 Drink and dance the night away |
109-121 Merrion Place Leeds LS1 6PJ United Kingdom +44 113 244 1991 |
Brannigans' motto is eating, drinking and cavorting. If this doesn't give you an idea of what this place is all about, imagine a big pub with a dance floor full of drunk and excited people (they get a lot of hen nights here). Brannigans is also popular with late-night middle-aged revelers and daytime shoppers. The lunch menu features a great two meals for £6 offer (choices include burgers and simple pastas). In the evening, the larger menu comes into play: chicken and cashew pasta and lamb with cranberry butter are but two examples. Brannigans has a smart dress code no trainers or blue denim.

 Friendly city pub with live music |
43 New York Street Leeds LS2 7DR United Kingdom +44 113 246 5806 |
This is probably the friendliest local pub in the city centre. It's a cheap and cosy place for a pint and also a popular place for a sandwich at lunchtime. The location in the trendy Call Lane area makes it busy at the weekends too, despite the fact that the Duck and Drake does not conform to the area's cool, trendy vibe. Live music is played three times a week, including jazz on Monday and Thursday evening and on Sunday lunchtimes. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Live rock |
161 Woodhouse Lane Leeds LS2 3ED United Kingdom +44 113 245 3908 |
One of the best pubs in the Hyde Park area, The Fenton offers up live music and an unusual blend of people. Its location near the university means there are always quite a few students in, but this cozy pub also attracts the local rock crowd. Live music is staged most nights so the atmosphere is always buzzing. The pub's great lunchtime menu is served from 11.30a to 2p, Monday to Friday, and from midday to 2p on Saturdays. Special drinks prices on Saturday afternoons and all day Sunday are an added bonus. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cosy with live folk music |
Back Row Off Water Lane Leeds LS11 5PL United Kingdom +44 113 243 9254 |
People come here to relax, drink ale and enjoy the folk music which keeps this place alive. It's surprising that somewhere like this has kept going in this part of town - the business/industry district - but people who discover it love it because it's so unique. The only music-free night is Monday. For the rest of the week, there are mainly live folk bands and artists in the evening. There's a jamming session on Tuesday and 'Unplugged Leeds' on Wednesday. The lunchtime grooves are a perfect way to round off the weekend. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Live music and beer |
Chorley Lane Leeds LS2 9NW United Kingdom +44 113 203 1861 http://www.josephswell.co.uk/ |
This modern pub is justifiably famous for its excellent live music and friendly atmosphere. The capacious function room is where it all happens, playing host to around 65 bands every month. The club has hosted many big names in the music circuit, playing enroute to fame, fortune and stardom. If you are a regular, you might just spot the next big band. The small, snacky menu includes Cajun burgers and other tasty treats. Many performances are free, others range from GBP2-5; call for details. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Regular live bands |
Bristol Street Sheepscar Leeds LS7 1DH United Kingdom +44 113 246 0778 |
Even though it's not very central, there is plenty to attract music loving visitors to the lively New Roscoe. The beer garden is pleasant, with picnic tables and flowers, but is slightly let down by the busy road nearby. What most people really come here for is the live music, which takes place almost every evening from Tuesday to Sunday. The bands appearing are often tribute bands to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, amongst others. A number of blues and soul bands also play, appealing to a predominantly middle-aged clientele. Tuesday night features a band competition, where musicians compete weekly for a large cash prize at the end of the year. Lunchtime snacks are also served. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Old-fashioned, friendly and good value |
Mill Hill Leeds LS1 5DQ United Kingdom +44 113 245 2434 |
This city centre pub has stood the test of time by offering friendly service and excellent, good value beer. A number of guest ales feature regularly at the pub, including the renowned Landlord, Yorkshire Brown Ale and Trough Bitter. Happy hour (from 2pm to 6pm Monday to Thursday) sees pints reduced to around £1.25, while spirits are always cheap. The roast beef sandwich and pint option is a real favourite with regulars. There are a few inexpensive bar snacks on the menu served daily (except Saturday) from midday to 2pm. Tables are placed on the busy pavement outside in summer. A large television screen shows the big satellite sports events whilst live rock and blues bands play on Saturday nights. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Atmospheric cabaret |
Royal Park Road 39 Queen's Road Leeds LS6 1NY United Kingdom |
This is the best night out in Hyde Park—not that there is too much competition. Held in the basement of the dingy Royal Park Pub, lots of talented local musicians and comedians show their latest stuff off to a regular and enthusiastic local audience. The quality and style of the performances varies but the atmosphere in this smoky little place is always great. Phone for details of forthcoming events. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Student local with entertainment |
39 Queen's Road Hyde Park Leeds LS6 1NY United Kingdom |
Although it's a pretty average drinking and lounging pub, there is plenty of entertainment to attract the visitor to the big and comfy Royal Park. There's a pub quiz on Monday, karaoke on Tuesday and live bands three times a week. Undoubtedly, the best night to come here is Tuesday when the basement opens for a cabaret. There's a no smoking room and an outdoor area for the summer. An extra bonus is the fantastic selection of meal deals for £2.99 including vegetarian bake, lasagne and burgers - all with chips. On Sunday, there is a particularly good breakfast. Food is served between noon and 4p. Review © 2007, Wcities |
