The Merchant Leeds in Leeds

Food was spot on, good value for money.

Not a bad pub for a city center pub its got friendly staff and colourful characters coming and going which can be quite amusing. The drinks are cheap and I always have a laugh in there whenever I call in.

Bar staff are so lovely and friendly, 10/10 experience Shout out to deidre!

Unless you're a local don't bother trying for karaoke as they'll skip you for the local people

Yasmine was great! Such a good night

The best place ever on a Friday Yasmine is amazing

Charlotte was amazing, so polite and easy to talk to. Great atmosphere and great place to watch any sport event and very good pool tables

Excellent service. Yasmin was amazing and very helpful! Would definitely come again

Amazing people great atmosphere 👏 5 star

Great hospitality, lovely draft bear.

Lovely atmosphere, jasmine was a very helpful bartender and would definitely recommend if you want to watch the football somewhere in Leeds centre

Tom is simply the best better than all the rest

Staff are lovely, nice place for a small drink or seventeen. Tom is great behind the bar.

Didn't eat but was a nice place 😌

We had a great time and recived great service. Excellent range of drinks clean facilities and fully stocked

Only went for a drink and was a lovely inviting pub.

(Update) 5 stars to all the staff cheap drinks cheap food great! Booths with tv Pool Small outdoor area 8 tequila shots are £10

Thank you so much to Team Merchant Leeds! My daughter and her 2 friends had an amazing time with you all last Friday night. My daughter became quite poorly (obviously a little too much to drink I imagine!) But the care and attention Team Merchant showed the girls was so caring. Thank you Bouncer Scott, Rebekah (management) and staff. They enjoyed the atmosphere, food and drink so much they can't wait to come back to you again! Thank you for helping & staying with the girls until I arrived. You all went above and beyond and I am so grateful! ❤

I went there a week ago for drinks ks with my friends from York we had a good night

Lovely place and amazing staff. My friend got really sick but Scott and Becca were so so incredible and helped us out the whole time. All the staff were so lovely and understanding. Can also recommend the karoake!

No real ale the food is not a good has it wa

Friendly staff nice pint friendly customers and cheap prices

Love this pub. Set next to Merrion Centre, can be quiet during the week (which is how I like it tbh) but weekends and if there is any live sport on at the time, it can become VERY busy .. especially when football season starts! Prebooked a table a few times, so that I can guarantee a good seat, usually a booth as this has two charging points for mobiles, tablets etc. PLENTY OF TV'S TO WATCH DIFFERENT SPORTS ON AT THE SAME TIME ASWELL! Lovely welcoming staff, reasonable bar/food prices, good atmosphere, especially on matçh days. Clean ladies toilets, with extra large toilet cubicles down at the bottom end of the row, which would be good for disabled access (but there is also a disabled toilet available) or 'friends' who want to chat together lol! 👱 Pool table and dart board, aswell. No wonder that I am there quite often! 😂

Haven’t been there in a while, decided to brave it tonight. It was just after the England game, so place was pack with drunken louts singing to really loud played music! Couldn’t hear anything due to music was loud. Used to have good DJs …But not tonight.

Really enjoy coming here staff good and food amazing especially the large fish.

The evening was fabulous, food was fine, karaoke fun was on when around 8ish. Only drops a star for charging £3 for a glass of coke with tons of ice.

Great kareoke, friendly service, great atmosphere 👍

Love this place staff are fantastic

I have an egg allergy and the staff were brilliant. They went out of their way to may sure I was catered for. Will definitely be going again

Loved this place, booked a table for the football, on arrival we were welcomed at the door, evidenced our booking and got straight in. Someone had taken our seats, this was quickly rectified by the bar staff. The toilets were spotless. Seven deep at the bar with a good queue and jovial banter by everyone. Took a while to get served, however the bar staff never stopped and were always polite and helpful despite being rushed off their feet. Thank you for a well organised wonderful afternoon.

Top service.. Fully recommend.. A1

A mix of people use the merchant, great place to watch the footy, great atmosphere, reasonably priced.

We didn't eat but enjoyed our visit.

Had breakfast here today. The food was piping hot and gorgeous. The lavazza coffee hot and fresh. Lucy was amazing, going above and beyond in her customer service

Nice place for a beer, don't know the DJ'S name but he knows his job!

Lovely place reasonably priced. 10/10

Really nice cocktails made by Natalie, super friendly service.

Food great and hot service excellent staff very friendly and accommodating , good prices definitely a place to have a snack beer prices good also

Great spot for lunch, had 2 lite bite meals. Fish sub & southern fried chicken sub with chips. Both under £10 didn't realise you could have free soft drink included or alcoholic drink for £1.00. So had 2 drinks each 😂. Food was tasty & hot. Lady behind bar brought 2nd drinks to the table.

