The Library Pub in Leeds

It picked up in 2014 by diverse management. Upstairs still have live acts. Kitchen in view with chefs. Clever seating and TV screens. Small beer garden at the front.

I've always had great experiences dining and drinking at the Library, but today was different. I ordered 15 chicken wings to take home and paid for them, but ended up waiting nearly 30 minutes, even though it wasn't particularly busy. When I inquired at the counter, it became clear that a staff member had forgotten to send my order to the kitchen. Instead of prioritizing it, I was made to wait another 30 minutes. I was really disappointed by the lack of attention to customer service.

Great choice of ales. Visited on a mid-week early afternoon hence a score of only three stars.

I just stopped in for a pint here after checking out the university nearby, I'd seen the positive reviews online and thought it'd be a decent place to stop. Maybe this was just an off day, or an off pint? But I had an Asahi that was room temperature, flat, and tasted unlike any Asahi I'd ever had before, in an unbranded, slightly warm glass. All for the slightly above average price of £5.70. It seems like a nice enough environment, and the location is pretty great, but the pint I had was barely worth finishing... So I probably would avoid it if you want a beer.

Amazing brunch thanks to Tom and Theo amazing service

Tom and Theo was so great xxxxxx

Thank you so much Tom and Theo for amazing service!!!!

Absolutely amazing brunch. Tom looked after us so well and made it the best night. Thankyou so much

Tom was the best bottomless brunch host!! He was so kind and helpful even with my annoying friends cx

Thank you to Tom and Theo for being the best bottomless brunch hosts ! They made our time so enjoyable !

The BEST bottomless brunch ever. Tom and Theo served us and were absolutely amazing! Such an enjoyable day with the best service, food and drinks!! One Prosecco, two Prosecco, three Prosecco…floor!! Ha ha. Best day ever😍

best brunch EVERRR thanks to Tom and Theo, amazing service cocktails were yummmm

theo and niall served us on tuesday, and were very polite when waiting for us to order, as the library has such a huge range of choices! would recommend for great service and a cute atmosphere.

Rosanna was great, would totally come back!

Great affordable food in a fun venue. Tom was a great help, walking us through the menu and giving recommendations. A very friendly member of staff, a credit to the business!

Bobbed in briefly prior to gig at the Lending room. Nice pub, great atmosphere. Didn't try food.

Tom (the amazing bald man) was such a help today and really made our experience at the library a thrill! Thank you for your time and effort we will be back 🙏🏽

Rosanna was class she allowed me to get a 2 pint which represented value and served with a smile will come back again

came for lunch with a friend, tom was lovely, very friendly service and good vibes, will definitely be returning soon thank you

Expensive drinks but good atmosphere. Advertise 2-4-1 cocktails all day everyday, but they weren't available on the day I went in 🤷‍♀️

Really busy for a Weds evening but found a good little spot to catch up with a friend

Only the service let it down. Went for metal to the masses final. Bands were brilliant, however staff were directing us in different directions, the door staff obviously weren't regular. Bar staff were flustered and didn't handle pressure well being quite aggressive with customers when the pump went off. She did later apologise but clearly needed some support. More toilets needed and a cleaner. The most disgusting toilets I have ever seen!

Service was exactly what you would want for a bottomless brunch. Very quick and attentive. The food was amazing and the cocktails were perfect!

Had the best time at bottomless brunch, Steph, Theo and Spencer really looked after us and gave us such a good experience.

The best place for bottomless brunch w Steph Theo and spencer. Over 2 and half hours. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So funnnnnnnnnnnn

PENG love library brunch sick one mate tysm service was so good so friendly and nice i’m a happy man defo recommend to a friend or a family or a cousin

The beer is good but the staff weren't very happy. The food arrived quickly enough but didn't come with cutlery and when I went to find it I was told that it would be brought over... after a few minutes. The burgers were over complicated to order and we left most of it on the plate, the pizza looked good but was barely cooked which was a shame. The base was solid dough in the middle. Maybe turn the oven up a touch? But of a shame... def a boozers pub.

Fantastic budget friendly pub. Excellent staffs. Much recommended.

