Temperatures are dropping as we settle into the autumn season, and we are all looking for cosy ways to spend our evenings.
Enjoying a drink or a meal in a snug pub is a great way to do so, especially if it features a real fire.
We’ve rounded up 15 of the cosiest pubs in Leeds that are the perfect place to shelter, with temperatures expected to plummet next week. These pubs have been picked out by DesignMyNight for their roaring fires, hearty gastro food and plenty of craft beer.
