Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

53° North

A high-end cocktail nightspot in the financial district. Not really our scene, and not enough beers to get us back.

The Old Red Bus Station

A new bar and venue in the renovated old bus station. A bit blah, overall.

You know what Leeds needs? A Johnny Cash theme bar!

There’s actually a bar in Leeds Dock! Imagine that.

Khao San Bar

Er… we don’t really know what we just experienced.

314 In Progress

This fashionable cocktail bar & club isn’t really our scene but has surprisingly good beer.

A pretty boring Call Lane bar/club with some good beers. Not good enough to draw us in, though.

Milo

One of the top indie hangouts in Leeds with a decent selection of beers to boot.

Full Review

Baracoa Luxe Bar

A Call Lane dance club for people who like Call Lane dance clubs and don’t mind shitty beer.

The Rock Bar

A piece of Ibiza in Leeds, with a beer selection to match.

Full Review

Verve

Merrion Street’s live music and comedy venue is little more than that.

Full Review

Blayds Bar

This tiny bar is one of Leeds’s oldest LGBT venues. Beer selection is as you’d expect.

Full Review

The New Penny

A gay bar with a fun and welcoming atmosphere and a good place to dance. But the beer sucks.

Full Review

Henleys Sports Bar and Grill

The first dedicated sports bar in the Northern Quarter.

Full Review

The Stone Roses Bar

A smelly, sticky dark indie music hall. Perfect.
