Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Crowd of Favours

A June 2013 addition to the Leeds Brewery family, this charming spot has some great beer and a true crowd of amenities.

Wetherspoon’s — The Hedley Verity

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

Aire Bar

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

Full Review

All Bar One — The Electric Press

A chain bar with a surprisingly appealing selection of beer.

Full Review

Fibre

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

Full Review

LIVIN’italy

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

Full Review

Wetherspoon’s — Becketts Bank

Just another Wetherspoon’s. Not bad, but there are others available.

Yum Yum

Would we go for a night out in a shop? With a beer selection like this, it would be hard to keep us away!

The Palace

A lovely Nicholson’s pub worthy of its name.

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

The Hourglass

Definitely a chain pub but somewhat nicer than most of its kind. Ridiculously cheap food too!

Full Review

The Picture House

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

Full Review

Nation of Shopkeepers

A list of amenities as long as my arm, but are all the hats and the beards too offputting?

Full Review

Wetherspoon’s — Stick or Twist

Leeds’s earliest Wetherspoon’s pub is hiding in a forgotten part of town, but they haven’t forgotten about great service and beer.

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

Yates’s, Boar Lane

A grotty chain pub, fitting in perfectly along grotty Boar Lane.

Full Review

Toast Bar + Bistro

An upmarket football bar focusing on cocktails — nothing special to bring us rushing back.

Full Review

The Riverside

Looks like it’s for the staff of the office block above, but is actually a very pleasant spot to relax by the river.

Full Review

O’Neill’s

The city centre’s only traditional Irish pub, this chain offers a good selection of Irish grub but a rather plain selection of beer to go along with it.

Full Review

The White Rose

Standard mainline station pub. Nothing to love; nothing to hate.
