Reasonable enough for a station bar, in a slightly curved room with a patio outside and a nice bit of sun streaming in the windows, although this is probably not guaranteed for Leeds. I might have been lucky to catch it at a quieter time, but no problem with service, beer or seating. Guest ales on were Leeds Yorkshire Gold, Elland Nettle Thrasher and Nine Standards Porter.

As Wetherspoon's go, this one is poor. We'd hoped that with all other pubs and bars locally being packed, this one being in the station would be quieter. It was quite the opposite.
Despite the crowds, I managed to get served relatively quickly. The regular Wetherspoon's beers were all on sale - Greene King Abbot, Ruddles Best & Sharp's Doom Bar, alongside a couple of Kirkstall beers - Pale Ale & Black Band Porter. There was no real cider this time around.
We managed to find a table outside the pub on the concourse, where I enjoyed my Porter, in spite of the crowds.

bit of a chavvy nightmare this place, especially when the football fans are in. The air was filled with grease, sweat and fried food today so i rapidly moved on. Decent selection of ales but i would rather drink them just about anywhere else to be honest.

Sometimes difficult to get a seat as you'd expect from a railway bar. The best time is early morning when you can get a breakfast and marvel at the people in there on their third pint already. Reasonable selection of beers but you can be waiting some time before you get served.

Quite possibly the worst Wethers I've ever been in. Its in the station concourse and as such has inflated prices that just aren't worth the trouble of going to the place. A small single room. Much better, and more expensive admittedly, places nearby so go there.

pretty standard station spoons with one long room catering mostly for commuters. There are a good number of hand pulls at inflated prices but nothing to completely bring a tear to the eye. There were a god range of guest beers allong side doombar (£2.70) Gk ipa (£2.50) and abbot (£2.99) I opted for a pint of dale side vote out for £2.99 there were a few others at a price £3.40 for a guest ale such as Acorn Barnsley Bitter. The beer was in a nice condition and there is a nice outside seating area that catches the sun. This is a fine point of call when you have half an hour to spare waiting for a train like I did but I wouldent bother for any other reason.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Wetherspoons (JD Wetherspoon)
Located at the far end of the imposing former station booking hall (a much more interesting place than the dreadful modern concourse). The long, irregularly-shaped bar is partially divided by some screens which helps reduce the apparent scale of the interior. Quite light and bright inside, with an exterior patio and a few tables on the station side of the main entrance. Train departure screens. Ten real ales on handpump, with interesting guest beers such as Daleside New Dawn (£2.70) when I last visited. Overall, it's at the better end of mainline railway station bars.

This Spoons is situated at the end of a long concourse on Leeds train station.
Once inside there is a smallish single room by normal Spoons standards,the room is slightly curved,the longish bar is also curved,there were about 10 pumps on the bar with the usuall Doom Bar and Abbot,the other bank had Christmas beers on,i had a drink of a Moorhouse Christmas beer which went down well after my journey up here.
I could'nt really get a good look of the pub at 10.15 in the morning because it was packed with Leeds fans.
This would be a decent enough Spoons if visited at a quieter time.

I tried to get in here at around 10:30 on my way through in the morning but it was packed to the rafters. I've no idea who they all were but a town security guard on the door suggested I return at 11:00 or 11:30 when they would have gone.
I returned at around 18:30 to find that I could at least get served. I went for a Saltaire New World Red which was in very good nick but at £3.15 is Central London Spoons prices. I felt glad I had not bothered to spend more than an hour in the centre of Leeds.

Busy 'Spoons at back end of station and exactly as you might expect. Good range of beers, although the sampled stout clearly wasn't selling enough. Fit for purpose, but have seeen better.
