Visit Leeds regularly with my wife first time in this bar and it will be the last ,absolute rip off,got a large white wine and a pint of what I thought would be like brown ale after I asked the barman if he had a drink similar, it tasted and smelt like coffee? Vile ,the cost of 2 drinks£16.60,,it was cheaper in the hilton were we stayed. £5 cheaper in the other head of steam in Leeds,first and last time visit.

This is a bar definitely worth the visit. A great choice of beers and a brilliant atmosphere. The Music is also good . Unfortunately the food is not to match for everything else that is good . Greasy fries and the greek giros falls apart .

Okay things didn’t go to plan last time I called in, but credit where it is due. My complaint was handled perfectly and the staff were fantastic in sorting things out. Not many bars in Leeds could be better at looking after their customers so we all learn to make things better. Please come in here, you will enjoy it!

I just want to thank the staff today. We came earlier this evening and ordered a round of drinks and whilst we were sat a belligerent woman came to our table hassling us being semi-racist. A staff member noticed this instantly and ejected her immediately. The staff were very apologetic and even gave us a discount on our next round of drinks. Definitely recommended and we will visit again!

I have been a customer of the Head of Steam for many years and have enjoyed the excellent beer selection (especially the Belgian range) and music over the past 6 years. I have spent many a time, as part of a group, or on my own on business trips whilst visiting Leeds. My review would be a 5/5, however, I have unfortunately had to downgrade this to 4/5 due to my recent experience. Occupying the mezzanine has never been a problem until tonight, however, whilst my brother and I were enjoying a quiet pint together, we were approached by young female member of staff, were informed that the mezzanine was closed, were asked to leave, followed by a sarcastic remark, 'hence why the door was shut'. We both left the area, swiftly consumed our drinks downstairs, took our glasses to the bar, and apologised to your staff for the inconvenience caused (much to their confusion), and left. Perhaps next time, if a sign was placed on the mezzanine door indicating it was closed, or a lock installed, such confusion would be avoided next time, you would gain extra sale, and 5 star review would be awarded.

On revising what was a very good pub with great bar staff how disappointed I was with my return three barstaff on all stood at the end of the bar on their mobile phones waited three or four minutes to be served by a very rude bar person the beer was good quality will not be revisiting I think the place will be closed down it's six to 12 months what a pity

It's always best to have an opening gambit on these reviews, and I think mine will be 'My Winchester of choice', but I'll come that in a moment. This is a cracking pub in easy striking distance of the station (slightly less so since they closed the stairs and blocked one of the routes to the station, but that's only temporary!) The selection of ales on never fails to please me; whether I'm wanting a good standard ale, or something a little more frisky (my last there was an imperial stout! Lovely!) But what they fail to to lack in beer selection, is made even more superior by warm pork scratchings!! OK, so that's not everyone's bag, but how about the seating? Lots of it, and much split up into booths and nooks and crannies so you can have a nice group chat. We usually drink in a group of four in Leeds, and the booths there are perfect. When very busy, this place seems to easily swallow many bodies without feeling too cramped. The windows are big enough and numerous enough to let in plenty of light if you prefer, but further into the building you can escape it. The staff are fab in here. Always seem to know a good deal about the beers and what they've got in; I seldom catch them snoozing. Anyway, back to the Winchester point, and I always like to consider defensibility in the Zombie apocalypse with these reviews. I reckon this place would be spot on. You've got two main entry points at the front, and the windows, whilst quite big, could be easily barricaded with the numerous tables. Whilst the power is on, you've got some warm hog lumps to keep you going, and the balcony would give you an avenue of retreat if overrun to give you chance to consider some daring feat of bravery to get out.

Been here a few times and the beer selection is great. Tonight, a Sunday, there is meant to be jazz but nothing on and no indication why not. I ordered a gin and tonic and it is a bit of a bugbear when they put the whole bottle of tonic in - give me a choice!

Do not play on the fruit machine. I told the young manager it owes me £20. He saw the machine with the error code and wanted me to contact the company that owns it for the refund. I said no and it's down to you to report which he agreed to do. I gave all my details and a month later I haven't heard anything. I guess the pub is happy on stealing my money.

Great pub and excellent beer. Only problem is on recent visits staff seem more interested in standing around on their phones than serving customers. Worse, they see you, finish their conversation and then belatedly serve you as if you are an inconvenience to their conversation. This has happened on several occasions recently to our group and we sat and watched it happen to multiple other customers too. I do feel this pub has gone downhill somewhat since the second branch opened, presumably some staff/management moved to that one. Service is much slicker over the road at Moot Hall Arms, and they are cheaper and also have some decent beers on.

Great beer as you would expect from this chain (good cask selection, and they had 2 Brew York on keg), superb Jazz band + vocalist who perform there every Sunday, welcoming environment, but a specific shout out to the manager/supervisor with the short hair who said she owes working there to the sax player who taught her - thank you for your hospitality and making my Sunday evening.

My partner and I love popping in here when we visit Leeds for a drink or two. Good selection of beers for my partner who likes strong stuff, and I love treating myself to a half of Früli as the drinks are strong and quite dear. £13 for 1 pint and a half pint surprised me quite a lot. Normally the staff is a lot of females who are happy and chatty, but recently visited and it was a long haired younger chap who wasn't very pleasant, but the pub was very quiet...maybe he was bored, idk. Anyway, sure we'll still be back soon!

As a single girl I can sometimes get bothered by weirdos, and they always look out for me. And let's not forget their amazing selection of beers! Although its wasted on me, as its delirium red all the way. Cannot speak highly enough about this bar! If the manager is reading this, a huge THANK YOU to you and your team for being so nice to us xx

Never visited a head of steam branch before, this one in Leeds offered a vast range of Ales which I'm sure if that floats your boat you'd be in your element. For me, I'm not too fussed about different Ales so this place was just a pub that sold a lager I like. Atmosphere was OK if your into heavy metal / grunge, I personally like it but the Mrs wasn't a fan so we only stayed for 1.
