| UPDATE. Building work at the Vine Tree and planning app for kitchen and large dining room so may be making a comeback but possibly as a restaurant? car1953 - 30 May 2015 17:09 |

| An imposing brick built pub, situated on the edge of a busy roundabout, just beyond the northern edge of the city. On entering I was expecting a traditional layout but the place seems to have a minor identity crisis- it can�t decide whether it�s a pub or a wine bar. The two front rooms have been largely opened up into one space. A third room to the right of the bar houses a pool table. The louvred blinds and the minimalist look don�t quite work, if anything the pub just feels spartan. A couple of wall benches covered in duct tape, were just plain shabby. Two real ales on offer: John Smith�s Cask and Leeds Brewery �Best�. The �Best� was clean tasting well poured and served nicely cool. The young friendly barmaid topped up my pint without asking. Surprisingly lively for a Wednesday night, with a good atmosphere. Trade was undoubtedly boosted by a football club using the place as their post-training watering hole. However, there were enough other punters there to suggest the Vine is a decent community local. Food is available, but I couldn�t spot a menu to describe what�s on offer. Pizzas appear to be a speciality. There is a large grassed drinking area to the side of the pub. Large overhead Sky T.V. The landlord must feel he�s doing something right to have such a busy pub midweek. However, I still came away thinking the pub has unfulfilled potential. Undoubtedly solid and friendly, but just lacking something to make me want to go back. aleandhearty - 11 May 2009 12:54 |

| Nice pub with reasonable selection of beers and does a damn good Bloody Mary. Very good food, can get busy on a lunchtime cos of the proximity of the council offices across the road - advisable to book ahead if you want Sunday lunch for more than 2. Joel - 23 Jun 2003 11:32 |
