With local gems in every neighbourhood to the city centre venue that’s just been named Leeds’ best bar, there is no shortage of great independent watering holes in our city..
But sometimes, the familiarity and comfort of a Wetherspoon might be just what we’re after on a Friday night.
We asked our readers which Wetherspoons was the best in and around Leeds - and these were the most recommended:
13. The Three Hulats, Chapel Allerton
5. Chapel Allerton's Wetherspoon underwent a major refurbishment right before the pandemic hit. It is the fifth most recommended pub by YEP readers. | National World Photo: National World
14. Wetherspoon, Leeds Train Station
4. Steven Freeman said: "Leeds train station. The barstaff are friendly and have given my mates and myself coupons for reduced prices in the past." John Robson added: "Railway station. Full English Breakfast in three minutes!" | James Hardisty/National World Photo: James Hardisty
15. The Cuthbert Brodrick, Millennium Square
3. Overlooking Millennium Square, and sitting right next to O2 Academy, its no wonder Cuthbert Broderick was the third most recommended Spoons. | National World Photo: National World
16. The Golden Beam, Headingley
2. Golden Beam is located right between two of Leeds' busiest student areas. It was the second most recommended Wetherspoon by our readers. | Google Photo: Google
17. Stick or Twist, city centre
1. Stick or Twist sits conveniently right next to First Direct Arena and Merrion Centre. It is the most popular Wetherspoon with our readers, including Mark George, who said: "Stick or Twist - toilets are on the same floor as the bar!" | Steve Riding/National World Photo: Steve Riding
