Restoration

An imposing street-corner coaching inn with a Victorian-style interior. Extensively refurbished in the 90s adding a fine counter and bar-back. Reopened as a joint venture by Kirkstall Brewery and Brudenell Social Club. They have done a fantastic job, carefully preserving some of the original splendid ceiling, wall tiling, floor tiling and a big old fireplace. The ornate wooden main bar has been opened out and there is a long, narrow space with three drinking areas with brewery mirrors and a bare-brick finish. A superb outdoor drinking area occupies the former stable yard.
