Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

Editor’s Draught

A well-done Stonegate pub with lots to offer, including a list of beers that’s good enough.

Rum & Reason

A rum-themed cocktail bar that doesn’t skimp on the beers. Or the food.

Full Review

Blayds Bar

This tiny bar is one of Leeds’s oldest LGBT venues. Beer selection is as you’d expect.

Full Review

The Viaduct Showbar

The Viaduct is the place to go for drag shows. But definitely not for decent beer.

Full Review

Carpe Diem

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

Full Review

The Ship

An 18th-century pub with an acceptable selection of cask ales, but not much more.

Full Review

Lounge Bar & Grill

This truly amazing building hides a pub with a decent enough beer selection and a great terrace. Shame about the interior design.

Baby Jupiter

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

A June 2013 addition to the Leeds Brewery family, this charming spot has some great beer and a true crowd of amenities.

A picturesque spot on The Calls, offering a couple of real ales and absolutely flush with craft bottles.

This legendary indie music pub in Granary Wharf has a great beers and an unmissable deal from the π Hole.

Azúcar

Food, drink, dancing and Howard Marks. But what about the beer?

Full Review

The Palace

A lovely Nicholson’s pub worthy of its name.

Full Review

Hoagys Bar

A sports pub where we felt quite uncomfortable and out of place. Definitely not for us.

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 Pour House

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

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

The Grove Inn

A gem of a local pub, tucked away behind Bridgewater Place.
