The Leeds pub guide! Part one

The Ship 71a Briggate City Centre Leeds
http://www.theshipleeds.co.uk/

This cozy little pub is located in the middle of the city, squezzed in between shops and actually a bit hard to find, but certainly worth a visit of three.

The beers are cheap (£3.20 for a pint of Carling) and the selection is good, there are nine different beers and several more if you prefer bottled beer. The are also known for their great selection a cask beer, cask is not that known in Denmark but I can recommend that you try it out if going to UK or Ireland.

There is also a chef working so if the beers can't fill you up, you can get a bite to eat in there as well.

O'Neill's Leeds 26 Great George Street, Leeds, LS1 3D

A great pub just behind the Henry Moore museum, the first times I was in Leeds I came here alot, but this time we did not spend that much time down here, mainly because the no longer showed football on saturday and sunday.

O'Neill's have a big selection of beer aswell and offer the great Smithwicks at just around £2, Carling cost £3.30 a pint, so as every other franchise pub they are a bit on the expensive side. The food is cheap, quickly delĂ­vered and wonderful, so certainly worth a visit if you want a good steak or a good homemade burger.
Saturdays they often have a live band which is always good fun.

Nicholson's (BelowScarbrough Hotel) Bishopsgate Street, Leeds, LS1 5DY
http://www.nicholsonspubs.co.uk/thescarbroughhotelbishopsgatestreetleeds/

Another great Leeds pub (aren't they all?), this seems to be a place people who don't go clubbing go out, loads of people and full steam all night long - this was the place that had the latest opening hours of the pubs we visited.

They have a selection of 18 diffenrent beers and quite a few of them are cask, which I again recommend that you try out. Prices in here were very reasonable, Carling costing £2.75 which is cheap when you look at location and customer flow. They also had a good food card, eventhough we only came in for the beer.

Best thing about this place was the fact that the bartender below looked exactly like a friend of mine though!
