314 In Progress

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

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

Ipsum Vinoteca

A real Italian wine shop with a surprising beer selection.

The Office

This new after-work bar is very nice but is let down by its beer selection.

Yates’s, Woodhouse Lane

A marked improvement on its sibling. Still a chain pub.

The Rock Bar

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

Verve

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

Full Review

Tall Boys Beer Market

An exciting new bottle shop in the city centre with space to drink in.

A wood has appeared beneath Leeds Town Hall, and its inhabitants are peddling craft beer!

Black Swan

The newest bar in the Sandinista! empire was a bit of a surprise for us.

Mix Karaoke Bar

Leeds’s only dedicated karaoke bar is definitely all about the karaoke and not at all about the beer.

Blayds Bar

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

Full Review

Northern Monk Refectory

Upstairs from their new brewery, this taproom and kitchen is absolutely spot on. Go there!

115 The Headrow

A bar that lives up to its name.

The Viaduct Showbar

The Viaduct is the place to go for drag shows. But definitely not for decent beer.

Really just an antechamber for the restaurant, but pleasant enough.
