    Absolutely awesome place!! Great atmosphere, great selection of games and consoles, and the staff are SO NICE 😭 so unbelievably kind and friendly, also really sweet and patient with the kids that I could see them helping out. Oh and super delicious drinks too. 100 million billion% recommend :)

    Okay, this place in incredible. Nerd that I am, I enjoyed the games going on, but even without that I had delicious cocktails here on two different days. The cocktails were 2 for nine quid, which is outstanding value. They were also delicious and the theatre of the creeper cocktail was worthy of a fancy bar charging much more If I was staying in Leeds longer, we would have gone every night. Would absolutely recommend.

    Really nicely decorated video game themed bar, with a great and imaginative cocktail selection and some good draught beer choices (including Corona draught which we don't see too often around here!) Video game consoles and PC gaming is set up around the bar for patrons to play, some charged by the hour (very reasonable rate) and some free play, including modern consoles and, my favourite, retro gaming. It has a fantastic atmosphere, friendly, attentive staff and a fun pop-punk soundtrack in the background. My only complaint? I feel like they should mix some video game soundtrack music into the playlist! But apart from this, I will definitely be back again - next time I attend I will be hiring a booth and open to challenges on Smash Bros!

    Stumbled across this place today. So much retro fun with arcade games. Staff were lovely and two cocktails for £10 was very welcome. Really great themed retro bar

    Great place for an afternoon session with friends! It has it all really, food from Almost Famous, delicious, reasonably priced cocktails, great selection of beers on draft, and enough games to shake a stick at, what’s not to love?! Big fan of the Pokémon card cocktails! Highly recommend!

    Very cool and niche gaming bar at a great price, both for cocktails and the actually gaming. There were switches, PS4s with a wide range of party games (fifa, smash bros, Mario kart...). Also a nice touch is the TVs streaming twitch dotted around. You can get 2 cocktails for £10 for happy hour or all night if you're a student. The staff and super chill, friendly and are super quick with orders even in the busier periods.

    Best bar in Leeds! Geeky gamer bar where you can get game themed cocktails and all sorts of drinks. Booths for hire or play video games and board games for free. Pokemon all over the place and cool decor and artwork. Friendly bartenders and atmosphere, I love this place!

    This is an absolute gem of a place. Good price on cocktails, comfortable seating where you can book your own booth to play games and the staff are really nice and friendly. We had an issue with ordering food from the kitchen upstairs(not linked to Pixel) but Kieran who worked at Pixel was very apologetic and gave us an experience to remember for my birthday. THANK YOU so much.

    Whilst the photo doesn't do this place any justice I thought I'd post anyway. First time visiting here and definitely won't be the last. Really friendy staff, cool people, unique theme and as soon as Point North - Never coming home came I knew this place had passed the vibe check. Highly recommend 🤟

    Brilliant atmosphere with compact, snug gaming booths. Things are somewhat expensive though and to access the food menu you have to be tech savvy/have the QR code app... The White Chocobo was nice, likewise with the fruity Heart Piece.

    We've been to plenty of gaming bars before, but never to any of the Pixel Bars. They've always been lackluster, but going here was a great choice. There are a ton of game inspired cocktails, a great variety of drinks, and plenty of games to play if you're into it. Pixel Bar is a great place whether you're into video games or not and can give some great times playing casual games with anyone who isn't a gamer.

    Staff were so friendly and helpful and accommodated us at really short notice. They were great with our 8yo and gave extra pokemon cards with his mocktail. Great value for money and good choice of cocktails. Will be back for sure.

    We booked here for my best friend’s stag do and it was absolutely ideal. The console booths are totally fantastic and we spent two terrific hours playing four player madness while drinking gaming-themed cocktails. Drinks are not cheap, but are in line with other bars in the area and they have offers on to keep the price lower. The staff are friendly, cheerful and helpful even at its busiest times. Highly recommended!

    Had a great time here on Saturday! The staff are super polite and friendly, they accommodated a large group booking on a Saturday afternoon and made the trip awesome :) thank you so much guys! Been here quite a few times and they have a great selection of drinks, board games, consoles and PCs and as a bonus, serve Almost Famous burgers from the kitchen upstairs. Would 100% recommend!

    OMG, this bar is such a cool place to be. There is a wide range of alcoholic / non alcoholic drinks to choose from, and whilst drinking, you can play your favourite video games. There is a great selection of games to play, so you can meet up with friends to battle it out over a game of (eg.) Mario Kart together! Cool music playing in the background as well - not too loud which is great for neuro-divergent people like me. I chose to order a Pokemon Trainer Strawberry Mocktail + it was very tasty. The Pokemon card on the side just to the kitchness of the bar and the atmosphere. Added bonus ... you can order hot food from the bar too. I decided to get the Phoenix almost famous Burger with bacon bacon fries (so good they named them twice!), and they were both sooooo good! Plenty of bacon on the fries, and the added frazzle crisps on the burger was just nostalgic. Recommended to everyone who likes playing video games, and hanging out in a cool bar.

    Amazing place. Can't wait to visit again. Drinks were really well priced with great offers and awesome presentation. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    I recently visited Pixel Bar in Leeds and had a fantastic experience. The 2-4-1 cocktail deal was a great value, and the cocktails themselves were delicious. I especially enjoyed the gaming-themed drinks, adding a fun and unique touch to the overall atmosphere. The combination of good drinks and a gaming theme makes Pixel Bar a standout spot in Leeds for a night out.

    This place is brill! The staff are all really friendly and they know their way around a cocktail! Amazing cocktails and amazing vibe. Great for kids and adults, although kids do have to leave on an evening. Our new favourite place for 2 for 1 cocktails!

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 10 months ago on Google
    Had been meaning to visit here for quite a while but only just found the opportunity. Cocktails 2 for 1 all the time with a student card, or until 9pm otherwise. Was quite busy when we arrived about 11pm on a Saturday but not so busy we couldn’t find a table. Really loved the atmosphere, everyone seemed to be having a good time.

  • 5/5 Laura B. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere is very cool! The consoles are super busy so make sure to book if you want some time with friends to play. Cocktails are creative and fun!

    On stag weekend and gamers, passed by this bar Saturday midday, 11of us thankfully they had the D&D table free, loved it and spent the next 4hours and alot of ££, great atmosphere, fantastic staff. And a fun selection of game theme drinks.. Personally loved the "Who's that Pokémon" and the mana/health elixirs.. :) Need one in Norwich, would be there every weekend ;)

  • 5/5 Mimi V. 1 year ago on Google
    Oml I’m really not a party person nor do I drink very often at all, but I had to go when I heard that they had a FF themed chocobo drink! But this place really exceeded any expectations I had. I felt so comfortable from the get-go since the bouncer didn’t hesitate to turn away suspicious groups of people at the door. (Ie. Large groups of exclusively men who look like they’ve already had a few drinks) I really felt at home here, loved their sweet drinks (2 for 10£ all night) and the care from the staff! Our group didn’t have a reservation but we got to be waitlisted for any available consoles, and had free access to board games until then. Definitely coming back again soon, and sorry for the blurry pics I was so excited lol
