Leeds Brewery pub that is a very nice, albeit cramped venue to enjoy a few pints of the local brewerys fine ales. Just dont wear anything resembling sportswear or the mobile toting doorstaff will bar you entry. Maybe not such a bad thing.............
Excellent Leeds Brewery beers in a busy but friendly pub. Modern, which may upset some of the purists but the quality of the beer cannot be doubted. Called in last night on the way back to the station - Great range of beers both ales and lagers. Staff friendly and efficient especially as they were short staffed. Decor seemed nice enough.

Hmm, this place used to be one of the best real ale pubs in Leeds but really is struggling to justify its lofty ambitions. Once renowned for top notch food and top notch ales this place has taken a battering recently due to a lack of investment which really is a shame as most folk will have fond memories of this typical "loiner" pub.

As mentioned this pub is very small and space can be very hard to find to sit down.Definitely unique but I got the impression that leads to a number of I want to be seen in here types. Prices rather steep as well; more than down south! On a winter evening space inside was at a premium. So much so that another customer knocked half of my beer over me then walked away as if nothing had happened. Think I'll visit again in summer to try the benches in the alley.fantastic pub good selection of real ales and excellant food well worth visting

Very comfortable sofas, great selection of beers. York brewery range & selection of guests. Quite liked the different areas on different levels. Definitely worth visiting again.11% Abbeydale Last Rites, Kelham Island seasonal, Roosters seasonal, Crown(?) brewery at 7% ish, maybe another, plus the full York range. BrewDog 5am Saint on keg. Perfect condition. Good pub.Nice place to sit and while away an afternoon.
Good selection of ales.

Echoing the last review slightly.
Spent an afternoon discovering some of the "trendier" real ale pubs in Leeds
i.e..Mr Foleys and A Nation Of Shopkeepers.
However you simply can't beat this gem of a pub , tucked away behind the
Corn Exchange. Fantastic well kept ale , full of "characters" and decent live music.
Keep it up guys.After walking around Leeds superb traditional markets,this old time boozer is just the place to pop in and drink a pint of Theakstons Old Peculier,always in stock.For those interested the urinals in the gents are of the old full height style.Long may Leeds markets,Theakstons and the Duck and Drake survive.
Nice to see a pub formerly owned by the real ale TFC pub group back to it's best. A real mecca for real ale and live music fans alike. On the live music front they have a jam night on a Tuesday, new band night on a Wednesday and live bands every Thursday, Friday, Saturday (usually around 21:00) and Sunday (usually around 18:00) all performing on a purpose built stage area with lighting. The bar staff are efficient, polite and on the whole very good looking and serve an ever changing list of around 8 real ales. Yes the prices do keep creeping up (but it is still cheaper than it's near neighbour the Palace) and yes sometimes the music is a tad too loud but this is definitely one of the pubs you must visit before you die!!

Right, do you like Sam Smith's? Yes? Then you will love this place. It's a little ragged around the edges for sure but dont let that put you off. Friendly bar staff and a few local "characters" will make you fit right in. Brilliant during summer with a large oft packed beer garden/patio this is the perfect cheap pub to while away a few hours.

You dont like Sam Smith's pubs?................. erm........ uh......... Its right next door to The Ship Inn so you dont have to walk far.One of Sam Smith's 3 pubs in Leeds City centre and probably the best of the lot though if you know of the other 2 the phrase "damning with faint praise" may come to mind. Cheap beer with a nice landlady and nice female member of staff but unfortunately also a very surly barman best avoided. The clientele are eclectic to say the least but a cheap no frills beer can be had and if your lucky and there is both sunshine and space you may be able to sit outside. Food is served but doesn't look inkeeping with the punters at £6 & £7 a head.This place is cool. Good beer. Always a lively atmosphere. Can't complaint.

Fantastic little bar that gets full during the summer days due to it having one of the smallest river facing sun terrace known to man.Although this bar both shows live sport and has a great veranda overlooking the River Aire it is somewhere I will definitely not be revisiting. The overly trendy food menu (if they are serving) is overpriced along with the beer. They did offer one hand pulled ale last time I went it but at over £3 a pint I don't think that will last long.As mentioned below, this is a pretty bog-standard city centre bar enlivened by its riverside terrace overlooking the Aire. Black Sheep and Landlord are available alongside standard lagers, and there is a pool table. Food seemed reasonably priced and it seems to attract a fairly young crowd. Leeds city centre has a fairly good range of real ale pubs so this is not one to dash to in a hurry in that regard.
