Headrow House is a renowned nightlife venue and cultural hotspot located in the heart of
Leeds, United Kingdom. Housed in a converted former textile mill on The Headrow, one of the city's busiest streets, Headrow House has played a significant role in the urban rejuvenation of
Leeds since its opening in 2015. The venue is the creation of the team behind Belgrave Music Hall (another
Leeds icon), and it has quickly established itself as a vibrant, multi-purpose space that combines nightlife, live music, food, and art.
The building itself is a testament to
Leeds' industrial heritage, retaining original features such as exposed brickwork and large, factory-style windows while blending contemporary design elements across its four floors. These include a beer hall, a cocktail bar, the acclaimed Ox Club restaurant, and an expansive rooftop
terrace with panoramic city views.
Culturally, Headrow House has earned a reputation as one of
Leeds' most innovative venues, drawing crowds for its eclectic programming and community-focused ethos.
It's admired for its championing of independent music, art scenes, and its support for both grassroots and established artists. The venue regularly hosts club nights, live gigs, DJ sets, and art exhibitions, contributing significantly to the ongoing dynamism of
Leeds’ social and creative landscape. Since its establishment, Headrow House has remained at its original location but has periodically undergone internal refurbishments and expansions to accommodate new concepts, technologies, and increased visitor demand.
