From friendly local boozers to craft ale houses and gastropubs with top-notch grub, there is something for everyone.
Today is Beer Day Britain, an annual event celebrating beer across the country. The date has been celebrated annually on June 15 since 2015, and is supported by the British Beer and Pub Association, the Society of Independent Brewers and the Campaign for Real Ale.
To mark the occasion, here are the 13 best-rated pubs in Leeds according to Tripadvisor – and what customers had to say.
7. The Brunswick
A customer at The Brunswick, North Street, said: "The Brunswick has the feel of a local but is on the edge of the City Centre so there is a centre vibe about it as well. It is compact and cosy. A fantastic range of beers on tap and the food was very good, with generous portions." Photo: Google
8. Whitakers
A customer at Whitakers in Otley said: "Something for everyone on the menu. Nice to have table service, not many pubs do that. When the weather gets warmer I highly recommend the walled beer garden." Photo: Google
9. The Bankers Cat
A customer at The Bankers Cat, Boar Lane, said: "As a regular guest I can highly recommend this pub. It has a cosy, proper pub feel - which is exactly what I’m after. The beer is great, both cask and keg and it can get quite busy on an evening." Photo: National World
