Leeds’ pub scene is unparalleled - every ward in the city has a fantastic watering hole but oftentimes, we head to those in the city centre.
To make it easier for you to venture out a little more, we have rounded up 14 of the best pubs in Leeds beyond the city centre.
On this list, there is one in Headingley, which is infamous for the Otley Run, and a few in Kirkstall, which is home to Leeds-favourite Kirkstall Brewery.
