Arguably the best range of beers in Leeds, or maybe West Yorkshire. As well as the ales there’s a more interesting lager selection than your usual tripe and the bottled menu is superb too, although the prices here are above average. The bar itself is easy to miss with its small window and door in the middle of a row of shops in the commercial centre of Leeds. Its own sign is not exactly prominent. Inside its long and thin and doesn’t ascribe to the comfortable pub mentality preferring the minimalist bar approach. None of this puts the masses off though.

Four casks, three from Roosters Brewery and one from BrewDog, in addition to +10 taps displaying beers from USA, Germany and Belgium. Good range of bottled beers, too. Tasty local cheese to go with the beers. More a modern little and narrow bar, some would perhaps say retro bar, than a classical English pub. Polite service. Very relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. Highly recommended (visited 11.07.2010).

Quite a modern type of bar a little off the beaten track, we walked past it twice looking for it, so not the most obvious place. Good selection of Taps to go for with a mostly Yorkshire theme when we were there, also a decent range of bottle beers, if somewhat pricey. A definite one to visit whilst in Leeds.

Great little bar, obviously a shop conversion, which has three cask ales (with occasional stillaged beer too) but it’s the foreign draught and bottles beers it best to come here for - the range changes frequently so it’s a plan to peer over the bar into the fridges to see what’s on sale. The staff are very sociable and will give tasters of draught beers. All in all, a cracking little place and a great addition to the scene.

Visit on a Tuesday night, was quietish. Excellent, large not huge, beer selection, friendly girls behind the bar. Didn’t eat. Like a small low key Northern bar with eclectic music and nice beer drinking atmosphere.

Continental-style bar tucked away up New Briggate. Couple of cask ales, plenty of continental draught (Jever, Erdinger Dunkel, Dortmunder) and a decent selectionof bottles tending towards the Belgians. Guest continentals and bottles too. i prefer it during the day before the club crowd hit the place. Chilled music, good staff, decent beer at not-too-silly prices for a city centre bar.

Pretentious, student vibe cafe/bar. Good selection of beer, but caught very rude staff on a Saturday night. Seems I was bothering the nice lady behind the bar by asking for drinks. She was much more interested in reciting rehearsed beer information to uninterested customers. Shame because it has a cracking beer selection albeit rather expensive.

Cracking bar. Seems a bit daunting from the street, all cramped and bustling - but once you get inside you see exactly why it’s so busy. Tons of choice, great atmosphere, excellent knowledgeable staff... brilliant! Could happily sit here for a week. A little pricey on some of the beers, but nothing outrageous. The food looked good too, though we didn’t have any.

Really good selection of local and international beers. nice cafe style ambience and it gets some bonus points from me because Belle and Sebastian was on the stereo when I was there. Food and wifi was available.

cracking bar. probably the best selection in Leeds. if you want it they’ve got it and if not they offer to blend something! could happily have spent several hours and a big chunk of cash here. The only real downsides are the lack of space and comfy seats and the somewhat high prices. Having said that i’ll be straight back at the next opportunity.
