The Brew Society, Leeds

Bar and coffee bar that currently opens at 11am during the week. Whilst advertising coffee, I didn't actually notice any coffee drinkers. Most customers were drinking beers. There is a small room at the front, containing the bar on the left. Beyond that is a larger room with more seating and further beyond that was another room that seemed to contain a pool table. A couple of guys were in there when we arrived, but when they departed, they locked the door shut with a padlock. So, I'm not quite sure what was going on there. 3 real ales were on - Ilkley Joshua Jane, Brass Castle Northern Blonde & Two By Two NZ IPA. Craft beers were Kirkstall Virtuous, Northern Monk Faith, Duration Dripping Pitch, Turning Point Yellow Custard & It's Me Or The Solar Farm, Raven Hill Arete & Duckpond/Little Rain Guava Jelly Gose. I was expecting more of a coffee shop than a bar, but the atmosphere was more like the latter, even on a midweek afternoon. This is certainly a handy place to know about and being only a couple of minutes walk from the railway station, it's highly likely we'll be back here.
