Dating from 1939 the Old Bar still manages to have a pub feel especially on quiet nights. It is located downstairs below ground level and is the only bar in the Union serving cask ale. The guest beers normally come from microbreweries in Yorkshire or the North of England. Opening hours shown only apply during University term time.

Information for this venue is provided by the Leeds Branch of CAMRA
