Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

The Slug and Lettuce

A chavvy chain pub along chavvy Park Row, but not the worst chavvy chain pub in the world.

Full Review

The Hourglass

Definitely a chain pub but somewhat nicer than most of its kind. Ridiculously cheap food too!

Full Review

The Picture House

A Crown Carvery pub; the carvery is definitely what The Picture House has going for it.

Full Review

The Old Steps

This financial quarter pub is reaching out to the after-work crowd, but not much else.

Full Review

Nation of Shopkeepers

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

Full Review

The Victoria Hotel

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

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

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 Scarbrough Hotel

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

Full Review

The Restaurant Bar & Grill

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

Full Review

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.

Full Review

Yates’s, Boar Lane

A grotty chain pub, fitting in perfectly along grotty Boar Lane.

Full Review

The New Conservatory

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