What an awesome gem of a place!
i had stumbled across this aladins cave of absynth many a time in my earlier years whilst enjoying the otley run.
recently i wanted to have a birthday party somewhere different and intimate- it was the perfect place.
my friends loved it, drinks were cheap, i was able to play my own music and everyone had a great time!
i will recommend strawbs to everyone!
I love this place, great atmosphere and as for not being on the original ottley run, who cares!!! i if you go on the absynth in here during your run i promise it will be your last pub of the night as walking becomes difficult...
Give it a whirl its superb

This place is not big on decor, style or glitz and glam. When it comes down to the knitty gritty this place exhumes an atmosphere that people come all over Leeds for.
Strawbs is most famous for its cheap array of drinks and welcoming atmosphere by the couple who are always at the bar, they must have seen 10093002092 Otley Runs!
Popular with the likes of the Kaiser Chiefs, as shown in the window by an array of pictures of the boys, Strawbs is how shall i put it...different. This place is more like a common room at school than a bar. Plastic seating and giant strawberries on the wall aside, the selection of drinks is somewhat promising. They have a varied cocktail menu, including absinthe cocktails which are dangerous!
I recommend Strawbs for a summers day when you are looking for somewhere a little different to have a good catch up with friends (as the subtle music allows you to actually think, unlike many other bars in Leeds). Although very popular you can quite often be the only people in Strawbs however, this allows for some very amusing conversations with the owners. Drinks wise i always go for blueberry cider or a White Russian. Cheers!
