Big, commercial club venue |
9 Kirkstall Road Leeds LS4 2DG United Kingdom +44 113 263 2632 |
One of the city's many gigantic purpose-built clubbing venues for really commercial club nights, Evolution doesn't have half the character of a lot of Leeds' smaller clubs. Its size does have advantages, though - the massive numbers it packs in means that you can see top DJs for a lot less than you'd pay in other places. A range of Asian-inspired club nights are also held here, often with a bhangra and R'n'B vibe. Courtesy coaches run to Evolution from City Square every 15 minutes on Saturday night from 9.30pm till midnight. The club requests smart attire with no jeans or trainers/sneakers.

Popular with students |
Bennett Road Headingley Leeds LS6 3HN United Kingdom |
'The Taps', as it is affectionately known, is a big noisy pub in a big old building in Headingley, with a big car park at the front. It is surprisingly small inside, giving the place a cosy, homely feel that you just don't get in many pubs in this area. It's not quite as popular as Headingley's two main pubs - the Original Oak and the Skyrack - so it's ideal for a quiet drink away from the rabble. It's a different story at the weekend though, when people flock here to watch big matches on big screens and down a pint or five. Karaoke nights on Thursday and Sunday are always great fun.

Huge pub, popular with students |
2 Otley Road Headingley Leeds LS6 2DG United Kingdom +44 113 275 1322 |
'The Oak' - as it is known - is one of the largest pubs in Leeds, with four bars, several function rooms, and a huge beer garden lawn complete with over 20 picnic tables. It is a student pub first and foremost, and a busy one at that. On weekends, and for the satellite sports events, the pub is packed and not a pleasant place for a quiet drink. The atmosphere is good, however. A few events like the Monday night quiz evening (from 9p) draw a friendly crowd. The menu is confined to hamburgers and hot dogs, and is only available at lunchtime (around midday till 2:30p). During the summer, a barbecue offers a few more food options on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Busy Headingley student pub |
2 St Michael's Road Headingley Leeds LS6 3AW United Kingdom +44 113 278 5836 |
One of the most well-established student pubs in Headingley, Skyrack is a very large place indeed, with numerous different rooms and a big beer garden in the front. It is busy all through the week, with people enjoying a quick drink. At the weekend, it's a popular place to go to watch the football on the big screen television. Bar snacks such as toasties are served until around an hour before closing time. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Two pleasant beer gardens |
104 Otley Road Headingley Leeds LS16 5JG United Kingdom +44 113 278 4393 / +44 113 275 7838 |
Friendly staff preside over one of Headingley's top pubs, which attracts a loyal local and student crowd. The pub's interior is warm and inviting, with a few televisions showing live football and satellite sports as the need arises. Very cheap lunches are served at the pub from midday to 3p. Dishes include chips topped with cheese, chilli and chips, half a roast chicken and chips. The big breakfast—sausages, bacon, eggs, fried bread and beans, and chips—is a good choice if you are feeling peckish. Review © 2007, Wcities |
