Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Bibis Italianissimo

If it walks like a cruise ship and talks like a cruise ship, it’s probably Bibis Italianissimo.

The Faversham

Surprising little upmarket craft beer house right on the edge of the University campus.

Full Review

The Pit

True to its name, this underground venue offers a great range of craft kegs and bottles, as well as ping pong and American-style BBQ.

Full Review

Lounge Bar & Grill

This truly amazing building hides a pub with a decent enough beer selection and a great terrace. Shame about the interior design.

Full Review

Cosmopolitan Hotel

There is nothing exceptional about the Cosmopolitan. An unexceptional beer selection in unexceptional surroundings.

Full Review

Browns Bar & Brasserie

Part of a southern chain that seems to have left the north behind. Should be posh, but really isn’t.

Full Review

Sela

Leeds’s best bet if you’re looking for live jazz, and not bad odds if you’re looking for good beer.

Full Review

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.

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

Stew & Oyster — Calls Landing

A picturesque spot on The Calls, offering a couple of real ales and absolutely flush with craft bottles.

Full Review

The White Swan

This historic pub has a new lease of life under Leeds Brewery, with a great beer selection and atmosphere to boot.

Full Review

All Bar One — The Electric Press

A chain bar with a surprisingly appealing selection of beer.

Full Review

1871 Bar & Lounge

Not much going on here beer-wise, but they do serve food on a Sunday evening — quite a rarity amongst city centre bars.

Full Review

Fibre

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

Full Review

Revolution — The Electric Press

A great place to go if you like vodka and crowds. Otherwise — Millennium Square has better things to offer.

Full Review

Sam’s Chop House

A traditional English eatery in the heart of town with good food and service but not much in the way of beer.

Full Review

“Golf” Cafe Bar

FORE! You can play “golf” here and enjoy a nice bottled ale.

Full Review

LIVIN’italy

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

Full Review

The Hop

This legendary indie music pub in Granary Wharf has a great beers and an unmissable deal from the π Hole.
