I used to work at the casino around the corner but didn't come here as often as some of my co-workers. (Some of them would do double shifts on the tables - 2pm until 4am - and they would come here on their hour off in the evening.) The recently reopened pub is looking gorgeous - I remembered it as being a bit grungy 30 years ago. There are four cask beers from Yorkshire breweries, of which I had three halves (for research purposes). The Ossett White Rat was very good, the Kirkstall Bitter decent and the Wensleydale Semer Water unimpressive but neither stale nor off. Average NBSS 3.3ish. Worth seeking out.

Still open in January 2018 and full of punters watching the footie. Decent pint of Leeds pale on the bar and a good quality dart board to keep us occupied for an hour.

A nice double tap with the Fox & Newt, with a set of steps connecting the two.

Reports of The Highland's closure have been rather premature. The pub is still very much open, but the threat from developers Depho is ongoing. A recent review in the Yorkshire Evening Post notes that staff, regulars and now Leeds Civic Trust are fighting the pub's cause.
