Magnificent, is how I'd describe this place. No other word seems appropriate. Gorgeous Victorian interior and a peaceful outdoor alleyway area which were both good spots for a pint. Copper Dragon Golden Pippin was in terrific nick, and this stands out as one of the best pubs I've visited in Leeds, possibly only eclipsed by Foley's on the Headrow.

The Whitelocks was my favourite of all the pubs I managed to take in during a visit to Leeds over the Easter bank holiday weekend.
Fantastic Victorian interior virtually unchanged since 1895, great stained glass windows and collection of brewery mirrors.
AlsoI struck lucky by visiting during the CAMRA cask ale week, because as well as the house ales of Theastons and Deuchars IPA, there was Moorehouse Pride of Pendale, Davenports Spring Fever , Black Sheep Best, Golden Pippin from the Copper Dragon Brewery, Lees Hopping Mad and Lancashire Amber.
And another big plus is its hidden location down an alleyway in the middle of the department stores.
So if you have to accompany the wife shopping, give her as long as she wants in Harvey Nicks whilst you sneak off for a couple of pints.
