Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Santiago

The Grand Arcade’s famous rock bar does what it does best. Rock. \m/

Bridge

Another LGBT bar with no decent beers. Such a shame.

Full Review

Carpe Diem

The original rock & indie bar hasn’t lost any of its spirit in hipster times.

Full Review

Baa Bar

A haven for lovers of rainbow-coloured shooters, but with a surprising range of craft beers too.

Full Review

Tiger Tiger

The centre of Leeds’s nightlife couldn’t be further from the centre of our lives.

Full Review

Queens Court

This extremely popular LGBT bar is very welcoming and friendly, but the beer selection is dreadful.

Chilli White

Imagine Yates’s was a nightclub.

Around the World in 80 Beers

They really do have a lot of beers from around the world!

Full Review

Smokestack

Chilled out speakeasy-style bar with great music and decent beer. Very dark.

Full Review

Bibis Italianissimo

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

Full Review

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

Mook

Huge unpretentious bar/club. Look out for Jesus.

Full Review

Players Sports Bar

A shitty nightclub with shitty beer.

Full Review

Baby Jupiter

Great beer choice and a well-executed 1960s theme make this one of the financial quarter’s best offerings.

Full Review

The Northern Monkey

A friendly, unpretentious Northern stereotype, with amazing burgers. Shame about the terrible beer selection!

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

Duck & Drake

The famous live music venue also has an amazing beer terrace and a ridiculous number of cask ales.

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.

Full Review

Peachy Keens

Not much to sell this place to us. Good if you want dancing-related events, I guess.
