The Cardigan Arms

“Authentic pub with beautiful decor and a wide range of tasty beers.”

Mark Nicholson★★★★★

As expected the Kirkstall beers are top notch with the brewery being < a mile down the road. Retains its multi roomed format as Tetleys intended. A must visit for pub interior connoisseurs.

William Copeland★★★★★

Got dinner here with my brother for his birthday. Excellent selection of Casca’s and a full bar. I had a few beers and the fish and chips – the fish and chips was extraordinary, I would even go as far as to say it was some of the best Fish and chips I’ve had in my entire life. Overall, I would totally go back and highly recommend it. As a bonus, this place is a really spooky haunted type vibe – squeaky floors, all the old rooms appear to be old bedrooms, or something of the sort, and have a lot of character. Eat and drink here!

Shounak Chakrabarti★★★★★

A traditional British pub with a historic decor. The staff and the food both were top notch. It was raining when I visited and the ambiance just elevated my entire experience. The price is a bit on the higher side but that’s understandable based on the quality and portion sizes. Excellent choices of beer, but again a bit heavy on the wallet. The toilets have seen better days and are in dire need of a revamp. Nevertheless, 10/10 recommended and will come back again when in Leeds.

Richard Hart★★★★

Was grand. Felt like a real locals pub with everyone knowing each other and the barstaff and little welcome outside that bubble. Pints were good and no complaints about the cask beers.
