Brooklyn Bar, Leeds

Noisy dark cocktail bar nestling next to the railway viaduct at the bottom of Call Lane. It does have draught beer, six keg taps are not very visible on the bar back among all the bottles of spirits. Not a very inspiring selection, I suppose Heinekin’s Camden and Brixton brands might be more exciting than others to some. Usual seating mix in a long thin place, I didn’t check out the upper floor. Bit of a drinking yard out back. Anyone who knows Leeds knows about Call Lane and the dreary bars within.

Brooklyn is a bar that is situated next to a rail bridge. Once inside there is a long narrow room which runs to the rear,the floor is tiled and the bar is on the left side half way down the room,the seating is comfy bench type in bays on the right side. There are no real ales on the bar,which was no surprise,i had a drink of Budweiser which was cold and almost tasteless,there were a few other keg lagers that i failed to note. Very loud background music was playing on my early Saturday night visit. The place seems quite smart and may well appeal to the younger drinkers who flock this area on weekends. Not my sort of bar,but i had to do it when i noticed it open. Pub visited 29/7/2015