Quiet on a Sunday afternoon so no trouble getting a table. The food was really good surprisingly for a chain pub. I really enjoyed the burrito bowl There's no parking here, as it is close to the uni quarter in Leeds, so bare that in mind. We parked 7 min away on Woodsley Road, free and unrestricted parking on a Sunday

Jakob and Theo were class would definitely come back

Jacob and Theo were great guys would love to come again

Amazing place with a nice staff and a lot of get-ons.

Call me a purist, but I don't think punk IPA should be a "guest ale". Beautiful building, big bar and low wait times. Busy and good easygoing night out tunes. Low(ISH) character, high capacity.

Amazing venue with amazing food. A decent walk from the center (half an hour) and also up a slight hill. But the number 1 bus is a convenient trip from right outside the station to just outside the venue.

A pleasant pub, not too busy during the week and a good range of beers, especially if you like cask IPAs from unusual brewers. A little pricey at over £12 for two beers but service was quick and polite and the best was good.

Didn't have any food, just drinks as we went to see a gig. The building is beautiful and the atmosphere of the gig room was electric! Unfortunately the card machine was playing up at the bar so service suffered a bit, but not because of the bar staff, they were very friendly.

Great staff. Loads of diversity wihch is always good

We booked in for bottomless brunch was amazing good choice of food , good choice of drinks the staff are amazing they keep coming to check your ok they bring you drinks will definitely be booking again and again thank you for a lovely couple of hours

I came for a girls bottomless brunch Steph was our waitress and she was amazing!! she came over so many times so we got all our drinks in so fast! defo recommed :)

Cole was an absolute legend and slayed the whole night. Made the experience honestly unforgettable and an amazing memory !!! Thank you for the best bottomless brunch :)

We had Cole serve us for bottomless brunch and it was so much fun! Thank you!

Decent food and Excellent service from Cole.

Watched the Bahrain F1 Grand Prix here. Lots of screens so you can watch from anywhere, nice atmosphere, obviously student vibe, no noticeable hooligans. Mega hot chicken wings! Good drinks. And nice staff.

Good selection of beers and craft beers. Food is good too. It's quite big. Enough places to sit. We went in a big group and we didn't have any trouble. The crowd is generally quite young. The background music is louder than usual. We could talk over it but this is definitely not one of the calm n quiet bars.

Steph was really ace. Truly the best service ever received on a brunch. Want her every time. Thank you for being brill Steph. We love you

Amazing waitress Steph! Give that girl a raise. She couldn't do enough for us. Constantly checked if we were OK and always kept our glasses full.

Excellent brunch and service from Steph 😊, the brunch is excellent value and not shy with drinks! Good selection of food and very nice too!

Work night out at the Library. Fantastic service by the lovely Steph, greeted with a smile and great with recommendations for food and drinks. Will definitely come again x

Fab night with amazing service from the superhero Steph. Absolutely recommended - great food (even gluten free) and continuous drinks on our bottomless brunch.

Literally some of the nicest servers I’ve ever had!! Steph and Bex made this one of the best pub experiences I’ve ever had. Thank you so much!

Went for brunch with friends for a birthday, was served by the incomparable Steph and Bex, whose accommodations were very appreciated

Went to upstairs band venue (The Lending Room). Good gig space but accessibility is limited with steep stairs. Bar has a good selection of drinks including Brewdog ales.

Shout out to Andy for hosting our party of 8 for a bottomless brunch. Drinks kept flowing and Andy was attentive! Food was great too!

We had booked for our Christmas lunch and the food took forever to get out the kitchen. But otherwise it was good,

Great night in the Lending Room watching an amazing local band called Empire.These young lads rocked.Check them out on Facebook.Remember the name these guys are going all the way.

Great service, Only reason for 4 stars for food is several items in the menu were not available.

DJ ben is the best ever he took all my requests and kept the vibes all all night xx

Got served by China, the nicest bartender I’ve met to date, very lovely and considerate of patrons needs. The library staff couldn’t be more lucky to have her on the team

Rude bar staff, verbally abused and threatened physical fights with people, worst pub on the otley run…AVOID

A must visit British pub, on Wing Wednesday. Crispy juicy fried wings - very tasty

This was my Library as a child, so lots of sentimental memories, it's a pub now,

Amazing love it. Great place lovely staff excellent food and drinks. Would recommend for bottomless brunch.

