Dreadful place. Despite being in a Uni area it cost £2.43 for a pint of strongbow.
Food is all rubbish which is why it is cheap. Lots of deep fried stuff, very slow service (45 minutes).
No real ales, staff uninterested in complaints. Lacking in atmosphere.

Ex-Tetley's Festival Ale House, but the quality beers still remain. Good value food, and friendly staff.

A pretty good pub and I had an outstanding pint of Tetley's bitter in here.
But I used to drink here from 1975 to 1979. What a great little boozer it was then. Totally unrecognizable now. In the 70s, they hadn't expanded by buying up next door, nor had they knocked it all through into one big bar. You used to have a fabulous litle public bar where all the old men used to drink; and a comfortable saloon at the back; and the bar was in the middle and served both rooms.
Them were t'days.

Good pub. Wide range of beers and friendly staff. Gets busy at weekends especially when Otley runs are passing through. Broader range of clientele than would expect from location opposite the uni.

Mondays in the early 80`s we used to start off the week in the Pack-up the road- followed by The Eldon & stagger down to Phono`s in the Merrion for the 50p snakebites...The Eldon was then a fairly dour place...since its been doubled in size(by knocking thru next door)its improved as a pub...Good beer,improved seating & a great place to watch the footy...with a good mixture of locals & students....

lovely pub, friendly bar staff, cheap sunday nights and still not too busy

A great pub. Despite being near the uni's it gets a nice mix of locals, students & staff. Good place to watch the footie as every team seems to get its fair share of support. Ales are good, but lager and Guiness are shockingly bad. Sort it out - you're letting the place down (mind you for £1.25 on a Sunday night you can't complain).

This is one of the greatest pubs in Leeds. Great crowd, and Sunday's is £1.25 a pint. Belting!

Great selection of beers, great food, friendly staff, Sky sports, comfy nooks to hide in, great selection of beers…

this is one of the very best pubs in leeds. good mix of locals and students, but the beer is the best thing. cracking pint that makes the uni bar's taste like slurry. great atmosphere for live games (newcastle matches seem to get a big crowd in), and friendly bar staff.

A personal favourite, this pub attracts staff and the more discerning student from the University.
The bar plays host to a number of different, well cared for, hand pull beers, which often includes guest ales. The surroundings look 'youthfully old' - well cared for, with an open fire in the room to the left of the bar. A couple of small screens strangely do not diminish the look and feel.
This pub is part of the Otley Run, so watch out for any ready-to-drop punters on a Friday or Saturday night. They'll be very easy to tip over by now.
Definitely pay this pub a visit if you're in the area. If you're not, it's worth a bit of a walk.
