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

Palm Sugar

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

Wetherspoon’s — The Cuthbert Brodrick

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

Sandinista!

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

The Scarbrough Hotel

The Scabby Taps is famous and rightly busy, but still has charm and good beer.

The Restaurant Bar & Grill

In our eyes, the fantastic location and gorgeous building are the only things this suit-magnet has going for it.

The Reliance

The most beautiful bar we’ve seen yet, with a beautiful beer selection to match. A couple of niggles prevent it from ranking at the very top.

The Grove Inn

A gem of a local pub, tucked away behind Bridgewater Place.

Full Review

The Cross Keys

A gastropub with a great beer selection, traditional inn feel, and an important place in Industrial Revolution history.

The Midnight Bell

Leeds Brewery’s flagship pub is always really busy, but if you can get to the bar there’s a good selection of beer and decent food on offer.

The New Conservatory

The most central bar in Leeds has a surprisingly secret feel and great amenities.

Toast Bar + Bistro

An upmarket football bar focusing on cocktails — nothing special to bring us rushing back.

The Riverside

Looks like it’s for the staff of the office block above, but is actually a very pleasant spot to relax by the river.

Wetherspoon’s, Railway Station

A great selection of cask ales, if you can make it through the sea of sports fans and hen nights to get to the bar.
