Had a couple of excellent pints of Ram Tam in here last Friday night. Very friendly and efficient bar staff, and not too mad or crowded. I liked this pub and would happily go back.

This pub has recently gone through a refurbishment - I have uploaded a new photo from their website - it also has gained a new manager and staff who were all very friendly when I visited.
It has been modernised, but in a good way - still lots of local flavour in the piccys on the walls, dark wooden floor/bar, interesting victorian type green tiles and still excellent range of beers (obviously Taylors), but also stocks little known Freedom lagers.
The biggest change though is in the food offering - I had a Lamb dish, and my partner has a steak sandwich, and both were excellent quality and very tasty.
Overall, a good change - and well worth a revisit.

Lovely place with cracking selection of Timothy Taylors ales however due to its
location (near to many of the law firms in the area) was full of besuited idiots
chatting loudly on mobiles and trying to outdo each others gelled mullets !
Nice place , shame about the lunchtime clientelle maybe.....

There are 4 valid reasons for visting this pub - Best, Golden Best, Landlord and Ram Tam. "Gennuflect when ye approach the altar of beer O ye heirophantic seekers of the nectar of truth ! For, hath it not been said, that if ye seek ye so shall ye find ye ? And thy reaward..."'

Situated a shortish walk away from Mr Foley's ( on which I have just posted ) along The Headrow into Westgate and in the heart of the city's legal and financial district is The Town Hall Tavern. It's closeness to the inner ring road, only a hundred or so yards away, helps give it a bit of an out-of-town feel, however, compared with pubs further in the centre.

The green and gold painted exterior tells us that this is a rare Timothy Taylors tied house.

It's a comfortable, carpeted, well appointed pub with much light pine wood panelling and, despite an open plan layout, a number of different areas. The walls are decorated with pictures of old Leeds and, reflecting its location, a number of framed legal cartoons and caricatures. Note also the Leeds United memorabilia, particularly the photo of the League winning side of 1965 ( Mick Jones, Allan Clarke etc ). I gather that the pub gets busy with the office crowd at lunchtime when good value hot food is served.

Remarkably, on my recent June evening visit, despite being festooned with flags of the 32 World Cup teams and a live game being in progress at the time, the two pub TV's were not showing the game, nor even the one day cricket international, but a Rugby League game - Sheffield Eagles v Barrow Raiders. This game was being watched keenly by one customer ( the duty manager ?) , but, apart from that, the pub was virtually empty.

4 Timmy's beers were on - Landlord, Best, Golden Best and Ram Tam. The Best - £ 2.55p - was reasonable. The pub is listed in CAMRA's 2010 Good Beer Guide. Probably as a reflection of its location, it's not open on Sundays.

This is a pleasant enough pub, but it's not near the top of my list of Leeds pubs to revisit
