Good pubs (Leeds-centric)

Tomorrow I have the pleasure of spending the day in Leeds. I will have a good few hours of quality drinking time to use before attending The Fall / I, Ludicrous show in the evening.

Can anyone suggest any good pubs suitable for afternoon / early evening drinking?

Thanks

hidden down a back lane next to Marks and Spencers.


Incorrect.

Adelphi on the corner of Dock Street- turn right down lower Briggate and keep going, its on the left just over the river.

The Swan- off Briggate at the top end, down the alley opposite Muji. That's a good one.


Same Row, behind that awful surf shop on Briggate

THE ANGEL. It's a Sam Smiths so it's £1.60 a pint.

Avoid downstairs because it's full of abusive locals, but upstairs it's a treat.


I second the Angel..

Wasted so many Fridays after work in there when i lived in Leeds. Eight pints for just over a tenner. Sweet!!!!!


I'm never sure about the Angel

I'm all for the cheap beer and the passable ambience but I always feel like I've caught something when I leave...


It's great when you work in a shop on briggate though

So cheap!

So convenient!


Thanks

will look at beer in the evening for addresses and print off maps at lunch time


i like drydock

its pleasant and there is a barmaid with the biggest chebs ive ever seen


Depends if you want cheap or not

Cheapness - Angel
Best indie bar in town (imo) - Oporto on call lane. Friendly staff, wicked atmosphere, taste beverages. In fact I'll be there tomorrow afternoon!


The Angel

is a good shout.

And the Victoria Hotel on Great George Street is nice. You might see some Emmerdale people in there too if you're unlucky.


Oh


Yes!

North bar is ace too. So much good beer.

Also, is Milos still open? I used to drink in there quite a bit. Bear in mind i haven't lived in Leeds for four years, so i probably don't know half the bars anymore.

Also, the Dry Dock is best in summer, when you can sit on the grass, smoke and dehydrate yourself.


Yeah

Milos is still going, I think, I have no idea where it is but I know I was in there recently.

Feel a bit ashamed as I've been in the ones suggested so far.
