Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Nation of Shopkeepers

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

Full Review

The Victoria Hotel

There’s more to The Victoria Hotel than 150-year-old décor (although that’s lovely too).

Full Review

Cuvée

Granary Wharf’s champagne bar certainly looks and feels the part. And we aren’t the part.

Full Review

The Pour House

A brand new spot on Granary Wharf, with great food, beautiful views, and an OK-ish beer selection.

Full Review

Town Hall Tavern

A completely refurbished gastropub offering traditional Yorkshire food and Timothy Taylor ales.

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

Henry’s Café Bar

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

Full Review

The George

A charming pub with a local feel and plenty of cask ales.

Full Review

Palm Sugar

Chaophraya’s new upscale lounge bar with a mediocre beer selection and an inexplicably strong lemon smell.

Full Review

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.

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

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.

Full Review

Mr Foley’s Cask Ale House

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

Full Review

The Scarbrough Hotel

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

Full Review

The Restaurant Bar & Grill

In our eyes, the fantastic location and gorgeous building are the only things this suit-magnet has going for it.

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 Cross Keys

A gastropub with a great beer selection, traditional inn feel, and an important place in Industrial Revolution history.

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

Veritas

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

Full Review

Yates’s, Boar Lane

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