Reviewing every last watering hole in Leeds city centre

The Victoria Hotel

There’s more to The Victoria Hotel than 150-year-old décor (although that’s lovely too).

Town Hall Tavern

A completely refurbished gastropub offering traditional Yorkshire food and Timothy Taylor ales.

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.

Wetherspoon’s — The Cuthbert Brodrick

All the trappings of a Wetherspoon’s, plus a great setting and a bit of a local feel.

The Restaurant Bar & Grill

In our eyes, the fantastic location and gorgeous building are the only things this suit-magnet has going for it.

The Reliance

The most beautiful bar we’ve seen yet, with a beautiful beer selection to match. A couple of niggles prevent it from ranking at the very top.

Full Review

The Cross Keys

A gastropub with a great beer selection, traditional inn feel, and an important place in Industrial Revolution history.

Full Review

The Midnight Bell

Leeds Brewery’s flagship pub is always really busy, but if you can get to the bar there’s a good selection of beer and decent food on offer.

Full Review

Veritas

Great selection of beer and good pub food, but go for the great atmosphere.

Full Review

The New Conservatory

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

Full Review

The Wrens Hotel

Nice-enough gastropub with a good selection of ales.

Full Review

Toast Bar + Bistro

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

Full Review

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.

Full Review

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.
