Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Épernay

This champagne bar is good if you want to choose your Ilkley beer by the colour of the bottle.

Full Review

Peachy Keens

Not much to sell this place to us. Good if you want dancing-related events, I guess.

All Bar One — The Electric Press

A chain bar with a surprisingly appealing selection of beer.

Full Review

1871 Bar & Lounge

Not much going on here beer-wise, but they do serve food on a Sunday evening — quite a rarity amongst city centre bars.

Full Review

Fibre

This gay-friendly café-bar crossover has a lot going for it, but sadly not its beer selection.

Full Review

Revolution — The Electric Press

A great place to go if you like vodka and crowds. Otherwise — Millennium Square has better things to offer.

Full Review

Sam’s Chop House

A traditional English eatery in the heart of town with good food and service but not much in the way of beer.

Full Review

“Golf” Cafe Bar

FORE! You can play “golf” here and enjoy a nice bottled ale.

Full Review

LIVIN’italy

Wine bar, deli and restaurant all merged into one. Limited selection of beers, but they’re so good!

Full Review

The Hop

This legendary indie music pub in Granary Wharf has a great beers and an unmissable deal from the π Hole.

Full Review

San Lucus

This new bar and tapas place has excellent food, but not much to draw us in the way of beer.

Full Review

it Bar

A new American-style café/bar offering ridiculously indulgent food and an OK selection of beer.

Full Review

Templar Hotel

Some decent (and well kept) ales, but that’s really the only thing this historic pub has got going for it.

Full Review

The Alchemist

Trinity’s swanky cocktail bar has a lot to offer cocktail and food lovers but falls short on the beer side.

Full Review

The Botanist

One of Trinity’s two bars, The Botanist is something a little bit different and has an amazing beer selection to boot.

Full Review

The Duncan

The last Sam Smith’s pub on our crawl; quite frankly better than we expected.

Full Review

BrewDog

As if Leeds weren’t already awesome enough, we now have a BrewDog Bar!

Full Review

Old Red Lion

A very pleasant surprise which wrapped up our Brewery Wharf/Dock Street tour.

Full Review

The Adelphi

Beautiful Victorian inn reinvented as a trendy gastropub. If you can brave the crowds, great food and beer await inside.
