The New Penny

Awful staff and awful drinks

Disgusting behaviour from young english doorman tonight, paid entry and bought 2 drinks, my partner went to toilet and when came back was told needed to go outside to be searched? He refused as was no reason or explanation why this was happening and seemed racist as he is foreign and we are a straight couple on a normal night out. This has been reported to police tonight. The doorman then started swearing at us, said does not care about police or management!

Was there Sunday great night music was good drinks were cheap

Always feel my happiest here. Mo loves a bit of new penny action 🤞🏼

⚠️ Safety Warning for LGBTQ+ Community in Leeds — Our Experience at a Local Bar The New Penny I’m sharing this publicly because I don’t want anyone else in our community to go through what my fiancé and I experienced. Recently, while visiting a well-known gay bar in Leeds, my fiancé and I were subjected to physical and verbal abuse, including homophobic slurs, by staff members. We did not act violently or physically in return. During the incident, my fiancé was lifted up and thrown to the ground, and we were punched multiple times in the face. We were shocked and terrified — especially because this happened in a place where LGBTQ+ people should feel safe. We immediately reported what happened to the police, but so far it doesn’t seem like much is being done. Because of that, I feel it’s important to share our experience publicly so others in the community, especially vulnerable people, are aware and can stay safe. This is our personal account of what happened, and we hope that by speaking out, steps will be taken to ensure that no one else is put at risk. LGBTQ+ venues should be safe spaces for everyone. If anyone else has had similar experiences, please speak up — your voice matters.

If I could give no stars I would, my friend and his partner was both attacked completely unprovoked this is meant to be a place that you are safe and you can be whoever you wish to be. Not the first time this has happened ! Don’t go near this place

The atmosphere and people are good and the drinks are cheap ! But the bouncers are very rude. We went out for a cigarette and got accused of stealing someone’s pack of cigarettes even though we was outside for maybe 20 seconds. And then when we said we didn’t we were questioned as if we was lying then told to give them back ? They then said they’re gonna check the cameras further accusing us and of course they found nothing. Way too aggressive and rude.

The staff at the establishment are amazing. So kind and helpful when it came to stressful situation couldn’t thank them enough.
