Alley Cats, Leeds

Taken over by North Brewing and due to reopen early November 2023.

A thin box conversion to craft bar, four off beat kegs on a T-bar, some bottles and cans in a fridge but not the ones advertised outside, maybe they were hiding. Eclectic decor incorporating all sorts including an electronic dart board. Constant music some from a pile of vinyl. Furnished with forms and benches and weird table decorations, strange games, art pottery and table lamps and even art pottery table lamps. There’s a PS4 with a stack of games to one side as well as some more conventional board games. Unisex toilet at the back with free feminine hygiene products. Outside seating area beside the main road. The staff are as odd as you might expect; Oh yes: I ordered a half; got a pint.

Music themed cafe-bar. One cask ale available, plus four on tap, supplemented by various cans and bottles.