A very popular venue. Great atmosphere and service.

Otley run so very busy but seems like a nice place to go when less people are there

Good value on the drinks, reasonable choices of beer, and friendly staff. The music venue upstairs is well worth a visit, excellent sound & acoustics and a good space as well

Ask for Cole, banging music, banging drinks can’t ask for more🔥🔥 Didn’t ring a bell for last orders of what is that about???

This place is K-Town Chicken on Just Eat. Ordered from there, and the order never updated, no number on just eat so I had to find it here through the address. No one picked up when I called - Three times. Just awful service from a ghost kitchen.

We went for bottomless brunch here and the service was amazing, our server holly never let us go without a drink, she was attentive and lovely and checked on us every ten minutes to see if we were running low on our drinks or bottomless wings. It was definitely worth every penny. Would 100% recommend and we will soon be back hoping that holly is our waitress again as she was BRILLIANT.

Wonderful place to loosen up from the uni work

Harry was great last night,and super friendly!

Very nice food and cocktails, bottomless brunch was amazing. Very quick with drink refills, lovely staff!

Izzy was amazing !!! Would defo come back to the Library. Thankyou :)

Despite saying multiple times that I wanted a non alcoholic beer I was given one with alcohol in! Two stars for the other lovely staff member who apologised but it's a very dangerous mistake to make.

Got abused by the bouncers. Part of the "ottley pub watch" where any bouncer who had something against you can inform (/be informed) the rest of Leeds not to allow you into their pub for any action/persona they disagree with.

I Come most Wednesdays for the best chicken wings!

Absolutely loved my visit, they serve all my favourite drinks and the food was great too! Rosanna was a star and made me feel really welcome, will definitely be coming back very soon!

Great experience doing the quiz, Harry behind the bar was very kind and gave great service ☺️

Beau + Steph were perfect - lovely, quick service and very chilled atmosphere. Food was lovely, we ordered a range of food and it was all spot on. Would definitely recommend coming to the Library!

Andy was brilliant, spoke to him about WWC and had a nice chat! Drinks were cheap and 5 star services, would go again!

Came for otley run late on a Sunday when it’s dead, drew and niall were lovely and played Abba for us! Very good vibes and lovely serving us.

Great atmosphere for pub quiz, good drinks prices as well

great pub quiz on sunday, definitely will come again :)

Rosanna was lovely and recommended rlly good vegetarian options ! Will come back again!

Went in today, served by Niall and Andy who were both lovely!

A convenient place to grab a bite and get a few drinks close to Uni of Leeds.

We went and experienced a fantastic allergy service from Andy! He was amazing! Really respectful and went the extra mile for us! He deserves to be commended! Had some wonderful dining! Thank you!

Went during the otley run! Super fun and good atmosphere

We love the restaurant. The chicken wings are amazing. The grand prix that is sometimes on is cool.

Such a sultry slay Sunday love the SugaGays x

Brilliant quiz! From the rocket league pros!

Staff are like zombies, about as quick as a disabled frog, avoid at all cost

Such a good pub, lovely people and best bar staff ever. Fully recommend for the night of your life!!

Fantastic live music venue watched a band called Kill the silence great gig

Went to see Jason Allan (he was amazing!!) venue not so much. Staff miserable & one bar man could not stop scratching his hair & body. Yuck

Good music, good drinks, staff are friendly,Niall and Michael are top blokes, recommend this pub. Good place

Only visited at lunchtime so can't comment on what it's like at other times (although I hear that it's quite fun at night). The food was ok, nothing special but filling and tasty. Pretty disappointed in the service - quite disjointed, the food was not served together so some people had to sit and wait for their food while others got halfway through their meal. the person serving was not particularly attentive and missed certain parts of the order. Would I visit again? Certainly not for lunch but as I said, I'd certainly give it a go for a night out.

A good place, the prices are pleasing, I like everything, a frequent visitor

Wings were mint. Steph was great would absolutely come again. Nice vibe and atmosphere and plenty of comftable seating.

Nice pub definitely worth a visit

Pizza is almost the same price as rudy’s but makes u sick and looks like school pizza
