user reviews of the Cross Keys, Holbeck

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Excuse my earlier curmudgeonly comments regarding the salad..

Food is prepared with care and very tasty. Beers very good and change regularly.

Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Agree with Rich in terms of the target market of the pub but nonetheless difficult to fault on range of beers (had a very good 'Decade' last week but beers change regularly). Food was good quality although sometimes smallish portions. Prices generally acceptable but not £2.50 for a side salad.

Definitely return for the good beer but would shop around for the food.

An old backstreet pub in the former industrial area of Holbeck, just south of Leeds city centre. The interior has a very modern feel - open plan with lots of exposed brickwork, bare plaster walls and recycled oak beams. It was fairly quiet on a Saturday evening in the main bar, although there was a private funcion in full swing upstairs which sounded to be heaving.

Clearly targetted at the aspiring classes, with a posh sounding food menu and no mainstream beers as far as I recall. Four ales from smaller local brewers on handpump and half a dozen or so imported continental beers on draught.

Some traditionalists might find it a bit pretentious, but it's good at what it does and well worth a visit for the range of beers.

Recent addition to Leeds real ale scene (opened summer 2005). Owned by same people that brought you North Bar on Briggate. 4-5 real ales plus quality European lagers and wide range of bottled beers. Superb food available. The place is sold as more of a gastro-pub. Lovely old characterful building.
