Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Henry’s Café Bar

Ever wanted to go to a hotel bar that wasn’t in a hotel? Henry’s is for you!

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.

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.

Mr Foley’s Cask Ale House

One of our favourite places in Leeds. Unpretentious pub in a great location with an amazing beer selection.

Spencer’s

Unremarkable but pleasant enough United supporters’ pub. Stay away from the toilets!

The Scarbrough Hotel

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

Full Review

The Reliance

The most beautiful bar we’ve seen yet, with a beautiful beer selection to match. A couple of niggles prevent it from ranking at the very top.

Full Review

The Midnight Bell

Leeds Brewery’s flagship pub is always really busy, but if you can get to the bar there’s a good selection of beer and decent food on offer.

Full Review

The Commercial

Victorian pub hiding in the most unlikely place. Pleasant enough but very poor beer selection.

Full Review

Veritas

Great selection of beer and good pub food, but go for the great atmosphere.

Full Review

The New Conservatory

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

Full Review

The Wrens Hotel

Nice-enough gastropub with a good selection of ales.

Full Review

The New Ellington

Not your average hotel bar. A chilled-out spot with great service, an extraordinary gin menu and some decent beer too.

Full Review

Fab Cafe

Cult TV theme bar with dance floor. Cheap-ish drinks, but none of them very nice. Go for the arcade games!

Full Review

Distrikt

Speakeasy-style underground club/bar with great beer selection and decent food.

Full Review

White Cloth Bar

Little café bar in the White Cloth Gallery. Great atmosphere and decent selection of beers: definitely one to check out!
