Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Veeno (Wellington Place)

Leeds’s second of this franchise–a large and charming wine bar with a small number of Italian crafts on offer.

Atlas Brauhaus

Out with London, in with Munich. But is it any better than its old incarnation?

Full Review

Editor’s Draught

A well-done Stonegate pub with lots to offer, including a list of beers that’s good enough.

Full Review

The Lost and Found

Greek Street cocktail bar whose dedication to theme gives them a little edge.

Full Review

Bower’s Tap

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

Full Review

The Hedonist Project: Mountain Lodge

A ski-themed concept bar, part of the always reinventing-itself Hedonist Project. No good beer to speak of, so we’ll be moving on.

Full Review

Marvin’s Pizza Parlour

What do Motown and pizza have in common? Probably not much apart from this bar.

Full Review

Trader Dan’s Surf Shack

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

Full Review

53° North

A high-end cocktail nightspot in the financial district. Not really our scene, and not enough beers to get us back.

Full Review

Banyan Bar & Kitchen

Another Arc Inspirations bar. We’re not going to shout about it, but it’s a welcome addition to City Square.

Full Review

Ibérica

A new super-posh Spanish restaurant with an attached bar but no interesting beers.

Full Review

The Old Red Bus Station

A new bar and venue in the renovated old bus station. A bit blah, overall.

Full Review

Dock 29

There’s actually a bar in Leeds Dock! Imagine that.

Full Review

Mr Nobody

A mellow cocktail bar with a handful of beers you don’t see everywhere.

Full Review

Revolución de Cuba

A Cuban-themed chain bar and restaurant with an OK beer selection.

Full Review

The Hedonist Project: Liquor & Whisky

The ever-changing popup now has a permanent home.

Full Review

Baht’ap

A refurbed pub that in trying to appeal to everyone, failed to appeal to us.

Full Review

Cha Lounge

A delightful tea room and bar, offering a handful of good local beers and with room to grow.

Full Review

Wapentake

A little bit of everything comes together perfectly on Leeds’s oldest street.

The Phoenix at The Central

The Central has returned, and it’s trying to be your go-to for lunch.
