Adelphi


Traditional city centre pub
1-5 Hunslet Road
Leeds LS10 1JQ
United Kingdom
+44 113 245 6377
Situated on the outskirts of the trendy Exchange Quarter, the Adelphi is traditional to a tee. It's a wonderful, big old building but its location and exterior belies what you'll find inside. The Adelphi is very quiet during the week and has a subdued atmosphere, though there are pool tables you can distract yourself with. At the weekend, it's a much more vibrant place, filled with an older crowd and playing host to live music and DJs. Main meals like steak and kidney pie cost just a few pounds, making The Adelphi far cheaper than its nearby rivals. A function room is available for hire.

Bridge Inn


Pleasant and modern gay pub
1-5 Bridge End
Leeds LS1 7HG
United Kingdom
+44 113 244 4734
Modern and airy, this pub boasts a great riverside location. Although it's not one of the city's trendiest gay spots, it's become a firm favourite with many thanks to its non-extrovert, chilled out atmosphere - aside from the slightly more raucous Friday and Saturday nights. A selection of inexpensive roast dinners (beef, lamb and chicken) are served from noon to 7p every day. Happy hour is from 3p to 7p.

Chemic Tavern


Woodhouse's friendly local
9 Johnson Street
Headingley
Leeds LS6 2NG
United Kingdom
+44 113 295 0195
This has got to be the cosiest and quietest pub in this area of Leeds. The Chemic Tavern is a proper pub without any fancy stuff - there's no food or live music here and it's a pleasant place to come for a pint. It's always full, with a mixture of locals and students - a combination which seems to work well. The small front room has an open fire, which adds to the cosy vibe in the winter.

Cobourg Bar


Modern city pub
Queen's Square
Leeds LS2 8AD
United Kingdom
+44 113 244 9550
Formerly Scruffy Murphy's - one of Leeds' few real city centre pubs - the Cobourg has been moulded into the shape of a trendy new bar, with a cool white and blue façade and a fancy awning at the front. Inside, Cobourg still has a pubby feel, although it's not quite as cosy as it used to be. A mixed crowd of students and office workers from the surrounding colleges and offices give the place a lively but laid-back atmosphere. The range of food is much better than your average pub grub with such delights as Thai green curry.

Coopers


Train station pub with cheap food
Princess Square
Leeds LS1 4DT
United Kingdom
+44 113 234 1435
It may look like nothing special but Coopers is one of the few city center pubs that offers long opening hours and consistently speedy service. Located in the railway station, it's perfect for commuters who want refreshment fast. It's also a brilliant place to watch the world go by thanks to the seemingly never-ending stream of hungry rail passengers. A number of daily specials complement the main menu. Choices include fried chicken and chips or lasagne as well as snacks like toasties and sandwiches.

Dry Dock


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.

Duck and Drake


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.

Faversham


Student favourite
1 Springfield Mount
Leeds LS2 9NG
United Kingdom
+44 113 243 1481
Once a hotel, The Fav, as it is affectionately known, has no trouble in attracting students thanks to its location just a stone's throw from the university. Large and spacious, it has the feel of an old rambling mansion with its themed rooms and big conservatory. The beer garden gets the sun for most of the day and is a good spot to enjoy the tasty snacks and lunches the Faversham serves. Great, if you fancy a break from the city center chain bars.

Felon and Firkin


For boozers and students
25 Great George Street
Leeds LS1 3DL
United Kingdom
+44 113 244 6263
Formerly a police station, this branch of the Firkin chain is now a big, fun-packed studenty pub. It's worth coming here for the teatime treats from 4pm to 8pm, when you can get jacket potatoes, garlic bread and other snacks at bargain prices. If you're really hungry, the cheese and bacon burger with chips is quite filling and not bad value at under £5. The giant board games like Jenga and Connect 4 are a great way to while away a few hours.

Fenton


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.

George


Small, local city centre pub
69 Great George Street
Leeds LS1 3BR
United Kingdom
+44 113 245 3232
Despite its unlikely location opposite Leeds General Infirmary, The George is a popular place for a pint of beer. The pub is located at the quiet end of the city centre and the place is fairly low-key itself. The decor is standard; old brass trinkets, a wooden bar, and a fruit machine or two - but anything more ornate would take away the charm of the place. The George can rustle up chips and hamburgers from midday till 7p, although no other food is served here. A big screen folds out for satellite television sports. Quiz night is on Wednesdays from 8p.

Grove Inn


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.

