Preston Bar

A little bit of Leeds’ legendary North Bar in the suburb of Oakwood. A hop, skip, and a jump from the gorgeous Roundhay Park, Preston is the perfect spot for visitors, families, and the discerning drinker.

A fabulous selection, knowledgable and enthusiastic staff, and a beautiful setting make Preston a must for any trip to Roundhay. Opened in 2013, Preston is the most recent member to the North Bar family to spread the love to the different areas of Leeds.

Preston taps into the heritage of Oakwood, named after Thomas Preston, a grocer from Chapel Allerton who built the building in 1898. When he died in 1902, his son, Thomas Issott Preston, a chemist, occupied the premises for over three decades. The mosaic floor at the door’s threshold, emblazoned with the name ‘Preston’, dates from this period.
