Backstreet pub in Holbeck that we'd not planned to visit beforehand. With the football special bus service dropping us off here instead of its advertised destination of the city centre, we had just a 2-minute walk to get to the pub. You enter through a corridor with a couple of rooms either side. The one on the left has access to the bar, whilst there is also access from the corridor itself. Although you're likely to create an obstruction if ordering from there. We didn't venture any further, as there was a live band playing in the (apparently larger) rear room. We settled for one of the front bars and briefly got chatting to a few friendly locals about the football match that evening. It would have been easy to have settled in here for the evening, but I was looking to fit in another pub (or two)! Daleside Blonde is the regular ale. Guests were Ilkley Mary Jane, Rooster's Londinium & White Rose, Skinner's Betty Stogs & Ringwood Razor Back. The cider was Old Rosie. A decent local boozer that I hope to return to some day to explore further.

Excellent traditional local with good beer and close to the station. Still has nice separated rooms
