North Bar

Our Take

Leeds craft beer pioneer that kicked off the city's beer revolution back in 1997 and hasn't stopped since. The compact space fills with beer enthusiasts from lunchtime onwards, all chasing the rotating taps showcasing the best of British and international craft breweries. No outdoor space but the floor-to-ceiling windows and open frontage blur the indoor-outdoor boundary on sunny days. Unpretentious, knowledgeable staff, and a crowd that genuinely appreciates good beer make this essential for afternoon sessions. Dog-friendly throughout because craft beer people love their dogs almost as much as they love IPAs. Day drinking here feels like supporting a Leeds institution—because you are.
