Eagle Tavern, Leeds

A famous Leeds pub given its position on the way into the city centre from the North. Closed for a long time by Sam Smiths for one of their usual meticulous and expensive make overs. Worth the wait as this is an not unexpected high quality refurb to the highest standards. It's a multi-roomed pub with high quality furnishings and decor. One bar to the front has the counter with the wide selection of Sam's (only) kegs but no Old Brewery Bitter. I did notice the no electronic devices and swearing ban being flouted - whatever would Mr Humphrey say. Off the main corridor there are a selection of sitting rooms. Apparently it has letting rooms upstairs too, while the Gents is in the cellar which appears to lead to drainage problems. There is a pool table in one room.
