The Place

Converted from an old boat, Dry Dock is unique as it doubles as a bar/restaurant during the day and a party boat by night.

Originally a sand and gravel barge called “Lambda”, then transformed into a pub in 1993 after being plucked from the River Aire by crane near Clarence Dock.

After being lifted from the water, the Lambda was carefully lowered onto a low loader and transported with a police escort to its new home on Woodhouse Lane, creating quite a spectacle for onlookers.

The project initially faced resistance, with the pub originally intended as a temporary installation. Local opposition was vocal, with some residents concerned about the unusual addition to the cityscape, particularly given its proximity to the Woodhouse Lane multi-storey car park.

Despite early scepticism, the Dry Dock has become a beloved fixture in Leeds’ entertainment scene for over three decades.
