Overall Rating

Excellent

This bar/restaurant is all on one level with friendly, helpful staff, great beers and great big windows for people-watching.

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

The whole bar is on one level. The entrance has swing doors, which are usually open, but on occasions when they are closed, the staff will immediately assist where necessary.

Parking & Transport

Good

This venue does not have an allocated car park, but there is limited parking nearby. There is a bus stop approx 50m from the entrance, giving easy access into Leeds city centre.

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

The toilets are well-signposted. The disabled loo is of a good size, with plenty of room to manoeuvre a wheelchair. They are clean and clutter-free and have grab rails in-situ.

Staff

Excellent

On my visit, I noticed that the gentleman in front of me in the queue had quite significant mental health issues. I observed the staff member who served him to be very polite, patient and kind towards him. On other occasions, I have noted how accommodating and helpful the staff have been towards wheelchair users, and people with other disabilities, such as seating them in a quieter corner if required.

Additional Information

I would definitely visit this place again, and couldn't recommend it highly enough to others.
