What it’s like
This one's an 18+ venue in Leeds city centre with a free bar buffet at silly o'clock, not somewhere for the kids.
This is an adults-only gaming venue right by Leeds train station, so if you were hoping for a family activity, this isn't it. You've got to be 18 and they will ask for ID if you look under 25, driving licence, passport or a CitizenCard will do.
It's open all night, every night, and getting in costs nothing. No membership, no booking, you just walk in. There's a bar and restaurant doing everything from snacks to full meals, and if you're still up at half eleven on a Sunday there's a free buffet running until half one in the morning, which is a proper night-owl detail if that's your sort of evening.
Parking's at the Victoria Leeds car park, and if you've got a loyalty card it's £3 overnight from 5pm to 8am. It's step-free throughout, and with the train station a ten-minute walk away and buses on Eastgate, you don't need a car anyway.
Given the age limit, there's genuinely nothing here for children, not even a play area or family menu mentioned. File this one under "night out without the kids", not a day out with them.
