The Abbey in Leeds

Fantastic pub went in for a couple of pints a little while ago and Sam I think behind the bar was telling me all about the beers they had and the history of the place. Made sure I felt very welcome 5 star pub

Popped in for a quick pint with my son, Ben, while out for a walk along the canal. This was in the afternoon, so only a handful of people inside. We sat outside in the beer garden area, which unfortunately was full of empty beer kegs. Otherwise we enjoyed the walk and the pint.🍺🍺😀👍

come to the pub on Friday and the chef was making the best salt and pepper chips ive ever had , she said its a friday night special . will definitely be back for more!!

Good selection of ales! Lovely location!

Lovely inside with lots of outdoor space. Would be five stars if they had cider on tap, not just bottled.

A friendly welcome, dog friendly and nice food. Have some nice vegetarian options as well. A nice cosy place, or sit outside in warm weather.

Great value meal, excellent fries, steak 'n' ale pie lovely. Wide selection of drinks. Welcoming, happy, chatty staff. Will definitely go again.

Could be a great pub but seemed a bit tired

This is a little gem hidden by the canal what a amazing vibe and time I had here will be returning for the music festival this year

I love the small country side pub vibe! Nice walk from the Kirkstall train station to the pub. Very friendly stuff.

Proper old-fashioned pub, has a good selection of beer.

Old historical building. Looks like a good range of beers including local cask options. They do tea and coffee. Plenty of outdoor seating areas.

Nice little pub, have had a lovely meal here in the past with a decent selection of craft beers

Convenient watering hole, good for a game of pool and a nice pint but it's a little tired, don't take anyone who's a bit snobby.

Staff are very friendly! We had a walk this morning & got there for when it opened. Food was great & have a variety of ciders/beers/ales. Prices are also reasonable! £12 for a pint of Lilleys cider, a pint of Coors & pint of coke. We also had a BLT which came to £5 (but can upgrade and have chips for an extra £2) The staff were also great with our dogs too & gave them a little beefy treat.

Love this pub, but 9pm on a friday night and 6 out of 8 of us left to go home as WE ALL had ice there, none behind the bar for hours, sorry state if affairs, let me know when it's safe to return...

Dropped in on a cold day for a hot drink , sure it was a kettle coffe we were served , very dated pub in need of an update, foisty smell, its in a great location just need investment.

This Inn has a very warm welcome from staff. The atmosphere is family @ dog friendly all chatty with good music vibes. Reasonable priced hot and cold beverages and enjoyed my beef Sunday lunch with sticky toffee pud for £12. Well worth giving a tip for. My friend also loved 😍😁

Lovely atmospheric pub on Christmas day morning. A great merry Christmas greeting at the bar welcomed us as we first walked in!

A very nice pleasing olde world pub lots of wonderful features and a nice menu to choose from from. Would recommend after a nice stroll along the canal towpath taking in the lovely scenery,plenty of ales and spirits available and prices were great especially for the two courses Sunday special £24 for two people

Honestly wasn't expecting much from this pub when I walked up to it on a damp windy Nov evening... How wrong was I! The landlord was very welcoming, the pub was warm and spacious, and lots of conversation going on. The drinks were well priced and a decent selection, even a drink and treat for my woof. There wasn't food on the Wednesday night that we visited, but we got takeout after we had our fill!

Cosy, friendly atmosphere and good honest grub! Lovely for a post-walk pop-in or for a Sunday lunch.

This is how pubs were when I was a kid! Good selection of beers and thankfully darker beers available rather than just the in vogue, hoppy/fuity IPAs which are over running British beer at the minute... Went in with our 10 month old baby and the landlord came over to the table with some toys for him which was very much appreciated and a nice touch. Definitely will be back!

Good food for a very reasonable price. For pub grub this was proper nice, nothing frozen here, pie and burger were both clearly home made and delicious.

Not been in here for a while but glad to report it's still a great and friendly pub with a good selection of real ales and craft beer, Beavertown and Madri were two of the ones available. I won't leave it as long to return this time.

Lovely place to relax and have a nice cold pint and service with a smile.when the sun is out nice to sit outside with a refreshing pint.

Really nice good value food. Roast dinner for £9.

Stopped off on a dog walk and a lovely pint of cider and some biwls for dog water, friendly helpful staff, we did not have food.

Typical, cozy English pub in Horsforth.

Such a lovely pub and the atmosphere is great. Love how the lib has so much history displayed on the walls inside. Even had a little tour of the tunnels downstairs. Would 100% recommend!

The barman noticed we was looking at the photos on the wall and told us all about the history of the abbey tunnel and went above and beyond to SHOW us the history of the pub. 5* is not enough of a rating, definitely the new local for us!

