A quiet intimate gay bar right in the middle of Leeds gay quarter, hidden down a alleyway but worth checking it out. Yeah the place hasn’t really changed in the last 30 years since it opened but that’s the appeal, I would say it’s where the older ( 40+) generation hang out. Can be a bit quiet but usually fills up at the weekend. Very friendly and chatty bar staff, price for price I’d say it’s on par with any other pubin Leeds for prices. Definitely recommend a visit
