Sitting among locals, drinking a pint and taking in the cosy (and at times questionable) interior is something that makes heading to the pub a timeless activity.
And fortunately we’re in no short supply of great options here in Leeds, with many having served generations of punters over the decades.
We asked our readers on Facebook to give us their favourite “proper old school pubs” that are still standing in Leeds and received dozens of replies.
There are some well known favourites and a few surprises in there. Check out our gallery of the choices below and let us know in the comments section your top choice.
7. Duck & Drake
Another popular choice, Duck & Drake was chosen by five readers. The boozer dates back to the 1800s and is renowned for its large selection of cask ales, luscious beer garden and frequent live music. | James Hardisty/National World
8. The Grove Inn
The Grove on Back Row in Leeds is a cosy pub that is run by the same team behind Duck & Drake in Kirkgate. Also known for its live music, it is considered a favourite by our readers. | James Hardisty
