Whitelock’s, Leeds
“It’s got a Christmassy feel all year round,” insists general manager David Herbert, and you can kind of see what he means. Hidden down a ginnel in the city centre, this low-ceilinged, historic (established in 1715) Leeds classic is – with its splendid period interior and glowing coal fire – a self-contained pocket of good cheer; a cocoon of boozy comfort in a cold, harsh world. Its adjacent sister bar, the Turk’s Head, pushes a more radical line in craft beer but Whitelock’s is no slouch. Alongside its traditional real ales you will now find cask beers from adventurous UK micros and two craft keg lines pouring Northern Monk’s Eternal session IPA and Thornbridge’s Jaipur.
• Pint from £3.60. Turks Head Yard, 0113 245 3950, whitelocksleeds.com. Open Mon-Thurs 11am-midnight, Fri-Sat 11am-1am, Sun 11am-11pm
