Foley’s Tap House plans to celebrate its long-awaited return with a Queen's Platinum Jubilee takeover weekend, complete with a special line-up of guest ales just as its previous regulars would expect.
Located in a magnificent Grade II listed building on the Headrow, the Black Sheep Brewery pub has 12 cask lines in total, with six serving Black Sheep’s own beers and six serving guest beers on rotation.

It will also be offering Black Sheep’s 5 Barrel Project range, showcasing specialist craft beers from the Yorkshire brewery.
Brewery chief executive Charlene Lyons said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be able to open the doors of Mr Foley’s once again – and just in time for the four-day, celebratory weekend.
“We know that Foley’s has been sorely missed by many Leeds locals since its closure in March 2020, so we hope that the people of Leeds will come along to our takeover weekend and join us in raising a glass to the Queen."

Along with the guest beers will be a permanently available selection of Yorkshire-based Black Sheep Brewery’s beers, including its new carbon neutral cask beer, Respire.
Foley’s is also soon to install screens with Sky Sports and BT, ready for the World Cup later this year.
