Moot Hall Arms unveils six-figure transformation including major upgrade to Leeds United viewing experience
“We've managed to make The Moot bigger, better and more versatile, while keeping everything people love about it” 💛💙
A pub dedicated to Leeds United in Leeds city centre has reopened its doors today (August 21) following a six-figure renovation.
The Moot Hall Arms, located on Mill Hill, has welcomed guests back following its refurbishment which includes upgraded facilities and increased capacity.
A brand new upstairs bar and event space, The Changing Rooms, has been created as part of the transformation to celebrate the rich history and culture of Leeds United and create a dedicated space for private functions.
Claire, Operator at The Moot Hall Arms, said: “We're absolutely delighted to be reopening and finally showing everyone what we've been working on.
“Over the last five years we've worked extremely hard to build The Moot into something special. We're proud of the community that's grown around the pub, the friendships that have been made here and the reputation we've built among Leeds United supporters.
“This investment is a huge vote of confidence in the pub and what it has become. We've managed to make The Moot bigger, better and more versatile, while keeping everything people love about it.”
The Moot Hall Arms is well-known in Leeds as one of the city’s most popular matchday destinations, and is filled with Leeds United memorabilia including vintage flags, scarves, and signed shirts.
The reopening will be celebrated with a packed programme of events over the next two weekends, including live music, DJs, and special guest appearances from former Leeds United favourites Stuart Dallas, Mel Sterland and Noel Whelan.
The renovation of The Moot Hall Arms has particularly focused on upgrading the sports viewing experience.
The pub now boasts nine TVs, two large projector screens and three Sky boxes, enabling multiple sporting events to be shown.
The new Changing Rooms bar provides additional capacity on busy matchdays while also creating a dedicated space for private functions, charity events, book launches, comedy nights, live music, community gatherings and special guest appearances.
Claire said: “We want The Moot to be much more than somewhere people simply come for a drink. Our ambition is to be one of Leeds city centre's best-value sports and entertainment venues, with something happening every day of the week.”
For Claire and her team, the most important thing is ensuring The Moot remains true to its roots.
She said: “We’re passionate about keeping the Moot accessible and affordable. At a time when customers are watching what they spend, we want people to know they can still come into the centre of Leeds, have a reasonably priced pint, watch live sport and enjoy entertainment without spending a fortune.
“Most importantly, we want The Moot to retain its personality. It’s still going to be loud on matchdays, full of Leeds United memorabilia, packed for big games, raising money for good causes and putting on entertainment throughout the week – there’s just a lot more of it now!”
