| Fairly basic ale house within walking distance of the city centre, with a good selection of ales on tap. Supping the tasty Moorehouses Black Cat while watching a band playing to a small (but enthusiastic) crowd in the back room was a very pleasant way to finish off a Saturday night in Leeds. wee_jock - 29 Jun 2009 13:53 |
| The Grove is one of the few good reasons for visiting Leeds for a beer. Never less than really a well kept selection. Pleasant staff. I used to work in the area 35 years ago and although there is very little left with a range of ugly generic buildings, coming upon the Grove always makes me smile-it's a real Doctor Who moment.

| Classic with good range of beer. Despite it being a Friday evening it was fairly quiet - perhaps everybody was in the folk club which meets in a back room. simontheeditor - 12 May 2009 19:38 |
| Wow, wasn’t prepared for The Grove Inn, as it’s the last thing you expect to find in the middle of the office tower blocks on the canal side developments. It’s like walking into a time warp and finding yourself back in the days when pubs were there to dispense good ale and be a social meeting point for the local community. A no frills social drinking house. Can’t really add to the previous descriptions given except that the wife spotted that the iron legs of the tables in the larger back music room were from Singer sowing machine stands. And the smaller of the two rooms off the corridor was a ringer for my old nan’s front room. Several beers on and the ones at the serving hatch were Moorhouse Black Cat and Witches Brew, Deuchars IPA, and Salamander Scatterbrain, which I believe is a local Microbrewery. I didn’t get to see the beers in the front bar as when me and the misses moved from the back room to one of side rooms, some of the locals picked up on the non Yorkshire accents and after establishing that we were in Leeds for the bank holiday weekend, were very concerned about us having a good time and discussed plenty of suggestions for our enjoyment whilst in Yorkshire. Suffice to say we didn’t leave the pub till gone midnight. Gann - 13 Apr 2009 22:43 |
| Great pub, a true survivor squatting amidst office and apartment buildings that have sprung up around it in the last 5/10 years. Food is basic but that's not a priority here. The Groves true principles - a traditional atmosphere, wide coice of real ale, live folk music - are unaffected by the radical change in punters' profile - long may it continue !
