| Another pub that you walk past when around Leeds and think you wouldn't dare go in there. I took the plunge and went into the downstairs bar/ 'Lounge bar', which was actually quite small. Barmaid in here was a bit miserable really, but there was a lad on the bar who seemed quite cheery. It's a Sam Smiths pub and does do Old Brewery Bitter, but it's all keg. I went for a taddy lager and at 2.20 it's well priced, expecially for the city centre. The patrons in here all seemed okay to be honest, I didn't hear any swearing when I was in here, with it being such a small room therevwas a bit of cross room talking. I stood by the window which gives a good view of what happens by the bus station and Leeds market. There is a picture frame with a brief history of the General himself. What really stuck out to me was that there was a fruit machine in here, I though Humphrey Smith was against this kind of thing. An interesting enough place and worth a look in if it's not too busy.

| I'm not surprised there are no reviews yet posted for this place as it would strike a normal observer speechless. I've seen a few pubs in my time good, bad & ugly but this place is unclassifiable; cramped, dirty, customers yelling obscenities at each other or their imaginary enemies, dull eyed bar person ignoring whatever passes for responsible service of alcohol regulation in these parts. All this at 1.00pm, in the city centre. I had a swift pint of Brewery Bitter (1.80); the entertainment provided deserved a purchase, though I swiftly necked it & fled as some unwanted attention turned to me.
