 Beautiful waterside balcony |
32-34 The Calls Leeds LS2 7EW United Kingdom +44 113 203 1811 |
Despite recent redecoration, Aire still retains its traditional pub feel even though it attracts more of a bar-type clientele comprising office workers and trendy social drinkers. It is blessed with the most beautiful balcony in Leeds, built over the murky River Aire, which makes up for the rest of the bar which is rather uninspiring. Tasty snacks are served from midday till 5p F to Su, or till 2:30p on other days. Choose from the mouth-watering selection of hot baguettes (tuna, beef and chicken), or more hearty options like sausage and mash, and spicy chicken salad. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Best bar in the Headrow area |
25-35 Cookridge Street Leeds LS2 3AG United Kingdom +44 113 203 1831 |
Even when it's cold, this bar's courtyard is still a novelty - the big heaters actually do a good job of heating up the freezing air to a decent temperature so that you can sit at the outdoor tables. In the summer, it's a good place for hanging out in the shade. Food is served and the sandwiches are particularly popular - try the roast beef or tuna melt. DJs play house and funk at the weekends.

 Has to be seen to be believed |
Woodhouse Lane Leeds LS2 3AX United Kingdom +44 113 203 1841 |
Try as they might, the city's shiny, new pubs just cannot beat the Dry Dock in the originality stakes. The pub enjoys a surreal location on a boat that is moored on a traffic island in the middle of Leeds but it works. Although it has been running for a few years, people never seem to tire of the Dry Dock and it's always jam-packed with a healthy mix of students, office workers and shoppers. It's best to come here on a sunny day when you can sit on deck with a cool drink and watch the world sail by. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fashionable location |
Kirkgate Leeds LS2 7DJ United Kingdom +44 113 244 5882 |
This inviting pub boasts of drinkers from the new quays development area and regulars from other parts of Leeds. The decor is more open and light than some British pubs—pine tables, fruit machines and strange old pub artefacts are still in evidence though. The Palace is a little more luxuriant than average, with a few fine leather chairs and a delightful beer garden. Satellite television is offered, but the pub never seems overtaken with rowdy spectators. The Palace has a limited and cheap menu, similar to most pub chains. Spiced Mississippi chicken is the most novel item, with a few classics such as gammon steak. Food is served daily from 11:30a to around 7p. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Classy and popular |
48 Call Lane Leeds LS1 6DT United Kingdom +44 113 243 2778 |
Wooden floors, great lighting and a big bar make this the ideal location for all your socializing needs. Each day, it undergoes a startling transformation from a pleasant, sedate cafe-bar during the day, to a very popular late-night drinking (and sometimes dancing!) establishment in the evening. The excellent DJs play funky music six nights a week. If you prefer to drink rather than dance, you'll be transfixed by the selection of vodka. There is just about every quality brand of vodka available as well as a massive range of special recipe frozen flavored vodkas, with changing seasonal specials. Good value, tasty food is served daily until early evening. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Two pleasant beer gardens |
104 Otley Road Headingley Leeds LS16 5JG United Kingdom +44 113 278 4393 / +44 113 275 7838 |
Friendly staff preside over one of Headingley's top pubs, which attracts a loyal local and student crowd. The pub's interior is warm and inviting, with a few televisions showing live football and satellite sports as the need arises. Very cheap lunches are served at the pub from midday to 3p. Dishes include chips topped with cheese, chilli and chips, half a roast chicken and chips. The big breakfast—sausages, bacon, eggs, fried bread and beans, and chips—is a good choice if you are feeling peckish. Review © 2007, Wcities |
