The Adelphi is a mixed bag. Usually a decent guest ale to accompany the tetleys. I had the fishfinger sandwich mentioned a few weeks ago. I didn't expect birdeyes finest plonked down in front of me but that is what I got! I told the bar person to thank the Captain personaaly for me. Can be a bit too busy on a fri/sat night due to the twenty something art school (didn't go to art school but wear the trendy non perscription glasses anyway)crowd who hang around the bar nursing a poncy lager in a stupid glass. Not cheap but the wasabi peas are recommended.

Definately pricey! Interesting decor though, and worth a visit for that alone. Crisps were £1.10 when I last went in.

This was always an interesting pub. Overlooked by many as it is over the river from the city centre. Great Tetleys as they only have to bring the barrels from next door. I spent many happy Friday nights here when they had the "Bowie Club" upstairs,

Very close to the Tetley brewery, this is pub still has several bars rather than having been knocked into one. I enjoyed the house speciality with my pint last night, a fish finger ciabatta sandwich with lime mayonnaise and salad garnish. Much better than you’d think from the description - recommended. Another punter claimed to have paid £3 for what looked like a bag of crisps, so this may support the claims of high prices by previous reviewers.
The place has a friendly atmosphere.

Decor is impressive and worth visiting for that alone. I couldn't fault the beer and food for quality (although only two real ales on offer), but this place is noticeably more expensive than other pubs in Leeds. If that doesn't bother you, this place is definitely one to go to. It's also conveniently placed on your way back from the Royal Armouries.

as a mature student new to leeds a few friends recomended this lovely little gem to me,def on of my all time fave pubs. yes it is expensive, but that to me is a good thing. I would rather pay over the odd for a well maintained erdinger in a fantastic setting just to get away from the ar*eh*le students in the main area of town. A city tresure and may it stay this way for years

The pub has changed from very much a local's pub to a venue that has done an excellent job of attracting the young professionals and tourists from the nearby hotels and appartments. Taylor's Landlord now costs £2.60 a pint though!

beautiful historic pub, great beer, expensive tho so that stops me giving it a 10

This pub is amazing I drink here every lunch time. The staff are very friendly, the food is great and they have just had a web site done.

A superb pub - all pubs should look like this. One of Leeds' best. Several rooms, dark woodwork, a grand entrance lobby, Victorian decor and an excellent pint of Tetley's (well it should be - it's just up the road from the brewery).
A shame that one room has been 'trendified' with sofas and cushions.

Great beer, top pub

grand old Leeds boozer given a recent slightly bizzare refurb (tho' not unappealing when you get used to it). Staff were friendly but it is very expensive - pint of Tetleys £2.30!!! Worth a visit if only for a look at the stately way Victorian pubs were put together

I love the decor in this little pub - a good mix of old and new. The only criticism I have is the price of a pint - ouch!

Nice pub - I like the idea of different rooms - all seem to have their own theme too...
Wasn't too busy in the week before Christmas - a few blokes like me in there waiting for the missus to finish shopping... Much better than the endless number of yuppy wine bars that have cropped up.
Nice wholesome food, but kitchen closes at 3 sharp if you are having a late lunch (as I was).
Definitely recommended.

This is a great pub, it's newly refurbished and has a real cosy feel. It's near Call Lane, the food is lovely (try the Aberdeen Angus burger!)and they serve great beer. The atmosphere is great as you can kick back and relax or go wild playing hungry hungry hippos! I recommend this pub to anyone.

Good proper pub, which seem to be fast disappearing in cities these days. I spend most of my time in either Leeds or London and this is one of the best pubs in either.
|
Marvellous pub. The Beer Monster is spot on. Highly recommended for visitors to Leeds. Its a shame however that they see fit to put promotional drinks posters over some of the splendid etched glass screens.

A fantastic little pub, just far enough away from the trendy wine bars of Leeds to deliver great beer at rock bottom prices, and without the yuppies. In "Happy Hour" pay 99p for a superb pint of Tetleys. One of Leeds little treasures. Go there. Monster.
|
A true Victorian gem which serves as the Tetley brewery tap. Multi-roomed pub with fabulous architectural features. One of the rooms is a no-smoking room. Minimal piped music just a calm environment to enjoy theoretically the best pint of Tetley in the land. Has fallen out of favour in recent years as the epicentre of Leeds has moved a little further north. Pubs like this deserve your support - hunt it out.
