The Melbourne, Leeds

An odd micro, a brick box with tileing at the side of the corner counter. Usual mix of DIY banquette furniture with short stools but at newish tables. There’s three pulls and six shiny tall keg taps, Guinness and Paulaner on these, more were listed on a board behind the counter but not labelled on the taps, only one cask beer on, Zapato Tent, a murky IPA like beer, not in bad nic for this style. Bottles and stuff are also available. There’s a back room which appears to host live music and stuff. The only toilet I found was labelled as disabled but was so full of crates and high chairs as to make it useless for wheelchair users. Definitely an odd place all round, it’s also got the most scrawny pub dog I’ve ever seen.

New pub from the team behind The Brunswick, in the centre of town. Opening soon.
