It came as a shock last summer when Foleys Tap House, in The Headrow, closed down.
But just five months later, it was bought by Heywoods Hospitality Group, and the pints were flowing once more.
This week, plans were announced for live music at the city centre venue, as well as a jukebox playing disco tunes and TVs showing the big games throughout the pub.
Landlady Leigh Towse gave the Yorkshire Evening Post a tour of the reopened watering hole -
