The New Conservatory

The most central bar in Leeds has a surprisingly secret feel and great amenities.

North Bar

Belgian-style bar with an unbelievable selection of beer and staff who really know what they’re talking about.

The Wrens Hotel

Nice-enough gastropub with a good selection of ales.

Toast Bar + Bistro

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

The New Ellington

Not your average hotel bar. A chilled-out spot with great service, an extraordinary gin menu and some decent beer too.

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.

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.

White Cloth Bar

Little café bar in the White Cloth Gallery. Great atmosphere and decent selection of beers: definitely one to check out!

The White Rose

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

Wetherspoon’s, Railway Station

A great selection of cask ales, if you can make it through the sea of sports fans and hen nights to get to the bar.
