The Drink

There are up-to 17-lines of hand pulled ales and lagers – Kirkstall Brewery,  a burgeoning local brewery that is continuing the brewing legacy of the Cistercian monks, actually owns the pub; so you can expect a fair few Kirkstall brews!

If beer isn’t your thing you can also choose from cocktails, spritz, mixers, and soft drinks including tea and coffee.

The Place

Built in 1896 with an eye on the affluent new housing developments of Lord Cardigan’s Leeds estates, the ‘Cardi’ is outstanding for the overall completeness of its compartmentalised interior.

It retains much of its as-built décor and fittings with extensive use made of etched glass, fine woodwork, ornamented ceilings and wall-coverings. There are also signs of a 1930s makeover, namely the tiling in the right-hand corridor and gents’, and woodwork in the Oak Room.

The bar-fittings are from restoration work in the 1980s by its long-time owners, Joshua Tetley & Son.

The Cardigan Arms also dog friendly, so great for a post/pre dog walk. There are a few decent dog friendly places in Leeds. If you are interested in the others take a look at our list of dog friendly pubs in Leeds.
