Review of Oslo

13 Nov 07, 21:53

Slightly Prententious City Bar 3*

Oslo on Briggate will be a place that will divide your opinion. Some will see this as a pretentious bar in the centre of leeds resembling a science fiction film set. Others will see it as something a bit different with a great vibe to it. I'm in the latter and although some of the people here aren't the most pleasant of people, you can get that in any place you drink. I think its worth trying this place for a quick drink but maybe not worth staying there all night.

Review of North Bar

13 Nov 07, 21:40

Great Selection of Beers 4*

The North Bar on New Briggate has a great selection beers behind the bar. Probably the best selection in the centre of leeds and probably one of the biggest I've seen outside of London. Because of this wide variety the place has developed a bit of a following and is busy pretty much of the time. It certainly gives the place an atmosphere driven by the buzz of young groups of people meeting up to socialize here. I think everyone who lives or visits leeds should come here at least once and see that places outside the captial can have something about them without seeming fake.

Review of Mojo

13 Nov 07, 21:35

Fun Weekend Nights but expensive cocktails 3*

Mojo's on Merrion Street has a reputation for having some really good nights especially on a Saturday night. I went here one night and the first thing that hit me was an odd smell, probably that of beer spillt on a wet carpet giving off a nice damp aroma. Another thing about Mojo's is the expensive cocktails, although nice, are just too pricey too enjoy all night. As you can imagine then, there aren't many students here although there is a young vibrant crowd that do turn up. I'd only give this place a 3 out of 5 as a result.

Review of Beckett's Bank

13 Nov 07, 21:27

Stereotypical City Centre Pub 3*

Residing on Park Row, Beckett's Bank is the name of one of the Wetherspoon city centre pubs in Leeds. It's a huge place inside probably exasperated by the huge ceiling. Because it's huge, it attracts a lot of people on the weekend especially when they do one of their theme weeks or nights like Halloween or recently the real ale festival. Nevertheless its a good pub and you get what you pay for.

Review of Angel Inn

13 Nov 07, 21:21

Samuel Smith Pub in Centre of Leeds 3*

Tucked away down an alley, between two shopping precincts, The Angel is a large pub in the centre of Leeds. This is a typical Samuel Smith pub with old wood interior and cheap beer on tap. It's got a bit of character about it and the staff are very friendly but because the beer is cheap it only seems to attract people who you wouldn't want to take home.
