Leeds is fortunate enough to be chock-full of pubs. From trendy new options to old favourites.
The city certainly doesn't have a shortage of watering holes, whether you are in the city centre or the suburbs. But nothing quite beats having a pint in a pub dripping with character.
We decided to ask our readers to help us find 11 of the pubs that stand out for their atmosphere in Leeds. It was a request that had our Facebook page flooded with suggestions and we had more responses than we truly expected!
Having managed to narrow down the list, see which pubs the Yorkshire Evening Post FB followers named as having the most character. Tell us which ones you would add if you could!
