About Blayds Bar

Tucked away in Blayds Yard, just off Lower Briggate in Leeds, Blayds Bar has been a cornerstone of the city's LGBTQ+ scene for over three decades. This intimate venue offers a welcoming atmosphere with a variety of nightly events, including quizzes, karaoke, and club nights. A daily happy hour runs from 5 pm to 9 pm, providing affordable drink options for patrons. The bar features a compact dance floor and an outdoor courtyard, creating a cozy yet lively environment. While the beer selection is limited, the focus is on spirits, with vodka even available on tap. Blayds Bar has recently secured a new premises license, ensuring its continued operation despite challenges in the local licensing landscape.

A quiet intimate gay bar right in the middle of Leeds gay quarter, hidden down a alleyway but worth checking it out. Yeah the place hasn't really changed in the last 30 years since it opened but that's the appeal, I would say it's where the older ( 40+) generation hang out. Can be a bit quiet but usually fills up at the weekend. Very friendly and chatty bar staff, price for price I'd say it's on par with any other pubin Leeds for prices. Definitely recommend a visit

Always a fab vibe in this amazing little bar. Perfect for if your on your own or in a group. The staff always make you feel welcome. Banter is always a given & the djs r just awesome. Equality, divers & open to all with no judgement. Which is what you want & whats needed from any gay bar
