Prince Of Wales, Leedsback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Closed today; according to barman at 'Spencer's' over the road (good pint of tetley's cask) the owner has 'had enough' and there are no plans to re-open. RIP a good pub.

The news is that this place is glosing very soon; with no new owner in prospect. Both a shame and a disgrace.

Two roomed, city centre pub, tucked away in a side street at the feet of Leeds station.
The wedge shaped main room is quite plainly furbished, bordering on the Spartan, with traditional chairs, tables and wooden backed benches. The only ‘reckless’ touch being the four fisherman’s lamps hanging above the small bar. The back room is more ornate and parlour like, featuring leather sofas etc. but it seems to clash with the overall character of the pub.
Four real ales on this visit: Ossett ‘Pale Gold’, Timothy Taylor’s ‘Landlord’, Leeds ‘Ascension’ and ‘Prince of Wales’ Special’- basically Taylor’s ‘Golden Best’ on offer. Excellent ‘Ascension’: Fresh tasting, well pulled and a good temperature. Worthy of a ‘Good Beer Guide’ mention, if it’s consistently as good as this.
Friendly, helpful old-fashioned landlord. (Hails all new punters as ‘Gentlemen’ as they walk through the door!)
Good early evening atmosphere, when I called. Seems to attract a mixed, if dominantly male, clientele.The only downside, for me, was the video jukebox, which I found rather intrusive.
Worth trying as an alternative, if the nearby Scarbrough Hotel is packed.
Will definitely call again.

This great little pub always has good beer and decent food, friendly staff and friendly regulars. It hasn't changed from when it was a great NF pub in the late seventies, unlike the other two locals, the Black Lion and the Scarborough Taps.

Currently undergoing a renovation which has ripped out large chunks of the ceiling; will probably be very good once the decoration is complete. Nice selection of ales.

Salt of the earth pub near Leeds Station. Gets very busy on Leeds United match days.

I found this lovely pub by chance one saturday night in Leeds. I was at first drawn to it by the sound of live music coming from inside.When I entered,I was very impressed by the cordiality and the olde worlde feel to the place and the excellent choice of beers it sold.I now visit it on a regular basis.

Changed quite a bit from the 1970s when it was a John Smiths pub and the HQ for the local National Front!
