Good boozer generally but the toilets on Saturday night were horrendous and I wasn't the only one thinking that. I know you can't control your customer's behaviour but given how busy it is, you could put a cleaner in there when you know it's going to be busy, floor was swimming in wee and the cubicles were in a shocking state, gross.

Great pub for drinking with your friends, or a quick pint after work. A great range of beers, that are kept well and range in price, I found the customer service to be friendly and the bar staff knowledgeable about the beer they serve. Even when busy, the amount of space that the pub has, means that you usually are able to get a seat/table no problem, with it central location, it usually the meeting place for a start of a night out with friends.

Attended a Christmas Party here and was genuinely disappointed. The bar and staff were friendly and the atmosphere was good. DJ was ok and played a lot of hits. The food was the real let down. We had a large group, but it was all delivered to one table, which led to a massive queue. They ran out plates after about half the guests were served and there was no labelling or separation for vegetarian or other dietary requirements. One person in our group was left with a parsnip, which was all that was available. A real let down in comparison to the previous year where the food was labelled properly, spread over 2 tables (with enough to feed everyone) and an overall better selection.

Awful environment to be in. My friend was taking a video of the band to which the bouncer disapproved, When he innocently objected, bouncers (pictured) put said friend in a headlock, traumatizing behavior. At no point is that acceptable. I have been a long time patron of Head of Steam in both Headingley and in city center. I advise all future visitors to beware and avoid at all costs.

We go here often, it’s a nice bar that attracts a good crowd. I don’t know if a bar with a better selection of keg beers than this one, there are too many to list. We usually enjoy drinking the different IPAs, some cost a few pound more than usual but are worth every penny. It’s dog friendly too, only ever seen us with dogs. It’s a big bar with some outdoor seating but due to ii’s popularity it’s not always possible to get a seat straight away. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Sometimes there is live music on. They also have shuffleboard.

On the outset this place was large and well spaced out with friendly staff. A good choices of craft beers and a plentiful collection of drinks behind the bar. Prices are very reasonable and there’s large tables suitable for larger groups. The food however although served hot and fresh was a little burnt and dry. Some dishes appeared to have cooked with more care but there burnt parts somewhat made the food a little implantable. Over all, a good place to come In the evening but select your food dish carefully

Another great visit to this fantastic bar. We returned here because last time we were in Leeds we discovered it and found the staff sooooo dog friendly that when we left ThistleDoodleJack had a few new friends. The choice of drinks, especially beers, is brilliant, and they have themes/guest breweries every so often. The staff are knowledgable and happy to help you choose from the baffling array. We had some snack food on our second visit and it was fantastic - far better than a pub should serve. There is a choice of seating including booths, stools, tables and outside terrace. We've found every spot has it's own atmosphere, but the only place we haven't hung out is by the games. Did I mention they have a few games which are popular. Most of the week this place seems busy enough to feel popular, but Friday & Saturday evenings it can get very busy. This is the No.1 spot for us in Leeds, not least for the amazing staff - in fact probably because of them - and it'll continue to be a destination in its own right. I've give it 6* if I could.

Been in a few times before on an evening and they often do have some nice ales on. We've eaten here too and were not impressed with the food, very basic. Popped in today at mid-day. £13.40 for an ale and two cokes. The ale was off, so they were going to swap it for me after pulling through some more. That barrel had got to it's end, so poured me a different ale. First pulled one of those through, then gave me the next pint out of it. Clearly no-one had had the ales yet that day. That one tasted like vinegar again too. Just left it. My Daughter also didn't drink her coke as it had a slice of lemon in it, and she has a thing about fruit in drinks. Oh well. Probably won't go again.

I begin this review with “would you pay £13.50 for the burger below?” The service was brilliant at the Head of Steam, however the food is absolutely rubbish. I paid £13.50 for a so called ‘Korean burger’ the ‘Asian coleslaw’ was sauceless carrots and onions and the chips were barely cooked right, also to add the burger bun looked like Warbourten bun from the Tesco express next door! The burger was boring and unsatisfying. Their pizzas look good but paying a premium price for a burger and getting rubbish is frustrating.

We had been looking forward to having the chicken gyros meal that we'd enjoyed for the past few times, but when we got there, they had changed the menu since our last visit. It wasn't a huge issue as its expected with food places, so we chose some of the new options. My partner chose the double bacon cheeseburger and fries for £15, and I chose the Korean chicken wrap, which was £13 with skin on fries. Both meals were really nice so will be having those again. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, and it was just right. Not too busy, so we were able to get a booth seating area. And we didn't have to wait too long for the food. The female toilets are decorated lovely, only one issue is every single toilet seat is broken so you do kind of slip off when you sit down so it won't be any help when you're on a night out after a few sherberts haha! The broken seats are not a new thing as they were like this on a leaving do last year, so a little cheeky request to the Manager to get these fixed please! It's quite a good-sized bar with decent amounts of seating. There's bar games you can book a night out with friends which are quite good fun. There's takeaway canned beer options. There's a small outside seating area so you can watch the shoppers go by. It is situated behind Boots on the back side of Trinity. If you come out of the side of Boots where punk pizza is, turn left and head towards Park Row, it is just on the left hand corner opposite Tesco.