Just a city centre pub, but what a pleasure. You just don't need anything better. Facilities, staff, prices, all great

Popped in for a beer on Saturday, nice pub, the drinks were fresh and there is a good pool table area. The ladies loos really stank of urine and muck up the walls, needs a serious deep clean. It literally took my breath away, for that reason I wouldn't eat in this place, even though the food smelled tasty. What a shame!!

Staff on the door and Bar are always so friendly and welcoming. Clean and cozy environment. With a chill upbeat atmosphere

Lovely food, great prices and excellent service. Thank you xx

Excellent service and friendly staff and excellent products

Great pub good prices nice atmosphere

Warm place to have a drink, eat and watch sports

Could never say you can't see a TV..

Surprisingly good pint of Guinness, good for sports too

John Smith's 2.25 pint Brill good company

Family gathering we all enjoyed

Really nice staff, beer at great prices and good pub food. What more could you ask for?

We had a Kickboxing social there for 40 people, staff are amazing. It was for our Christmas meal they set the tables beautifully with crackers and Christmas hats. We all had an amazing time. The food was lovely and there was lots of it so everyone was full when they left Will definitely go again next year

Harry should get a raise, banging place

Nestled along the Otley Run, is a fantastic spot for those seeking a blend of lively ambiance, quality drinks, and delicious food. The atmosphere is vibrant, making it an ideal stop during the Otley Run. The drinks menu is diverse, offering a range of options to suit different preferences. Additionally, the food options are noteworthy, providing a satisfying complement to your drinks. Whether you're a local or just passing through, is definitely worth a visit for a well-rounded and enjoyable experience.

Good place friendly people good music top night

Decent selection of lagers and prices are great. Lots of screens for sport. Not the cleanest or most comfortable pub but it's fine for a quick pint

We were on the lookout for a spot to enjoy some quick drinks, and stumbling upon this pub turned out to be a stroke of luck. The drink selection was top-notch, and the 2 for 1 cocktails were an unbeatable deal. We couldn't resist and ended up with two delightful cocktails each. The 10 shots of Cherry Sourz, also on a special offer, added an extra kick to our evening. While we didn't order any, the Beer selection also seemed quite large and affordable. The staff were not only friendly but impressively efficient; our drinks were prepared swiftly, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. The lively atmosphere, coupled with multiple TVs showcasing different sports, created an engaging backdrop. Football and horse racing provided entertainment as we enjoyed our drinks. The pub's location is conveniently easy to get to, making it an ideal choice for a spontaneous night out. Overall, a five-star experience—great drinks, friendly service, lively ambiance, and a perfect location. We'll definitely be back for more!

Good pint of Doombar for £3. Would have had another if it wasn't a bit rowdy.

Clean .food good...drinks cheap...what more can you say

Nothing more entertaining, while having drink, than absolutely atrocious singing on the karaoke. Go on, for a laugh

Little more pricey than other closer pubs but you do normally get better music here. Great on an evening/night

Nice bar, good service, pretty good atmosphere, but didn't eat there. Prices reasonable.

Lovely place to have a drink nice atmosphere 😊

Great place for a night out good choice of drinks great staff and atmosphere great time had by everyone

Good selection of beers, busy (Friday night), good service.

Best pub in leeds on a Friday night. Me and my sister love this pub. Absolutely fantastic.

Got served by Natalie lovely girl lovely drinks

Came to the merchant and was served by a lovely polite girl (Natalie) and she made a banging long island ice very nice craig

One of the best pubs in the city centre, great vibe, happy staff.

Brilliant atmosphere. Free pool on Tuesday.

Buen pub para disfrutar de una buena cerveza y ver partidos.

Good atmosphere and reasonably priced

Top customer service from the bar maids

A good boogie bar, yes a fair bit of dancing went on in here on a girls night out, fun had by all, thanks. Great value drinks, friendly vibe.

Love this place, Jade took really good care of us!

Fab staff. My favourite was the guy in the tweed waistcoat. Made the best Baby Guinness shots then offered me the skeleton dog

they really SLAYED 🔥🔥🔥 fav thing: the skeleton dog 💯

What can I say other than it's a pub we were served the staff were friendly and professional we played pool but it was so hot even with the doors open. Not much atmosphere to make me stay longer or buy another drink however we did leave before the DJ so maybe they would change our minds 🤔

Love to meet family and friends in here

Good place to watch the football with lots of screens / TVs with different games on . They need to invest in a few bottle openers so they can open the wine!

Great post Otley run place to have a few!

Harry was a really good bar tender

Great place to meet other veterans and enjoy good banter along with good beer.
