Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Friends of Ham

Our 100th review is somewhere very special indeed. Are you a friend of ham yet?

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

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

Brooklyn Bar

Not the best beer in Leeds, by any means, but quite possibly the best beer on Call Lane.

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

Aire Bar

Looks like a gym on the outside, but exercise kit is about the only thing you won’t find in here!

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

Épernay

This champagne bar is good if you want to choose your Ilkley beer by the colour of the bottle.

Full Review

Peachy Keens

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

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.
