Three's A Crowd, Leeds

One room place with bar to rear. Decent selection of ales on offer. Quite full on Saturday afternoon.

I agree with previous reviewers: "shabby chic", "this is how a modern style bar should be", "good pub, would return here". A pleasant contrast to the more recently established Brunswick, the Reliance has the atmosphere and character that perhaps having a few years under its belt has given it. The building is more impressive, too, which probably helps. The beer is well kept (a Good Beer Guide listing for 2008 - I don't know why it has been dropped) and we enjoyed our visit here. Date of visit: 23rd November 2015

Called in here on Saturday night and was impressed with the menu so we ate here. The bar is as OB describes below, so I won't add to it. The Reliance badged beer is definitely Acorn Barnsley Bitter. I asked, they said yes it was, but not to tell anyone, so I haven't :-)) Very good it was too. The food was good as well. I had Wood Pigeon Breast on Red Cabbage and Mutton Shoulder on minted potatoes. The other half had garlic Mushrooms on Brioche and Pork Belly with Sweet Potato. A couple of pints and a couple of red wines and it was just over £40, very good value. All the staff were smart, attentive and efficient. This is how a modern style bar should be!! Pretty impressed all round.
