| It's been several years since I last visited the Head Of Steam and I don't believe I've reviewed it on here previously. So I paid it a return visit on Thursday. The pub is directly opposite Central station. It is on the first floor of the building. I felt it always had a rough feel to it. But it felt decidedly less edgy on this visit and it may have had a refurb. The ale range was decent - Leeds Pale, Exit 33 Nicaraguan Rum Stout & Light Weight, Brinkburn Canny Sculler & Camerons Blue Mountain Jamaican Coffee & Rum Ale. The cider was Woodhall's Wizard's Sleeve. I enjoyed a swift half of the Camerons beer before moving on. I'm sure I'll be back much sooner. blue_scrumpy - 22 Jan 2017 22:57 |
| Modern first floor bar across the road from the station. Good selection of beers that were well kept. Snarling_Mallard - 1 Dec 2016 11:22 |
| Head Of Steam pubs are now part of the Camerons empire. This has been recently refurbished to a high standard. Up to six real ales on from Camerons and other local breweries. Well worth a trip up the stairs. zipdiskdude - 19 Feb 2016 21:51 |
| The beer I had was exceedingly warm, too warm to enjoy. From the other comments I am guessing this is not normally the case. Thought the atmosphere was OK. jjsint - 26 Jul 2011 12:34 |
| The pub didn't look welcoming at all from the outside, it is probably like this all of the time, but looked even worse, being covered in scaffolding - inside, it's a little dingy, and yes, even a little smelly, whilst some of the women in our group looked questioningly why we were in there - Still reading ? Well, the pub has one saving grace, and that's the decent selction of real ale served on the bar - whilst ever real ale remains relatively 'rare' in city centre's this pub will be okay, but if this becomes more prevalant, then this pub will just become a bit of a hole without the 'different' ale to attract people in. If you like real ale, then visit for one - If not, then maybe a walk past is in order SouthYorkshireman - 11 Jun 2011 15:06 |
