Such a little gem of a place, I'm not sure I should be sharing this, or keeping it to myself!What they've done is to take the head office of Leeds' iconic brewery and created an arts space inside it. So, like, they've gutted it and painted everything white, right? Well no, actually. They've kept a lot - id say most - of the internal features. The wood panelled doors, the boardroom including table & chairs, the grand entrance, even the classic open frame lift, (though sadly that's not useable). They've added a great cafe/bar and reception area and are using the remaining space creatively for exhibitions. When I visited many of the rooms were telling a sequential story, like walking through the pages of an illustrated book. Another area had a display of artefacts from the Menwith Hill protests in the 70s accompanied by a fascinating video about the whole area, it's history, archeology, oh yes and the protest too. I dare say these exhibitions will change around but honestly it's worth a visit just to see the building itself. Oh, I nearly forgot, up on the top floor there's a gorgeous little soft play area designed by an actual artist. You need to sign-up online so they know who's attending, but if I had a toddler I'd be there for an hour every time I went to Leeds!

Food was great. They had free Dahl for kids too. Would go back just for this.Kids play room was cute.I didn’t really get the art, might be just me though.Parking is tough, I recommend the train or planning ahead where you park.

We chose The Tetley for our wedding as we were looking for a central location that would be warm, casual and a great backdrop for photos. We had a really great experience planning the wedding with Holly, and all communication was effective and efficient. We also felt that we were listened to every step of the way and all of our opinions and ideas were catered for. On the day, the staff were amazing and couldn’t help us enough! All our guests commented on how amazing the food was (pie and chips was perfect for our wedding day!) and the rooms looked absolutely stunning. We can’t thank the staff enough for looking after us and setting up the rooms exactly as we wished, and we’ll never forget the friendly feel of The Tetley.

The tiny tots area is a lovely calm space for little ones. We had a great experience at the restaurant which offered a few gluten free options. When my 4 year old refused to eat the fries because they were seasoned (entirely my fault for not noticing on the menu), they redid the order with no questions or fuss. There was even a free baby dhal on the menu which was delicious! Absolutely fantastic place.

Had my wedding at the Tetley and it was amazing - I couldn't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a venue in Leeds. The events team are so organised and made everything easy from start to finish. The building is beautiful and really unique. The food is great too. We couldn't have chosen a better place to get married!

This is an art space with exhibitions and activities. A great venue for an event or just to visit the bar.

We held our 25th Wedding Vow Renewal Reception at The Tetley and what a service they provided! Nothing was beyond them. Holly looked after us from our first visit all the way through to the day it self. She ensured EVERYTHING went smoothly.She gave us details of an Excellent DJ and Sax combo plus Magician, Artist, Photo Booth and even let us pull our first pint instead of cutting a cake! Most of which were organised by her and her team so nothing missed and everything went so smooth.We keep hearing so many good comments about the food from the "Yorkshire Horderves" to the burgers, dessert grazing table and chip butties at 10:00pm! The food and drinks package were excellent!We can't say anything bad about the venue and the way it were organised. We even had photos in the legendary Boardroom. Well done Holly, your Team and of course The Tetley. Thank you and we have no issues in recommending you in the future! In fact we already have!

No mistake, I and my family like the venue… really do …. But …there are two issues I have with the place ….1st the auto service charge, we were their today and the server took my order and delivered the food..she was lovely but nothing else was needed from her…it’s kind of awful that it’s not your choice anymore, that not only do you pay for the meal but since they don’t call it a “tip” anymore youre paying extra for them to servicing you ????? I only knew I paid it after paying my bill… I kind of resent paying somebody for the basics that they should already be paid for …. No matter the smiles it should be reflective of service offered rather than “ here it is already calculated before we’ve even sent the order to the kitchen “ .. in all fairness we did sit out side and I understand the “ we don’t create a tab for outside chairs “ that’s fair, maybe it would have been different if I sat inside..but a service charge is a tip and it should be my choice or at least have your severs outline it before we pay….what I was told was “ the bill is £40 … tap the top ….here’s your receipt “ and it’s only then you see itAnd second the food is excellent, but it’s also touching on the over price index… I had a soup, special meatball sub, beans on toast and egg on toast ( both for kids ) and it was in the £40 mark…yeah typically £10 a head is good .. but that didnt include drinks and the egg on toast … is juts egg on toast ( cabbatta bread … which is a child first choice for toast “ sarcasm” )And beans on toast … which is just the most pretentious mix of chick peas and other stuff…. I mean it’s nice …. But what kid is sitting there thinking “ ohh beans … I hope they added chick peas “ but this time it was on rubbish white bread …. a peace of white with a dollop of beans on it …..when you see it laid out you kind of realise how little they offer for the £40The sustainability talk we got because the menu is heavily vegetarian ( which is great ….is kind of cancelled out by the full English and beef meat balls they serve ) lots of niggles like that stand out when maybe they shouldn’t…it wins here and there but knee Capps it self over and over again….I don’t want to put people off, support the tetley, it’s a great place, good people and nice atmosphere…but just be aware with kids you probably need a sandwich in the bag ready, check menu online or call them, the specials change and the tip is added any way …. Sorry “ service charge “ ….

Amazing building, brilliant art and the food is incredible. The brunch is a little fine dining twist on classic English breakfast food which is perfectly done. Brilliant mixture of art too!

I took my dad here for a surprise and random drink. He LOVES a Tetley hand pump and worked as an engineer on the building when he was younger. When the staff found out ESPECIALLY Stephen with a PH ???? they went above and beyond to serve my dad and made him feel appreciated and loved on his 72nd bday.Thanks to all the staff especially Stephen xx

Chilled place to eat lunch/brunch. Food was spot on, polite servers and not too long to wait. only downside was the automatic adding of a service charge on the bill. Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait … More
