Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Bower’s Tap

This big chain is getting in on the craft beer world. And it’s getting it right.

Trader Dan’s Surf Shack

The latest rotation of The Hedonist Project: a rum-themed surf place with no decent beer.

Full Review

Sid’s Little Egg

This oddly named little bar is a new gem on the south bank.

Full Review

Yates’s, Woodhouse Lane

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

Full Review

Blayds Bar

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

Full Review

The New Penny

A gay bar with a fun and welcoming atmosphere and a good place to dance. But the beer sucks.

Full Review

Henleys Sports Bar and Grill

The first dedicated sports bar in the Northern Quarter.

Full Review

The Black Prince

ABC: Another Boring Chain(pub).

Full Review

Bridge

Another LGBT bar with no decent beers. Such a shame.

Full Review

The Highland

A charming little pub in the casino-filled no-man’s land between Burley and Kirkstall Roads.

Full Review

Dry Dock

It’s a boat.

Full Review

Carpe Diem

The original rock & indie bar hasn’t lost any of its spirit in hipster times.

Full Review

The Elbow Room

This old pool hall has still got it.

Full Review

Shooters Sports Bar

This place has an awesomely good array of sports, and an awesomely bad array of beers.

Full Review

The Merchant

A student chain pub, serving dirty food and dirty beer.

Full Review

Three Legs

Ugh.

Full Review

Duck & Drake

The famous live music venue also has an amazing beer terrace and a ridiculous number of cask ales.

Full Review

Wetherspoon’s — The Hedley Verity

It’s a Wetherspoon’s. See all our other reviews of Wetherspoon’s.

Full Review

Fox & Newt

The only pub in the city centre to brew its own cask ale, and that’s not even the best thing about it.

Full Review

Aire Bar

Looks like a gym on the outside, but exercise kit is about the only thing you won’t find in here!
