While it’s good to mix it up, some pubs have got everything you need.
If you get the right balance of a great atmosphere, friendly staff and a decent beer selection, a pub can feel like a second home.
We asked our readers which of the boozers in Leeds they would pick if they could only visit one for the rest of their lives.
We’ve whittled down the near-300 responses into the gallery below to show the 13 most popular picks.
1. Duck & Drake
Duck & Drake on Kirkgate was one of the most popular choices, with readers loving their range of cask ales, live music, tap room and hidden gem of a beer garden. Steve Marriott said: "What's not to like?" | Local Library
2. Whitelock's Ale House
Whitelock's Ale House in the city centre, was another popular pick, with many readers holding fond memories at the boozer. | Local Library
3. The Templar Hotel
The delightfully old-fashioned, Grade-II listed Templar Hotel in Leeds city centre was another favourite. Steeped in history, with Burmantofts tiling on its exterior and traditional wooden panelling inside, it's believed this boozer was originally owned by the Knights Templar. | Local Library
4. The Three Legs
The Three Legs pub on the Headrow, Leeds has been a favourite of many over the years. | James Hardisty/National World
5. The Cardigan Arms
The Cardigan Arms on Kirkstall Road would make a great last-gasp choice. CAMRA previously hailed the Burley pub as “a jewel in the Leeds pub heritage crown”. Built in 1893, the pub is praised for its “traditional tap room, ornate woodwork, etched glass and bell pushes” - “having it all and more besides”. | Simon Hulme
6. The Miggy Arms
The Middleton Arms - fondly remembered as 'The Miggy Arms' - would be resurrected for a few readers. | Local Library
