The Merchant, Leeds

Very much a spoons-a-like on Woodhouse Lane. Ground floor only as the Merrion Centre occupies the upper floors of the concrete block of a building. Two pulls with dreary Doombar and Ghost Ship and not in the best of health either. Four T-Bars of usual suspects. Spoons like customer demographic, many middle aged men and shoppers, the odd middle aged couple even a couple of young mums with pushchairs and brats. Screens and machines but there’s an interesting bar back.
