Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Hirst’s Yard

Lots of local bottles, a charming atmosphere and live music. The only thing maybe not to like too much are the prices.

The Reform

Free pizza with every drink? Why not!

Whitelock’s Ale House

Claiming to be Leeds’s oldest pub, Whitelock’s can boast the historic honour of being our 150th review.

The Highland

A charming little pub in the casino-filled no-man’s land between Burley and Kirkstall Roads.

Full Review

Angelica

Atop Trinity shopping centre, this bar will delight those who love a good roof garden.

Full Review

Baa Bar

A haven for lovers of rainbow-coloured shooters, but with a surprising range of craft beers too.

Full Review

The Ship

An 18th-century pub with an acceptable selection of cask ales, but not much more.

Full Review

All Bar One — Greek Street

One of the two All Bar Ones in Leeds, and definitely the less interesting of the two.

Full Review

The Tetley Bar and Kitchen

The headquarters of the old Tetley Brewery — now an art space, bar and restaurant.

Full Review

The Maven

A speakeasy with plenty of atmosphere and cocktails, just not too much in the way of beer.

Full Review

The Living Room

An astoundingly uninteresting Greek Street venue, with a beer selection to match.

Full Review

Roxy Ball Room

A huge new venue with ping pong, pool and bowling, along with some great beer choices!

Full Review

Lazy Lounge

A popular corporate-ish spot with a recently improved selection of brews.

Full Review

Shooters Sports Bar

This place has an awesomely good array of sports, and an awesomely bad array of beers.

Notes

If you’re in Trinity Kitchen and want a bottle of ale, this is the place to go.

Blind Tyger Drinking Den

Pretension, pretension, burning bright…

Full Review

West Riding

A nicely renovated pub right near the station, with a rather lacklustre selection of beer.

Full Review

The Merchant

A student chain pub, serving dirty food and dirty beer.

Full Review

Bibis Italianissimo

If it walks like a cruise ship and talks like a cruise ship, it’s probably Bibis Italianissimo.

Full Review

The Pit

True to its name, this underground venue offers a great range of craft kegs and bottles, as well as ping pong and American-style BBQ.
