Real Ale Ray left this review about The Brew Society
This stunning building is tucked away around the back of the Train Station carpark. Once through the corner entrance you take a couple of steps into the bar and front lounge area. A small lobby area leads you into a rear lounge, where you can find a rustic 5 bar gate stuck to the wall. The pub is floor boarded throughout with dark heritage green painted walls. Four ales on handpump, Craven Brew Bap Black Angus Porter, Ilkley Joshua Jane, Vocation Bread & Butter and Brew York Pale. Plus 8 keg tap serving lagers, ciders and craft beers. I found this place to be pricey and the staff were very corporate and unfriendly.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Brew Society
Attractive old building standing out from its newer neighbours, with some fine detailing on the ground-floor frontage and corner entrance. Bare boards and dark furniture / paintwork in the smallish front bar, corridor seating area and larger rear room. Four handpumps for cask ale - including a Best Bitter from Three Legs Brewing in Uckfield, Sussex - on the counter, plus a good selection of craft keg beers and a cider available from a row of taps on the bar-back. Coffee and cake on the counter too.

Old Boots left this review about The Brew Society
Super Victorian building as described by Will, it’s rather trendy with pricing to match but not hugely for Leeds. Four cask ales were available although from less usual small breweries; my hazy IPA was of mediocre quality. I only fancied a half and the glass was a two thirds measure without a half pint line so I may well have been short measured my companion’s from a different “server” had more liquid in. Comprising two rooms, both were a bit over stuffed on a Saturday afternoon visit. The counter is to the left in the front room with added bar blockers, there is more seating in the rear room. Dark grey paint job, a bit of industrio-agri chic, some nice art works, décorwise a bit of a mish mash then. Fairly typical of this part of Leeds I’d say but better beer than most.
