Duck And Drake

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.

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!

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!
