As we welcome in the New Year we may be looking forward to experiencing new things - including new pubs and clubs.
But when we say new, we mean drinking spots that some of us may have never visited before, despite receiving plenty of praise from those who have had the pleasure of enjoying a drink in them.
We have a guide to the 10 most popular pubs and clubs across Leeds that you need to visit in 2026 - and what customers had to say about their experience on Tripadvisor.
