The Lazy Lounge was an amazing venue to celebrate my 30th. Gorgeous layout with cosy fairy lights. The staff were professional, friendly and approachable and couldn’t have been more pleasant to work with. Would recommend this venue to anyone and certainly would book again for future events. Thank you for a special evening!

Verified Reviews of Minimum Spend Venues in Leeds
The venue was perfect, we were all impressed with the styling of the venue. the staff were lovely and very helpful from the start. Good communication and response times. No fee or minimum spend as our party was on a Sunday afternoon.
Alicia was so helpful helping us curate a baby shower event for 2 of my friends. We had the venue to our self with no room deposit hire fee, the food and drink were excellent, as were the vibes and the helpful staff. The afternoon tea was really nice and food was plentiful. It was really nice to have mocktails on offer and non alcoholic Prosecco. We needed an accessible venue to a disabled guest and it couldn’t have been easier. Nyla’s also prepared her a separate meal. I’d absolutely love to host another event here or visit on an evening for a drink.
Good sized venue for hosting the amount of people that we had and nice outdoor area. Managers very helpful.
The venue was perfect for my friends party. The team were quick to respond to queries and we were able to decorate the space to really make it our own. Would highly recommend!
Really great venue for a suprise birthday party catering provided was really good value and the staff were accommodating and we all had a fun evening
The room itself was great. Loved the look of it and it was perfect for our party size! Great location, easy to get to.
Amazing night for my birthday, bar staff were absolutely amazing and so friendly/helpful, there were only 2 girls on the bar and they did such a good job at catering to everyone’s needs. The venue itself is stunning, so much room and plenty of seating for everyone.