Great local pub. Great yearly beer festival. Nice for a walk break if on the canal nearby also

Que to get a Token to then que to get a beer . How does that work?

Went to the Abbey beer and music festival Great bands great company great atmosphere Parking is limited but a great day all in all 👍

Another visit to the beer festival today. It was the third day and there was a limited choice left, however, this shows its popularity . Friendly staff and great music

It's in a really nice location. Dog friendly pub. Needs some TLC.

Great food in great place. Hanna our waitress has a happy smiling face and will do well. Thank you Hanna

been here quite a few times over the years and the food just gets better and better went yesterday with the wife for a quiet pint in the cozyness if this place and i ordered the steak and ale pie which was thee best pie ive ever eaten, the pastry was thin and not clumpy and soggy it was delicious and full of steak and gravy how a pie should be and the wufe had gourmet burger and she ate the lot (can be fussy aswell) but the food here is great if you want a nice meal and pint after a walk up the canal drop in here you wont be dissapointed. well done guys beautiful lasagne by the way

Drinks ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibe⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very polite staff. Popped in for a quick drink while walking m.mmhe pooch

Decent old fashioned pub. Rotating beers all kept well. Bit of a pet hate of mine - beers rarely served in the right glass. Vocation in Camden for example.

Good Ales and a very friendly atmosphere. Great British pub 😄

Always a great place to go for a drink. Its near the canal so brilliant to call during a walk

Really pleasant and friendly boozer at the end of a walk down the Leeds Liverpool canal from the train station. Close to Kirkstall Abbey and the Kirkstall Forge Railway Station. Well worth a visit.

Great Cosy Pub nestled between the river and canal. Ideal stop off point for walks in the area. Great choice of real ales and homely atmosphere.

Cosy dog friendly pub with excellent choice of beers.

Had my dogs 20th birthday party here in january recently. Great old fashioned pub. The most dog friendly pub I've ever been to. Cheap good food. Pub was full in in start of Jan! Will def be coming back for some grub after a walk in the area. Never even knew there was this scenery here and views or that this little road even existed! Great find!

Nice little pub, tucked away down near the canal. Nice selection of beer and ale with friendly staff. And according to some ghost hunters I once saw there, one of the most haunted pubs in Yorkshire. EDIT No change. Still a great pub. Enough of a drink choice to please most palates with new guest ales regularly.

Didn't visit the pub as it wasn't open but there is a great little caravan serving hot and cold drinks and breakfast sandwiches and ice creams until the pub opens.

Cosy little pub, great for a drink whilst walking along the canal

Really friendly pub with fantastic wholesome food. Lovely to go for a walk along the canal and go for a meal afterwards. Enjoy trying the different guest beers too

Nice enough pub with a good range of beers. Food not up to much.

Very welcome mulled wine on a very cold day

Great friendly place,good bar staff,nice drinks and good entertainment.

Always wide selection of good beers, great food, relaxed atmosphere and quality pub. Popular stop for a walk down the canal, dog friendly and outside seating which is busy all summer. Annual beer festival is worth a visit, regular quiz and event nights.

I rang twice to confirm that the pub was wheelchair friendly. Based on their assurance, four of us went with view to having a late lunch. When asked, one member of staff said that the Gents toilet is for the disabled, which it isn't. Another member of staff confirmed that they didn't have a disabled toilet, Having already bought a round of drinks, we then left for obvious reasons! If you are wheelchair bound, do not go to this pub.

If you’re not local you don’t get served before any of locals. They saw me and kept going to next person.waited 7 mins with 6 people in some of whom came in after us and got served quickly

Love this place. Decent beer, off the beaten track, nice, welcoming atmosphere.

Great pub, always a warm welcome, well kept beer, pleasant environment

Popped in as in the area. Not been in for years. Same as and a good selection of ales etc. Still the same smell we were accustomed to from years ago.

Amazing little find great location, amazing staff. The chef was so nice to make the kids some chicken nuggets from scratch. the atmosphere was perfect after a family walk we will be back again. The drinks on offer are fairly priced and and the food was amazing burgers are to die for. Thanks to the abbey inn

Do not eat here if you are a coeliac. We specifically ordered gluten-free meals and it transpires that they were not. We asked multiple times to ensure that Miles would it be gluten-free. We were assured they would be. Three hours after leaving one of our party has spent two hours in bed and a further 30 minutes throwing up. We would not recommend.

Very friendly welcome great ales

Friendly staff. Nice outdoor area. Situated in a lovely place

A lovely pub with friendly staff and clientele.

Very poor beer poured without sparkle On give it a miss

Have visited this pub for many years always great beer and atmosphere!

