Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Oporto

A music (and hot dog) venue on the Call Lane strip. Nice amenities, but just so-so beer.

Full Review

The Slug and Lettuce

A chavvy chain pub along chavvy Park Row, but not the worst chavvy chain pub in the world.

Full Review

The Hourglass

Definitely a chain pub but somewhat nicer than most of its kind. Ridiculously cheap food too!

Full Review

The Angel Inn

A Sam Smith’s pub, with everything these pubs are famous for. And the floors aren’t sticky any more!

Full Review

Arts Café

A café bar where the food selection far surpasses the choice of beers.

Full Review

The Picture House

A Crown Carvery pub; the carvery is definitely what The Picture House has going for it.

Full Review

The Old Steps

This financial quarter pub is reaching out to the after-work crowd, but not much else.

Full Review

The Pack Horse

In an alley off Briggate, The Pack Horse surprised us with its pleasant atmosphere and excellent beer selection.

Full Review

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

…escobar

…It’s really dark in here!

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

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.
