I'm probably one of the office workers who have "adapted to the pub rather than the other way around". It's a nice little joint this one, always a tasty pint for you, the lunchtime meals rattle out of the tiny kitchen in no time at all. Lovely wood fire going all winter long, has started quite early this year though due to the bitter autumn.

Fine small multi-roomed traditional unspoilt pub over the river from the station in a very developed area of Leeds that reminded this reviewer of a mini - Docklands.

Formerly a John Smiths pub - see the signage outside - it's now an Enterprise Inns free house, retaining some original features and serving a good variety of real ales. These included Moorhouses Black Cat Mild , which seemed popular and a beer from Elland Brewery ( which my notes record as being Bora Bora - a rather robust copper premium bitter )

The pub is popular with local office workers at lunchtime, but, unlike London's Docklands, they have largely adapted to the pub rather than the other way round. The tallest office building in Leeds is nearby.

There's outside seating at the side and a large music room at the back where live music is put on at weekends and in the evening.

It's approx 10 minutes walk from Leeds centre and is well worth it.

It's pleasingly to see that redevelopment of an area doesn't always mean that splendid pubs such as this half to be bulldozed in the name of "progress".

Probably my second favourite Leeds pub after Whitelocks at the moment.

Try and go there if you get the opportunity.

Gem of a pub, might be a bit 'working mans' for some tastes, but well worth a visit for the ales and character of the place. Has strong music links too so a good place to chill or rock depending upon your mood.

Great pub with an excellent selection of beer, all in good nick. The highlight of the day - spent a happy couple of hours in here before watching my hopeless football team get relegated at Elland Road. Bit off the beaten track so great location if you want a quiet pre-match pint
