How do,

The fair ladys parents are stopping over on Friday night so we're all off out for a meal (probably somewhere like Blackhouse).

However her old man is a former CAMRA member and loves a drop of a real quality ale, so I need some recommendations on where to take him for a good pint afterwards, and what to drink? I'm sure he might even know of a few places but I'd like to not look completely daft if he asks me.

Cheers in advance

Missing Quins then?

Dontknow any where in Leeds myself, but the wolly sheep in Skipton gets my vote.

Nice Timmy taylors House.

theres that Leeds brewery place near train station, that could be worth a try

Not ruled that out actually. With him being from Belfast he's a big RU fan and he's only ever seen League on Sky, so it's an option.

Loz - cheers for your suggestion.

The brewery tap(the one Loz mentioned)
The Palace
Town Hall Tavern
Mr Foleys
Whitelocks
The Midnight bell

The Midnight Bell and Brewery tap are Leeds Brewery pubs and I can recommend all of their own ales especially Leeds best bitter

The Pack Horse

Hoagy's, Duck and Drake, Carpe Diem, Regent Inn and Becketts bank!!

I know it's the beer that they serve that gets them in the guide but they are proper sjitholes!!

The Hop in the Dark Arches, an Ossett Brewery pub... and it is between the Midnight Bell and the Brewery Tap the Leeds Brewery pubs!



It is a live music venue as well!

The most iconic pub in Leeds is IMV Whitelocks & they serve Leeds Brewery Products there.
The Fox & Newt opp LMU is owned I believe by the guys who run Wharfside brewery in Pool which was featured in this month's CAMRA magazine.

Strange coincidence, because I just posted this tonight ... [urlhttp://jerrychicken.wordpress.com/2011/02/21/the-highland-and-its-bar-snacks/[/url

Blimey Mr Field sir, way to put a downer on a good blog, didn't see that coming.



Cheers folks, I knew you cans wouldn't let me down.

the westend house in kirkstall

Nice food too

The brown cow in Whitkirk on selby road has got 6 pumps of real ale on. Plus a good range of nice lager. Always a great selection of different types and about 2:40 to 2:60 a pint. Not full of idiots and they do ok food (it's a bit pricey for tha amount you get but it's nice)

Really relaxing place to have a few drinks

I'm missing my real ale big time

The Victoria hotel near the town hall has a cracking selection too

In Leeds centre I'd go to Veritas - a fairly new place owned by the people who run Arcadia in Headingley. They'll have the most diverse range of well keep quality beers. It's on the road just between the bottom part of the LGI and the courts.

Other options already mentioned are Cross keys and Midnight Bell - decent food in these two as well. And the Town Hall Tavern if you particularly like Timothy Taylor beers, although this is all they serve

Wouldn't bother with any of the others mentioned for a quiet family drink or two tbh. North bar is great but might be a bit too 'trendy'. Whitelocks is fairly poor tbh (I used to work there and I wouldn't go drinking there!). The Palace has gone dowhill recently, dont look after the beer well. And the food in the West End is e.

edit ^ yeah there's the Victoria too, which is pretty good and a nice atmosphere generally. Its also very close to Veritas, so you could go check both out.

There's that one down the arndale near you chief can't remember the name. Arcadia?

probably the last traditional loiners city pub THE TEMPLAR

The Templar is my favourite pub for watching the rugby in, the beer is always well kept,although they only tend to keep one or two real ales

but its Tetley's just how it used to be ,the loiner's traditiol beer

The Adelphi used to have the best kept Tetley's in the City... but of course it is next door (well for the moment!!!).