Headingley Taps


Popular with students
Bennett Road
Headingley
Leeds LS6 3HN
United Kingdom
'The Taps', as it is affectionately known, is a big noisy pub in a big old building in Headingley, with a big car park at the front. It is surprisingly small inside, giving the place a cosy, homely feel that you just don't get in many pubs in this area. It's not quite as popular as Headingley's two main pubs - the Original Oak and the Skyrack - so it's ideal for a quiet drink away from the rabble. It's a different story at the weekend though, when people flock here to watch big matches on big screens and down a pint or five. Karaoke nights on Thursday and Sunday are always great fun.

Hogshead


Two more chain pubs!
43 Great George Street
Leeds LS1 3BB
United Kingdom
+44 113 242 2090
Quasi-traditional English pubs, the two Hogsheads are both very popular venues for business lunches and lively drinking in the evening. Brass and wood give the interior a cosy and welcoming feel though an old man's drinking den this is most definitely not. DJs get the weekend off to a flying start, playing funky sounds to crowds of fun-loving twenty and thirty-somethings. The food and drink is nice and varied - it's also pretty cheap! There is a fabulous selection of beer and a wide range of traditional English food, as well as some more unusual dishes, like the Mexican combo. If in doubt, give it a go - you won't be disappointed.

Hyde Park


Students and pool tables galore
2 Shire Oak Street
Leeds LS6 2AF
United Kingdom
+44 113 275 9352
It may have lost some of its character and charm thanks to Mr Q but this pub has much to attract the thirsty visitor to Headingley—namely lots of pool tables, a permanent party atmosphere and decent food. It's a particularly popular stop-off on the infamous Otley Run—a student pub crawl from O'Hagan's in Headingley, along the Otley Road and into the city centre. This is probably why there always seems to be people dressed in flares and wigs, dancing in the corner. There's plenty of entertainment to keep the party in full swing including a pub quiz on Sundays and karaoke on Thursdays.

JD Wetherspoon's


Good value eating and drinking
Infirmary Street
Leeds LS1 4DS
United Kingdom
+44 113 247 1676
http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk
Great for a pit stop before you get the train, Wetherspoon's pub/cafe-bar is open-plan and quite stylish. With chairs and tables out on the concourse, it also provides welcome relief from other smoky train station pubs. As a chain of pubs which consistently undercut their competitors, this branch is no exception. The menu might not be very original, but it's great value and good quality. Main meals are around £5; choices include chicken tikka masala, scampi and chips and a balti option. Big baguettes and pastries are offered to eat-in or takeaway. Food is served until 10p.

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.

Lafferty's


Traditional, no-frills pub
37 Call Lane
Leeds LS1 7BT
United Kingdom
+44 113 243 0315
This traditional pub is decorated with old pictures and dated objects d'art and is mainly frequented by quiet, old men. It is somewhat out of character, given its location in Leeds' trendy Call Lane bar area. Still, it has a certain charm and the drinks promotions definitely make it worth a trip if you are a bit strapped for cash. Its two pool tables are cheap at 30p a go. The pub has a strange set of toilets; the gentlemen's are through a courtyard in a funny little annex building. No food is served here.

Lloyds Bar @ The Metropole Hotel


Old-fashioned with little ambience
King Street
Leeds LS1 2HQ
United Kingdom
+44 113 245 0841
More of a pub than a bar, Lloyds' interior is reminiscent of the 1970s. If you can live with the quirky decor, it's a good bet for a relaxing drink or meal and it's certainly much better value than the hotel's pricey restaurant. Hefty sandwiches, served on a range of breads, are all delicious. The main dishes are good value and range from the traditional Yorkshire Pudding stuffed with roast beef to the modern wild mushroom and sun-dried tomato salad. A full afternoon tea is served. Open 24 hours a day to hotel guests.

New Roscoe


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.

O'Neill's


Basement Irish theme pub
33 Great George Street
South Parade
Leeds LS1 3DL
United Kingdom
+44 113 204 8581
The location in the Leeds business district, combined with a 5p till 8p happy hour, makes O'Neill's a popular spot for an after-work drink. Office workers pile into the bar with its enclosed yet high-spirited atmosphere. Despite being part of the Bass brewery chain, O'Neill's seem to have thought a bit more about their menu than some establishments. A large range of salads—featuring goat's cheese, bacon and cherry tomatoes— are particularly mouth-watering options. The pies and burgers are a lot nicer and more filling than they sound.

