Water Lane Boathouse, Leeds

Ex-Pour House, similar to before but now with a long counter to the right, there’s no glass dividers either although obviously there’s still two floor levels downstairs. Low seating at benches and tables or chairs and tables on the lower level. Most walls are exposed stone or window. More seating, a pizza oven and toilets are upstairs, there’s just ladies and disabled downstairs. Beer wise there’s four groups of four solos and two hand pumps but only Saltaire Blonde on, I had a Five Points Pale as it was the most interesting beer there.

Conversion of a canalside warehouse into an open-plan pizza restaurant with sanded wood floors and mostly benched seating. A large waterside patio is outside. A reasonable Ossett Blond was on handpump, with a second badged as something from Northern Monk but having run out. On the keg taps were half a dozen craft beers and a similar number of more mainstream stuff. I won't be rushing back but I have been to worse.
