Seven Arts Centre, Chapel Allerton, Leeds

Lovely, cosy, tasty, not pricey. Cupcakes and biscuits at the bar, fun atmosphere, child friendly during the day and a buzzing place to be at night. Dedicated arts space also, and my favourite haunt in Chapel A. Simply a wonderful place.

Great arts centre and bar in lively Chapel Allerton. Serves good food (Pie and peas £4.50) and there are plenty of interesting artsy things going on in the spacious arts space or stylish glass-fronted bar area (film, music, theatre and more). Has fast become my favourite hang-out in Leeds...

Largest beer garden in Headingley. It’s great in the summer, cheep drinks and food, and for pub food it’s good too. Thursdays hold a comedy night which has some big names. Good Pub!

Seven Arts Cenre in Chapel Allerton is just up Harrogate road about 5 minutes drive or 10 - 15 minutes on the bus up the road from the City Centre. It is a bit of a hidden gem and is located next door to the Casa Mia Grande. It is a fair sized locaton and they often do jazz music nights, book and poetry readings, show films of cultural interest and hold lots more events which are very popular with Chapel Allerton residents who like the chilled out atmosphere and a glass or two of wine. You can find out what is on by searching the net. The staff are really nice and the prices are pretty good for the area. I would say have a look and see if there is anything you are interested in. It is well worth it.

I love the way this place is subtle and understated from the road. The floor to ceiling windows create an inviting feeling, as tho you are already there… come on in :) The leafy street shelters you from the road. The staff are friendly and pleasing on the eye. Am I allowed to say that?! Good selection of continental beers and great food menu. Food is served until 9pm. The tables are solid and the long tables are actually great for getting people talking, but if you’re deep in conversation, you can let the ambient background sweep over you. The food is modern, homely and tasty. Prices are around £8-10 for a main meal and smaller things for about £4-5. Fairly priced.

There is a big room adjacent to the bar, hidden behind a door you don’t even notice until it’s opened to reveal a dark, intriguing space. This is were they have bands, singers, poetry reading, cultural discussions and Monday night film showings. Such a versatile space. You get a different feeling from this place everytime you go. Great for reading the paper on a lazy Saturday morning :)

Seven is a great addition to Chapel Allerton. Its a lot different to the rest of the bars and cafes and all the better for it.

The bar / cafe has a great selection of drinks, ales being my favorite. The food is always really spot on, especially the home made cakes.

There is so much going on at the centre its hard to list it all here. They put on comedy nights, film nights, music, theatre and much more. With all this going on I sometimes just like to go in at the weekend and a have drink and read the paper.

Cracking bar, restaurant, cafe and arts centre in leafy Chapel A - LS7 Heaven as the locals call it, er, I think. My good friend Penny, a stalwart of the local arts scene and organiser of the renowned Chapel Allerton Arts Festival, the urban Glastonbury, took the plunge a couple of years ago and set up this place. And now, no one can chuck her out of the bar, because it’s her bar.

There’s a regular calendar of arty events, but if you’re just there for the bitter and chat, you won’t be disappointed either.

Now before I start I have to say this is the first place I’ve visited off the back of Qype reviews and boy did you people do good!

Really cool little place, went on a Sunday to the Jazz - saw ‘Misinterprotato’ - Sean Foran, Joost Hendrickx and Rus Pearson - they where really good!

The staff were brilliant from the guy who took our money, £3!! - how incredibly cheep! to the girl behind the bar, who even gave us suggestions of other place to try. This place is really friendly and inviting, you can tell by the clientele - old guys with their beer to families with children, there was even an baby in the audience!

Food was delicious - we had a soup each and a Welsh rabit to share - the rabit was huge! All decently priced. They even let you eat in the hall where the Jazz is.

After it had finished we stayed on in the bar/restaurant area and had a coffee. Was truly a lovely afternoon. Pity we don’t live nearer!

PS the £3 also enters you into a raffle to win a bottle of wine!

Great place, great atmosphere. A must visit…

Excellent bar and arts space in North Leeds. Good range of food and reasonably priced with an ever changing menu. Friendly staff well managed by Rob. Good, often very good, jazz on Sunday lunchtime. Comedy, films and other music make for plenty to choose from.

I don't live in leeds anymore but every time I visit I go here. Arts centre that has been open since July with events on nearly every night including theatre, cinema and jazz. Bar area that acts as restaurant, bar and cafe and does all of them well. Amazing food at very reasonable prices all day long.
Went to watch the jazz (Dudley Nesbitt) on Sunday, it was brilliant. Stayed all day sampling wines and dishes from the menu. The best way to spend a Sunday.
Pay a visit and soon.
