The area has an established local centre, which is situated around the junction of Stainbeck Lane and Harrogate Road. This consists of a Co-op supermarket, a post office, several banks, several restaurants as well as many pubs and bars. The Regent is one of the oldest pubs in Chapel Allerton and has been home to Leeds' longest running "semi-legendary music quiz" since 1994 every Tuesday evening. The Three Hulats Pub is a J.D Wetherspoons Freehouse and other pubs include The Queens Arms, The Mustard Pot and The Suburban Style Bar. There is also a large Caffe Nero. There is a large Lidl store on Harrogate Road.
The former police station is now a bar and restaurant, with the new police station further down Stainbeck Lane on the junction with Scott Hall Road. Originally called Chapeltown Police Station, it was renamed due to its misleading name to Stainbeck Police Station following the merger of two former divisions in 2006. Officially opened on 16 November 1998, Stainbeck Police Station is divisional headquarters for the large North East Leeds division, covering as far out as Wetherby.
There are also many takeaways, a library, petrol station and many other independent shops. The council have allowed many cafes, bars and restaurants to utilise pavement space creating a pavement cafe culture in the area. Many of the shops are chains, such as Greggs (formerly Thurstons), Pizza Hut and Caffe Nero.
Chapel Allerton Lawn Tennis and Squash Club is hidden away at the back of the square, behind the Mustard Pot pub. The Club is in fact 128 years old.
