Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Oporto

A music (and hot dog) venue on the Call Lane strip. Nice amenities, but just so-so beer.

Jake’s Bar and Still Room

Though it scores low on beer, this unique bar and distillery has loads going for it.

Full Review

The Slug and Lettuce

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

Full Review

Arts Café

A café bar where the food selection far surpasses the choice of beers.

Full Review

The Picture House

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

Full Review

Massey’s Booksellers

A slightly upmarket student bar, but not much happening beer-wise.

Full Review

Mojo: Music for the People

One of many bars along this stretch, this American-inspired nightspot definitely has its music mojo working.

Full Review

Mayaimi

Trying to be the Hottest Spot North of Havana, this new nightclub falls a bit short on our criteria.

Full Review

The Pour House

A brand new spot on Granary Wharf, with great food, beautiful views, and an OK-ish beer selection.

Full Review

Town Hall Tavern

A completely refurbished gastropub offering traditional Yorkshire food and Timothy Taylor ales.

Full Review

The George

A charming pub with a local feel and plenty of cask ales.

Full Review

Palm Sugar

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

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

Sandinista!

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

Full Review

The Prince of Wales

Another Leeds United pub along Mill Hill with a few decent beers. Not much more to say.

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

North Bar

Belgian-style bar with an unbelievable selection of beer and staff who really know what they’re talking about.
