Disappointing and a sign that a good range of beer alone - this time from the estimable Ossett brewery - is not always enough. The interior is cavernous and very much like a chain pub (which this is given that there is a similar joint in nearby Saltaire), the pizza toppings sound ill thought out and an attempt to add character by putting pics of local musicians on the walls give the place the feel of a temple to landfill indie (The Cribs, Kaiser Chiefs).

An Ossett Brewery-tied bar that is directly under Leeds train station, with a downstairs area and an upstairs seating part. On the very large bar the ales were- Ossett Big Red, Ossett Silver King, Ossett Yorkshire Blonde, Ossett Excelsior, Ilkley Hanging Stone, Jennings Cocker Hoop, Everands Sunchaser Golden Ale, North Riding Brewery Cascade pale ale. I went for the Excelsior at 3.40 so quite pricey but it was well kept and was a decent pint. It's a very large place in here. When I initially got here it was dead but about half way through my drink a load of office workers came in. It's an interesting enough place to look at and the interior is quite unique with its location. The bar just felt quite soulless in here abd very dimly lit and even the large group of people coming in didn't help this. An okay place and not far from the station so might be worth a look in before your train, I was a bit disappointed though.

5 Ossett beers and 4 guests. All looked in good condition, the Big Red, 4.0 was great. Live music, covering Amy Winehouse at the moment. Not busy, but not sure why not. Worth the short walk from town.

Excellent choice of beers in the arches under the railway station on the canal side. The quality of all we had was very good.

A decent pub under the railway arches overlooking the wharf with outside seating area at the front. A very good selection of cask ales at very reasonable prices for the area. Recommended; well worth a visit.

Ossett brewery tap in Granary Wharf under the station and it just happened to be opposite my hotel.
Pub number 2 & beer number 2...11 ales on the pumps with 4 offerings from Ossett Brewery, I opted for a pint of their Pale Gold @ 3.8%. Listed as a session ale this is quite a creamy beer and maybe not what I was expecting....good nonetheless and superbly priced at £2.70....makes the Scarbrough Hotel seem expensive!
A few drinkers in on my mid afternoon visit.
Large seating area out the front which is perfect to sit out in decent weather, which Friday was.
All in all a very good bar, great beer choice and cheap too.
Brewery Tap or 'Spoons next decisions decisions!

Good use of the railway arches but the entrance is on the river/canal side. Within easy walking distance of the station. Good range of the Ossett Brewery beers plus a couple of guests. Mezzanine floor and plenty of room for all. They do food which comes in polystyrene containers!! I have used this bar several times as it is just across the road from the LUFC bus stop (but it doesn't get football rowdies !!)

An Osset Brewery pub underneath the arches below Leeds station - not as easy to find as it could be. Pretty much what you would expect from a railway arch turned pub. Has the full range of Osset brews and a few guests ales all i sampled were in decent nic.
