Graham Coombs left this review about The White Swan
As mentioned in previous reviews, a former Leeds Brewery pub adjoining and strongly connected to the City Varieties Theatre. I was not expecting a great deal from the modern exterior but was pleasantly surprised to find a good selection of 7 regional cask ales. The decor has been done in a 1920s sort of style - incredibly fake but not unpleasant - and it certainly had a more relaxing feel than the other pubs nearby. I was quite happy here.

In spite of Leeds brewery having flogged off its pubs the Swan still has their core four beers on two of the three banks of four pulls, the others with Yorkshire beers (Brass Castle, Saltaire) plus one from present owners Camerons and a seasonal; again from Leeds (Pumpkin Ale so definitely avoided). Nowt else has changed, a few good European beers in the fridge and no hint of fishy smells even on a Friday. Beer cold but decent if not special.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The White Swan
I have experienced this on a few occasions now and it puts me off a place instantly. We walked in here mid Saturday afternoon and the pub was busy. Now for my gripe, the whole pub had a strong smell of cooked fish, which was tainting the air. They had a good choice of ales on the bar, unfortunately I didn't enjoy my Ossett Silver King, because of the strong fish aromas. I do eat fish, it's just when it smells a place out puts me off.
