A cannabis 'grinder' tool was also recovered along with 1,500 in cash.
No arrests were made during the raid, which was carried out by Leeds's city neighbourhood policing team.
West Yorkshire Police's Chief Inspector Vernon Francis said: "The main purpose of the (operation] was to disrupt drugs activity in this club.
"Judging by the valuable quantities thrown on the floor, I believe we
achieved this."
The police's Leeds district licensing department is due to file a
report to the West Yorkshire fire service on safety concerns raised by the raid.
They include poor lighting in some parts of the club and fire sprinklers being covered with plastic sheeting.
