Wetherspoons, Leeds

A Sunday afternoon visit while I had a 45 minute wait between trains.

10 ales on the hand pumps, I had a decent pint of Dukeries Farmers Branch @ 5.0%.

It was pretty busy but with plenty of bar staff on, the service was quick and attentive.I have used this 'spoons several times over the last few years , its one of the better station pubs, never problem getting served, pleasant clientele and decent ale.

Bar t'at, Ilkley

A Sunday afternoon visit for a beer with the wife.

8 ales on the taps, just like my last visit with my pint of Kirkstall Brewery Three Swords @ 4.5% being very drinkable.

Fairly empty except for a family with very annoying children that they didn’t seem to be bothered about keeping quiet or controlling, it’s a bar not a blinking playground!

The Sunday Roast’s looked good but we only stayed for the one pint. I like Bar T’at it’s very pleasant but this was my 2nd visit when it’s been quiet in here, I’ve no idea why as the ale is good and it’s in a good location.

The Yard, Ilkley

A very late Saturday night, early Sunday morning visit to finish the night off, not through choice just chasing it a bit as it was the last late night drink available.

At least 3 ales on the cask hand pumps and a couple of keg choices, by this time I was done so went for vodka followed by a bottle of peroni!

Packed, mainly full of 20 something's, dj playing and lots of pushing as the bar area is pretty small.

I may venture back in the day on another occasion but cannot see myself returning for a late nighter again.
