Tucked away above the bustle of Merrion Street, The Attic is one of Leeds’ most distinctive small venues – intimate, unpretentious, and steeped in DIY spirit. Its low-lit space and stripped-back aesthetic keep the focus where it matters: on the music. From underground club nights to leftfield live acts, The Attic champions artists who thrive outside the mainstream, drawing in a crowd that’s here for discovery over spectacle. With a carefully tuned sound system and a bar serving local favourites, it’s the kind of place where you come for one band and leave with three new obsessions.
