Headrow House

Top choice in Leeds


A former textile mill and one-time grotty dive pub, the historic building that now houses Headrow House was given a hefty makeover to transform it into the four-floor nightlife venue it is today. The ground-floor beer hall sells its own pilsner straight from tanks lining one wall. Upstairs there’s a cocktail bar and Leeds’ best roof-terrace drinking spot.

It's also home to Ox Club restaurant.