A very busy and popular pub, over 2 levels with a bar at street level and another on lower ground floor accessed via the car park and beer garden. During our visit the cricket had been abandoned due to heavy rain so an influx of customers but the staff seemed to cope really well. My husband was disappointed that no guiness served but there were a couple of stouts he tried instead, one good and one band, this was exchanged without a quibble. A huge range of beers on offer which pleased all our group.

Nice and friendly and a lovely jar of easy rider.. 👍👍

Great beers and welcome watering hole to stop and have a drink after a good walk on the canal.

Lovely pub, bar staff very friendly, and when a gig on, its amazing

Fantastic little pub just out of the way and relaxing. Cannal is just at side so can cut off for a walk

Dead fly in drink but still drank it. Good pla e good local area

Lovely piece but could really do with the very outdoor sound system

Great time at the beer festival. Very well organised, great bands too

Great outside space, sadly we didnt get any roasts because apparently you have to call and book in advance, so next time, just wish they had some more snacks on offer not just chips and baguettes.

Very nice old school pub. Great for a pit stop during a canal walk.

Great day out good atmosphere can't beat live music sunshine and real ale

Always love visiting this pub. Great selection of beers, great staff and comfortable environment.

Lovely cosy pub, plenty of space outside

Visited my daughter in Leeds. Walked along the canal and stopped here for a well earned drink. Sat in the beer garden with my dog. Good afternoon

We often walk along the canal but we’d not stopped here before. I am really pleased we did as the staff, beer garden and the lovely jubilee themed outdoor BBQ was a winner with us on a warm and sunny day. Drinks were decently priced (apple juice, 3 large coke’s and pint of bitter) - £16. The BBQ outside was really good. My boys all enjoyed their freshly cooked hotdogs, burgers and chips. We stayed for a good hour before heading back along the canal. We will be back.

We were blowing up our inflatable kayak by the canal and realized we had a puncture, went to the pub to see if they could help and gave up a roll of parcel tape, amazing staff.

Nice dog friendly pub by the canal. Nice outside area.a but dark inside but think thays the character of the pub. Good for food. Can get very busy as only a small pub. Really friendly staff, very welcoming.

Toilets broken but staff friendly.

Friendly, good prices and good ale. Loads of outdoor seating, can get full quickly. Ale was excellent, staff offered ale testers when I was unsure which was very kind👍 . Next time will sample the food and maybe hit a few more of those beers and ales ! An excellent local pub.

Lovely little pub good beers nice staff

Very run down to how I remember it! Meal just OK

Pure Quality. No other comment needed

Sunday baguettes are banging, nice selection, no pub weirdo types, jukebox, and a few ghosts 5/5

Great local pub. Dog friendly. Guest ales. Friendly staff.

Excellent ales and landlord is a gentleman!

Brilliant local pub. Allows dogs.

Excellent atmosphere and pub meals. Highly recommended.

I specifically came here for lunch because I enjoyed my last lunch here. Again I was very impressed. I had the smashed burger which didn't disappoint. The burger was juicy and delicious (I added blue cheese and onion rings) the onion rings were fresh, the batter was crisp, the chips crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside and the fresh slaw was tasty and lightly dressed. The chef obviously cooks with passion and with an attention to detail not only in taste and with flavour combinations but also with the presentation.

Always come to this pub in summer time with my family and it's a lovely pub but disappointed on the Sunday service with food today. We booked a table for 2.30 and yes I get it was very busy but to be waiting well over and hour and half for food is not acceptable. We asked how long our food was going to be to be told I will find out and be told it wouldn't be long. In the mean time other customers that got there quite a while after us got their food first? Clearly I think they forgot about our order at that point. If that was the case why not just tell us that? I understand mistakes happen. In all fairness the food was ok just would like to be told what's going on.

I re-visited this local diamond yesterday and after months of absence I was surprised to find that things had changed for the better. The variation and selection of beer was more than I could handle. My other half particularly enjoyed Cider and well, here they had it all. Our children were also well looked after. Amazing taste, Old Rosie for the person who enjoys the old style and Katy which was a new addition. More of an ale person I chose the Leffe, pure bliss, price was cheap. Dog Friendly and the children were thrilled. Considering the Bridge was charging £5.80 here only £4. Enjoyed the Fish and Chips which were excellent quality - the staff always went out of there way to make you feel welcome.

Very nice. Clean and well presented. The staff were lovely and the coffee was a nice big one freshly made.

Good selection of beers nice pub

An absolutely lovely pint of Guinness Well worth the hour & half walk along the canal out of Leeds. But maybe next time I'll catch the train to Kirkstall forge less than a 10 minutes walk away.
