Rather a student atmosphere but pleasant. Burley Street Brewery beers were good and well priced. Worth another visit sometime.

Studenty pub just outside the city centre ring road on the way to Headingley.
As stated, it's definitely oriented towards a younger crowd, with gaming machines, jukebox, pool table and the works, and this seems natural as it's close to the University. It's pubby but there's little of architectural merit, being a standard, opened-out affair split over two levels. The top end has board games to play, and the pub shows sport.
The strength of this pub lies in the real ale range, and I was surprised to find that a pub such as this should have it's own microbrewery. 3 of their ales were avaialable, and I plumped for the Pale which was an excellent pint and very reasonable at £1.80 a pint.
The pub also stocks ales from other micros, Leeds Brewery featuring on my visit, as well as the big boys.
All in all my expectations were low, so I was pleasantly surprised with this place, and would be happy to return.

Went in sat 12 th dec, the pub was quiet which was a shame but its a bit of walk from civilastion so i wonder if it struggles to get custom. Dont let that put you off tho as its a great old type pub and brews its own beer, i had a pint of fox pale which went down very well. This pub used to be known as the rutland hotel until a gas explosion in the 1970s nearly flattened it. The pub has had a few revamps over the years and the lastest has been a great job done and hasnt taken any of the pubs character away. I hope this place survives these difficult times for pubs as its one of the few remaining left on the edge of the city centre that are worth visiting.

The Fox & Newt needs closing.

They're a rude bunch of retards that can't even cope with more than 4 people's food orders and one was a cold cheese sandwich!!

Don't go in there cos it's cold, there are pikeys about and the place smells like bleach too!

Consider yourself warned!
