The Drink
Get merry at the Old Bar on pitchers, spirits and mixers, bottles and cans of locally brewed ales.

The Place
Without a recent refurb there’s plenty of plush seating space in front of TVs playing live sport.
Week nights come tastefully themed: Tuesday sports, Thursday quiz night and Sunday craft club.
The highlight of the week is ‘Fruity’ Friday – at pushing 20-years old it’s the longest running student club night. Come for three different rooms of non-stop fruity tunes!
The Old Bar is also one stop off on the Otley Run. Pick between here and The Terrace.
The Location

History
Leeds University Union has made a home in the Old Bar. Originally founded at the Yorkshire College Students Association in 1877.
Various collections of the townhouses were used as common rooms, before the University Union was built and completed in 1939.
The Old Bar and Union building was only made possible by a generous financial donation from a W Riley-Smith of Tadcaster.
