Great old music pub in Leeds centre. Historic live venue. Great ale selection. And growlers/pork pie's. Nice relaxing outdoor garden area. A must visit at the weekends for live music 🎶
The definition of old school watering hole. On a Monday afternoon it was pretty quiet. Music was good but the clientele was a bit sad. The side of the drinking you don’t wanna end up on. Regardless, clearly a live music venue with a stellar draft/cask list to boot. The usual suspects plus many more. The first time I’ve ever seen Golden Best on cask and for £4.30 I immediately said fire it up! Overall in a great area of town being near the touristy markets of the Corn Exchange and Kirkgate. Can’t go wrong here. A legendary pub for a reason.
The Duck and Drake is one of the must go to pubs in Leeds as it has everything a beer drinker wants. The beer is always on top form and there is quite a lot to choose from. I had the two wilde child cask ales, and i can honestly say the gimme s'more was one of the best pints I've ever had, we went to Wilde child the following day and it was on there and the D&D was much better. I also had a pint of the Bank of Dave named after the film of the same name which was partly filmed there. A great traditional pub that is simply awesome.
First time at this establishment, what a night! We attended the Sasquatch & Blind River gig, we've done four on the tour so far and it was hard to believe that this gig was free! How that was possible I honestly don't know. However if the owner and promoters can do that for us the fans and people who've never seen them before, utmost respect and thank you! 🤘 Great graft Ale on tap, food and all the staff friendly and helpful. The sound man was an absolute legend and a gentleman too! If you love live music the Duck & Drake is a must visit! Live for the music!
Great beer, free music, proper pub, quick service, no waiting for girls wanting 4 cocktails when you only want a pint.
Lovely pub with a great selection of beers/ales/bitters. Staff are always friendly and easy going. Treat yourself to a scrumptious pork pie and a pint in the beer garden.
What a cracking venue! Right in the heart of Leeds with love music almost every night, great beers and a great atmosphere! Highly recommend!
Proper English pub with proper locally brewed beers. Called ona Friday night after an event in Leeds, on route back to the train station. There was a live band playing blues and rockabilly style music - brilliant! Friendly locals and hard working bar staff who seemed to know instinctively who was next to be served. Great night, highly recommended.
I don't get in here as often as I once did.
It was like I'd never been away.
I went on a late Saturday afternoon and the place had a very lively trade. The feeling was very cordial and sedate. I was on my lonesome and I caught one or two people's eye and they were really friendly.
Service was quick and efficient and the TT Golden Best that I sampled was the best, it was beautiful.
A really good city centre pub......
Don't change a thing!
Excellent no frills traditional pub. Excellent beer, well kept. Good service. Ossett beer is particularly good.
