Tucked away in a little known quarter of Leeds, North Bar is the pinicle of intermate idiosyncracies. The fact that it is not known by many adds to its charm and attraction. A laid back yet friendly atmosphere entices in all who stray off the usual beaten track of public houses with Leeds City Centre.

With a wide range of European beers and real ale, it appeals to a wider range of people. Those lucky few who are aware of this gem cherish every moment. For those who have not yet visited, I recommend you do.

An enchanted atmosphere caught up in the magic of fine beer and ale, all at reasonable prices makes this a bar not to be missed anymore. If you want a new experience and to break away from the usual craziness of the busy and loud nightlife in Leeds head straight to North Bar. All the good go North.]]> Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:47:44 +0000 /review/uk/leeds/bar-pub/1m51s77/north-bar/1h8fu8990412806 sharki 53.799623748823 -1.5414482047627 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/leeds/bar-pub/1m51s77/north-bar/1t2d98

Great Bar. Great Atmosphere. Great Location. However, it loses points for me due to the weird smell that lingers within. Also, its incredibly small and can become cramped.

They dont really serve hot food. Only sandwiches,k that they are willing to heat up for you if needs be. But, nopthing looks or smells fresh. The beer tastes weird and they dont have a great selection of bottles.

The bar is always over flowing with happy looking students and trendies. But, the seem happy being shoulder to shoulder ( yet still shouting at each other to communicate).

It has some great surrounding pubs and bars, and of course. Gate Crasher, which is situated on the same street. Be carefull in this area late at night though, as it can get very rough.]]> Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:37:24 +0000 /review/uk/leeds/bar-pub/1m51s77/north-bar/1t2d98515718846 Tezza_Richards 53.799623748823 -1.5414482047627 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/leeds/bar-pub/1m51s77/north-bar/1y8a47

Mon - Thurs nights for a quick beer after work, maybe even Friday or Saturday teatime, North Bar is the perfect location to chill with a couple of friends, a few beers and a chat. Fast forward to the weekend however and it's warm, crowded and almost impossible to breathe; the sign of a good bar is being rammed at weekends and this must make North Bar one of the best in Leeds.

Beers range from the sublime to the ridiculous, but they have a number of old faithfuls and there's always a good selection, a great range of spirits too.

Be funky or casual but a shirt and tie will leave you sticking out like a sore thumb.

The music adds to the chilled vibe, definitely a wind down bar rather than a prelude to a night clubbing.]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:58:29 +0000 /review/uk/leeds/bar-pub/1m51s77/north-bar/1y8a471081796957 caz1892 53.799623748823 -1.5414482047627 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/leeds/bar-pub/1m51s77/north-bar/1259f8

Without a doubt, the North Bar is the best bar in central Leeds. It can be tricky to find and gets stupidly busy on Friday and Saturday nights so do yourself a favour and go on a Sunday afternoon to read the papers and watch the world go by.

The beer selection is amazing and the staff know their stuff. There's everything from local ales to world beers and the selection constantly changes.]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 09:24:03 +0000 /review/uk/leeds/bar-pub/1m51s77/north-bar/1259f81619750116 andymurd 53.799623748823 -1.5414482047627 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/leeds/bar-pub/1m51s77/north-bar/156567

North Bar isn't the biggest of bars but it must have the best selection of continental beers in Leeds. They claim to stock around 70 different beers at any one time and who am I to argue! Belgium and German beers are particular favourites!

It's a cool and lively place with very helpful staff. It's definitely worth a visit. Note that it gets very busy later on.

My only grumble is the late DJ slot which is unnecessary and a bit out of place. ]]> Fri, 19 Oct 2007 19:04:28 +0000 /review/uk/leeds/bar-pub/1m51s77/north-bar/156567365080641 bigandy 53.799623748823 -1.5414482047627
