It is best to understand that this is a "Wine Bar" in the context of being in a working class suburb of Leeds. And though the area is being gentrified by an influx of "woke" hipster types it might be best to limit ones expectations. It is more a bar than wine bar but this is not to denigrate the bar as it is really rather pleasant.
Please note, my review is based on a number of visits in the afternoon rather than evening time. I prefer to visit bars and pubs in the day time.
Firstly, no children and no dogs allowed. For me it is a bonus not to have children in the bar. Though I have no objections to dogs.
It has one serving bar and then the seating area is spread to every side of this bar, mostly on the ground floor and there are some interesting vaulted alcoves. It is quite dark in side. There is a nice outside seating area covered by a veranda, which gets very popular in warmer weather.
The bar attracts a varied mix of clientele and is amazingly always quite busy, even in mid week afternoons. I have always found the atmosphere to be clam and friendly. It is also evident that women feel safe and comfortable as there is often a number of different groups of women in the bar.
There is a good selection of draught beers and lagers as well as spirits, and of course they sell wine! Though strangely they don't sell a large 250ml glass! The drinks are all reasonably priced.
The food menu is quite extensive and there are some black board specials. The food is well presented and good value.
While not rude the staff often appear disinterested in customers. Though they offer an efficient and quick service but there is little to no chat or banter to be had with the staff.
The toilets are clean and presentable and the bar is also clean and looks well maintained.

For an old style pub it's clean which is always a good start. The bar lady was pleasant, and the food is good for the money you pay. I'd definitely return without question!

Quirky old fashioned pub. Great seating areas away from the bar to chat and drink. We had a great time. Staff polite and the pub was reasonably clean for an old style pub.

Went with my friend, we had a "special" lunch. Very nice small Dinner. Roast beef Yorkshire pudding cabbage and carrots. Thoroughly enjoyed my Monday dinner just enough , presented well. Friendly staff. Would definitely go again.

The food was simple Sunday lunch BUT cooked to perfection . Such great value for money . Lots of fresh veg and meat of three (I think?) choices . Lovely desserts too . Last but by no means least the staff were all lovely . We were served quickly and they couldn't do enough for us !!! I definitely recommend it and will certainly be back !!

Nice cosy little bar with great selection of wines and good bar. Service good, toilets clean and do good food I hear although we came at night. Found a cosy little nook with lovely lighting and great atmosphere when you are out with the girls.

Great place, local to me and friendly. Always like to call in here for a beer. Decent selection of drinks always served to a high standard, never had a bad pint and I like my Guinness so it has to be poured well. Always served spot on and always with a smile. I wouldn't say I'm a regular but I do visit a bit and you are always made to feel welcome. Staff are very friendly and it's good to see regular faces and new faces too. All in all, a cracking establishment.