Old Steps


Ignore the decor
26 York Place
Leeds LS1 2EY
United Kingdom
+44 113 245 0482
If you're strapped for cash but in dire need of a pick-me-up, you could do a lot worse than the Old Steps. It may suffer from an interior design better left to a 1980s social club but despite the plastic flowers, fairy lights and a green and pink color scheme, the Old Steps has many a saving grace and its clientele certainly seem to enjoy themselves - perhaps because the bar is immensely cheap. The whole combination makes a refreshing change from some of the increasingly sterile chain pubs you'll find in the city center. The Old Steps lunchtime menu is filling and exceptionally cheap. Amongst the offerings are tasty roast beef sandwiches, double-decker tuna sandwiches and a range of lunch specials, such as lasagne or gammon.

Original Oak


Huge pub, popular with students
2 Otley Road
Headingley
Leeds LS6 2DG
United Kingdom
+44 113 275 1322
'The Oak' - as it is known - is one of the largest pubs in Leeds, with four bars, several function rooms, and a huge beer garden lawn complete with over 20 picnic tables. It is a student pub first and foremost, and a busy one at that. On weekends, and for the satellite sports events, the pub is packed and not a pleasant place for a quiet drink. The atmosphere is good, however. A few events like the Monday night quiz evening (from 9p) draw a friendly crowd. The menu is confined to hamburgers and hot dogs, and is only available at lunchtime (around midday till 2:30p). During the summer, a barbecue offers a few more food options on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.

This traditional pub is right on the edge of the university campus and usually plays host to a mixed crowd of students, lecturers and locals. It's a good mix and the pub has a friendly atmosphere which is increasingly difficult to find in other city centre pubs. An open fire in the two side rooms also helps to create a relaxed vibe. Many people make use of the beer garden in the summer and the numerous board games during the winter.

Palace


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.

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.

Royal Park Pub


Student local with entertainment

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.

It may look like a very non-descript pub, but what Spencers does have is a little bit of charm and lots of very cheap alcohol. The 'Promotion' nights feature double shots of premium spirits - a snip compared to other pubs in this area. If it's a lively atmosphere you want, go on Thursday for quiz night or strut your stuff at the discos on Friday and Saturday night. Spencers is conveniently located near to Leeds City Rail Station, making it a great spot for a cheap pre-train drink or two.

As with all branches of J D Wetherspoon public houses, Stick or Twist has patterned carpets, flashy light fittings and a pine finish. A few tables and chairs outside in the summer brighten up the otherwise dull exterior. Traditional and cheap pub dishes are served here including breaded scampi and chips and steak and mushroom pie.

The decoration is typical of many city pubs, with wooden tables and rough and ready chalk boards listing the day's menu specials. Dishes are served from midday until 7p from Monday to Saturday. Choices include steak and kidney pie, scampi and chips. Happy hour is from 3p till 7p.

A quiet spot for a pint (it sells few other forms of alcohol) the Town Hall Tavern attracts a rather random mix of customers. It is one of the few places in Leeds' business district that offers a traditional pubby feel, even if it is reminiscent of a social club or golf club bar. With no happy hours, no special events and no food, the Town Hall Tavern is perfect if you feel like a no-frills pint.

One of a string of city pubs on The Headrow that cater to the city's serious drinkers, The Vine is a fine example of a traditional Leeds pub. Typically decorated with pub objects d'art (brass fittings and wooden chairs), this small pub is much more cozy and intimate than Leeds' larger chain pubs. Aside from the refreshingly unpretentious atmosphere, most of the clientele come here for the permanently cheap drinks. Thursday nights are always good fun with 70s DJs presiding over a disco where anything goes. No food is on offer at The Vine, although the Three Legs pub next door offers a good range of cheap snacks.

Fancy a change from the city's trendy, new pubs? Then step into The Whip, a pub where time seems to have stood still. Looking rather ill at ease in the upbeat Exchange Quarter, this backstreet haunt might be described as an 'old man's pub'. It is smoky, does not serve food (only crisps), and its only special event is the Monday darts and dominoes evening. All this might sound a bit grim but The Whip is full of character and, best of all, it serves one of the best pints of Tetley around.

This, and the tempting selection of hand-pumped ale on offer (including John Smith, Ruddles and Theakston Old Peculiar) has helped make Whitelocks a firm favourite with locals and tourists alike. If you're hungry, try the excellent pub food. The menu includes Whitelocks seafood pie and beef steak pie, both costing around £5.

Whether you're in London or Leeds, it's almost guaranteed that there'll be a Yates's Wine Lodge nearby. Like all the other branches, the Leeds outlets are very welcoming and decorated using lots of brass and wood. It's always busy, especially at lunchtime when the office set pour in to take advantage of the pub's good value, good quality food which features traditional favorites like scampi and chips. This place is always a safe bet.
