Salt Granary Wharf, Leeds

A new trendy and bustling pizza/bar serving 14 craft beers, 2 hand pulled ales and a wide range of expensive wines. The space consists of a long bar along the right hand wall, with all the craft beers served from the back wall. The craft beers and prices were displayed clearly under each font. The ceiling was open plan with brightly painted steel beams. The bar and seating areas were separated by a low partition wall. The far end of the bar housed the open to view pizza kitchen. The décor near the entrance consisted of some antlers and an animal hind displayed on the wall, most probably from an African Gazelle, hopefully it died of natural causes. The music playing on our visit was manufactured dirge. Beer wise we went for the Fernandes Ale to the Tsar and Rat Brewery White Rat on handpump. Also tried from the Craft beer selection, Meantime London Pale Ale, Fernandes Westgate Wobble, Mahou Spanish lager and the West 4 lager, have to say the West 4 lager was very good. The pizzas we tried were very thin and covered with a lot of vegetation, which were overpriced for what you got.

New Ossett Brewery venture, billed primarily as a craft beer and wine bar, although real ale and real cider will be available. Grand opening 17.04.15.
