth a visit

The staff are very helpful and a good pint of Guinness.

Top place, good for a night out

Clean tidy establishment! Good value for money 💷

Busy bar and an amazing selection of ales 🍺

Amazing food, brilliant and attentive staff, definitely recommend 👌

Only called in for a pint,but great place,full of students

Been here a few times now loved it both times. Enough on the menu to please all.

Great atmosphere and well priced drinks, shuffle board available upstairs if you book in advance.

Good space and good beer. Live music last Thursday with a jazz guitarist - good atmosphere

Great selection of beers. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Called in here while the students were away. Large pub with a good range of ales. Friendly bar-man. Very quiet when we visited, early afternoon.

Went for lunch. Pleasantly surprised as I'd been past a few times but not called in.

Really friendly staff. Good food and nice beer selection. What's not to like!

Lovely place for a quiet drink on a hectic Saturday!

Love going here with our dog. Great food, drinks and awesome atmosphere.

Love head of steam, love the vegan scran.Not sure about the Otley run lot though

Didn't eat but what a great atmosphere and great staff

Food was disappointing I'm afraid

Beer great, service great, been a few time, love the place.

Lovely staff, great selection of beers( I'm particularly fond of the mongozo banana beer as weird as it is) and great food with options for everyone

Chips are banging , burgers absolutely not worth it. They look great but are dry and tasteless and v expensive. Great choice of drinks and the quiz is always a great night on a Weds.

Excellent service and friendly staff

Has a really good pub quiz! 10/10. Foot is a bit pricey though

Lovely little place, had the pizza which was tasty and filling. Wife had the head of steam cheeseburger and loved it. Staff were polite and helpful. Thank-you

Really should not charge the same as City centre prices... Over £6 a pint. Two bar staff on a Saturday lunch time for Leeds Rhino's V Wigan cup match 2.30pm kick off, warm and sunny... Say no more.

Lovely pub but prices are too expensive

Good vibe, friendly staff and some interesting cask ales alongside the standard keg stuff

Great place, heaven for craft beer drinkers. It is quite expensive though

Great vibes, friendly staff and fantastic selection of craft beer.

Little loud if busy and far to hot! Great selection of beers and lots of seating.

Love to go head of steam and beat my hubby at shuffleboard! Only slight issue I have is that it is one of the more pricey places to drink in headingely.

Cracking pub, loads of bar staff, eager to take your order

Nice vibe. The food is mouthwatering. Will definitely see you soon.

A nice cosy pub in the heart of HTC, a wide variety of local beers up for grabs. Shuffleboard and pool is available. What more could one want?

Second time visiting. Found a great venue, with good range of drinks. Busy, but not too busy that you can't get served.

Good vegan options, dog friendly and shuffleboard. Love it here!

Great selection of hand pulled real ales and a great atmosphere

So glad I found this place! Me and my little boy went to find somewhere out of the cold while my daughter did her dance class so we went to headingley taps and they said they didn't allow kids in after 6 and I asked if any where else did and they said no. I walked by the head and just nipped in just in case and asked if they allowed kids and the staff was amazing and friendly, me and my little boy was welcomed by the staff and we was out of the cold and they had loads of board games to choose from! We had a great half an hour there and the wine was really nice too!

Pleasant place during the day. Staff are friendly. Not been in the evening as yet. Their coffees and teas are lovely :)

Man has the food in this place gone downhill. We ordered vegan food and they have switched the fake meats. It now tastes cheap and lacks flavour. Portions are smaller too.

Great atmosphere Good food and beer

A good review of Barista needs lots of sampling! Just to confirm that a pint in Headingley (Leeds) is every bit as good as one tested ion the quayside (Newcastle)! Nice one, team!

A nice contrast to the Golden Beam. More expensive, sure, but the atmosphere & the lighting was much more to my taste. Had a couple of good beers, though the rhubarb one after the cherry sour was probably the wrong order to have them in. Great that you can get things like that easily now in Leeds, it hasn't always been that way!

Decent beer range and decent bar
