Hmm, as far as I can remember its roughly in the middle, to the right of where it says university road entrance. Best bet is to speak to someone at the Uni ( ring the reception? ).

Its pretty easy to find if your in the right area.

Good gig venue though, not been for ages unfortunatley.

aye, got through a lovely girl who gave the following:

"From Leeds City Centre, head north on Woodhouse Lane towards Headingley. You will pass Leeds Metropolitan University on your left hand side and will cross the inner city loop road. You will see the University of Leeds' Parkinson Steps and Clock Tower straight ahead and will pass them on your left. Bear left around the main campus and go past The Eldon and The Packhorse pubs on your right. Get in the left hand lane at the traffic lights and turn left onto Clarendon Road before The Library Pub. You will pass Henry Price Hall of residence on your left. At the next set of traffic lights, turn left onto University Road, turn right and then immediately left onto Lifton Place. All of our venues are in the student union building at the bottom of Lifton Place."

Green bit of grass in the middle of the image.
The buildings in brown north of the grass is the uni-bars.
I normally go to the Wendy house (Goth/80's) night.
Very entertaining

Mine Bar is downstairs in the main student union building. Through the main doors and downstairs into the bowels of the building!! We had an awards ceremony in Mine last summer, it is a decent venue too!

Not only those but also Led Zep, The Who, etc

There is a stylish but quite useless map of the union HERE and a more helpful campus map HERE Alternatively there is an aerial view HERE on local.live.com.

I really miss Leeds Uni Union
