2 Leeds beer gardens named among the best in the UK according to reviews

As the warmer weather and lighter evenings are upon us you might be on the lookout for a new beer garden to try out in Leeds. Whether you want somewhere to relax to soak up the sun, a beer garden with a stunning view or somewhere you can watch the football too while having a few drinks, then you’re in luck.

Design My Night has published a list of the best beer gardens in the UK, and some of the best in the country are in Leeds. Leeds is known for being spoilt for choice when it comes to pubs and bars but despite the vast amount of boozers some of them are extra special in the summertime when they have a large outdoor space.

Whether you want a few beers in the sun, or to get merry with a few proseccos at the weekend we have rounded up some of the best beer gardens in Leeds according to Design My Night.
