About this place Fibre

Fibre is the most prominent gay venue on Lower Briggate — Leeds' main LGBTQ+ street, running south from the city centre towards the river. The bar occupies a prominent corner position with a large terrace, open from noon daily, making it the first port of call for any LGBTQ+ visitor to Leeds. Two floors: the ground floor bar is relaxed and accessible; the upper floor and terrace become more lively on Thursday–Saturday evenings when DJs begin. The crowd is mixed — gay men, queer women, trans people, allies — reflecting Leeds' broadly inclusive queer scene. Not a specialist venue in any specific sense; its role is as the community gathering point for a city without the critical mass to sustain multiple specialist spaces. Fibre coordinates with the Leeds Pride organisers and is the hub of the Pride week activity.

Went at the weekend 29th may 2026 all I can say is place has changed a lot used to go every weekend and it’s been a while since we’ve been won’t be going back since it was full of travelers , door staff made no attempt to stop guys coming in with only shorts on no tops was a real bear pit atmosphere so much so we left real shame to say we used to have vip there and had some great times one thing I will say 5 stars for music and venue just get the clientele in order pointless dressing up if door staff are afraid to turn away or remove undesirables

I am writing to express my significant disappointment with the service I received during my recent visit. Upon arrival, my request to use the cloakroom was met with what felt like disdain from staff, who made me feel as though I was an inconvenience. Furthermore, I was charged £5 to store my items, which was unexpected and contributed to a poor initial impression. Later, while I was speaking with friends from the side of the bar, near a staff access point, I was unexpectedly grabbed by a bouncer who seemingly assumed I was attempting to go behind the bar. This incident was both unwarranted and distressing. Overall, the level of service from start to finish was deeply unsatisfactory, and these experiences significantly detracted from my visit.
