Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

The Pack Horse

In an alley off Briggate, The Pack Horse surprised us with its pleasant atmosphere and excellent beer selection.

Nation of Shopkeepers

A list of amenities as long as my arm, but are all the hats and the beards too offputting?

Mojo: Music for the People

One of many bars along this stretch, this American-inspired nightspot definitely has its music mojo working.

Full Review

The Victoria Hotel

There’s more to The Victoria Hotel than 150-year-old décor (although that’s lovely too).

…escobar

…It’s really dark in here!

Full Review

Mayaimi

Trying to be the Hottest Spot North of Havana, this new nightclub falls a bit short on our criteria.

Full Review

Cuvée

Granary Wharf’s champagne bar certainly looks and feels the part. And we aren’t the part.

Full Review

The Pour House

A brand new spot on Granary Wharf, with great food, beautiful views, and an OK-ish beer selection.

Full Review

Town Hall Tavern

A completely refurbished gastropub offering traditional Yorkshire food and Timothy Taylor ales.

Full Review

Wetherspoon’s — Stick or Twist

Leeds’s earliest Wetherspoon’s pub is hiding in a forgotten part of town, but they haven’t forgotten about great service and beer.

Full Review

Henry’s Café Bar

Ever wanted to go to a hotel bar that wasn’t in a hotel? Henry’s is for you!

Full Review

The George

A charming pub with a local feel and plenty of cask ales.

Full Review

Palm Sugar

Chaophraya’s new upscale lounge bar with a mediocre beer selection and an inexplicably strong lemon smell.

Full Review

Outlaws Yacht Club

Leeds’s newest social club is in a hair salon, but as well as cut & blow dry there’s a nice beer menu and atmosphere to be found inside.

Full Review

Wetherspoon’s — The Cuthbert Brodrick

All the trappings of a Wetherspoon’s, plus a great setting and a bit of a local feel.

Full Review

Parkers

A brand new bar in the middle of the Financial Quarter. Trying to appeal to people who aren’t us, but has a surprising character of its own.

Full Review

Mr Foley’s Cask Ale House

One of our favourite places in Leeds. Unpretentious pub in a great location with an amazing beer selection.

Full Review

Sandinista!

A lively cantina bar with excellent tapas and a not-too-bad beer selection.

Full Review

The Prince of Wales

Another Leeds United pub along Mill Hill with a few decent beers. Not much more to say.

Full Review

Spencer’s

Unremarkable but pleasant enough United supporters’ pub. Stay away from the toilets!
