  • Historic Interior

Established in 1832 The Grove was re-modelled in 1928-29 by its then owners John Smith's of Tadcaster. A traditional four room corridor pub which retains features of historic interest. A tiled entranceway leads to two small rooms on the right and a traditional tap room with dartboard on the left. The larger rear Concert Room is an interwar addition and retains some original perimeter seating, door charge may apply to this room for some evenings. Music is a strong feature throughout the pub and some form of performance can be heard most nights, its folk club started in the early 1960s and is still going strong. Darts, dominoes and chess set are available. Can get very busy before and after Leeds United home games.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Just a short walk from Leeds railway station and engulfed in a setting of towering modern high-rise, the Grove is a comforting reminder of a different age.

Built around 1830, it has a very traditional ‘corridor’ plan but was, in fact, considerably re-modelled by John Smith’s brewery in 1928/1929, when the rear concert room was added. Much old bench seating remains, with an unusual bentwood type in the back snug, but features like the bar fittings are from a 1989 revamp and the doorway to the public bar has clearly been re-positioned.
