Leeds Brewery Midnight Bell in the Whitelocks is a good replacement for Tetleys. Fantastic pint.

Isnt it a listed building or something? It has already been said - prime land - new yuppie flats - equals big profits for some property developer!!

The Adelphi's Tetley's isn't much to write home about any more. You'd be better off with a pint of Taylors.

I agree with you there,I think the demise of pubs came with the introduction of all day drinking.Going for a pint now on sundays lunch is depressing.

Yes it is,but is is a good session drink?I think its about 4.8%?bit too strong for most people who want more than just a couple

Years ago The Whip down in lower Briggate served a cracking pint.

They had the weirdest clientele of any pub I've ever been in though!

That was the last pub in Leeds where women were'nt allowed.In about 1969 when the law's came in a group of liberated ladies came in and they must have thought ugh they can keep it

.Yes it was a great pint of Tetley's construction worker's used get in a lot especially after their saturday morning shift

Problem with the Carlsberg boycott with us being rugby league fans is that Carlsberg/Tetley is the only beer served at grounds.

Wouldn't it be good if no-one bought any though, because lets be honest, its p1ss-poor.

And expensive.

and we would'nt any drunken incidents that are creeping into our game

My Grandad used to work there for over 20 years till retiring around 1987.He told me that it was the best place in Leeds to work for and they even told him after offering the job .."the only way you'll leave is if you sack yourself..keep your nose clean and you've got a job life.."
The stories that came out of that place were fantastic and when he retired they put on a weekly Friday afternoon session for all the old workers in the bar on site.Free beers for all!!! Regularly he came out after a skinful with his mate ran for the bus,sat down huffing and puffing, only to realise they'd got on the wrong one and ended up in east Leeds rather than Moortown!!
One great story is when a mate of his went for a job there, in the stables looking after the shire horses..Mild & Bitter
" Right you've got the job,starting time is 7.When you first get in sweep the yard and clean up..but make sure you do it quietly till 8"
Mate replied " Quietly?? why must i do that?"
"Because the horses dont get up till then"
You couldnt make it up

Ive heard story's like that too ,brilliant,and sad now
