10 Best Breweries in Roundhay

"Unit 6, Enterprise Complex Walmgate, York, YO1 9TT01904 848448Website. No venue has made a bigger impact on the recent York pub and brewing scene than Brew York Brewery and Tap. It’s already hosted numerous beer festivals and a major expansion in 2018 will see it take over the whole of the former Maltings next door to make it a one-stop food and beer mecca, as well as expanding its brewery capacity."

"Located on Walmgate, the beer garden at Brew York is a hidden gem that overlooks the River Foss and Rowntree’s Wharf. With unique barrel benches and YUZU street food also on offer, make this your next stop for a fresh brew."

"A 15-minute walk from the train station, in a former industrial zone where the warehouses are being repurposed as offices and studio spaces, this site is home to the Northern Monk Brewery Co and, on the first floor, a ruggedly handsome tap room. Naturally, Northern Monk’s beers feature prominently (long on flavour, the zesty, citrussy Eternal Session IPA was in great form) but some 20 lines include plenty of space for potent (in all senses of the word) guest beers, most of them also served in thirds. On this visit these included Kernel’s Export Stout, Cromarty Brewing’s fantastic AKA IPA and Magic Rock’s famous, if not notorious, Human Cannonball – dangerously drinkable at 9.2%."

"A stone’s throw from the train station, Northern Monk is a solid choice, even if you’re not based in the city centre. With street food takeovers on rotation, the kitchen’s always got something to nibble on to soak up all those beers. Just beware, the toilets are unisex, so you might have to time your trips to avoid awkward touch-ups in the mirror…"

"The Old Flax Store, Marshalls Mill, Holbeck, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS11 9YJ. Located on the first floor of the Old Flax Store, this brewery-based refectory hosts regular takeovers from local food vendors, though the focus on the varied styles of beer the ‘monks’ brew."

"Craft beer connoisseurs BrewDog are combining their hoppy sips with old-school games at their North Street bar. As well as boasting 36 draught lines and a delicious menu of pizza, salad and sharing platters, the quirky restaurant also has a number of shuffleboards for those of you looking for a little friendly competition."

"The northern daddies of beer, BrewDog have set up shop in the city with a cool aesthetic and 36 draft beer lines. Perfect for craft beer in Leeds, you're bound to find something on their taps or in the bottles, while you munch on pizzas and play a game of shuffleboard or two."

"A trendy hipster hangout offering unique indie brews which are developed in house and brewed upstairs from the bar. Neighbouring the Brewhouse is the Clubhouse, an event space great for larger parties. On weekends, join in on the fun as Cold Bath host street food vendors, pop-ups and more."

"Posted by Wilde Child Brewing Co. on Wednesday, 29 July 2020. Wilde Child Brewing Co. is a brewery that was founded in 2010 that offers the freshest and finest craft beers. They offer a wide variety of casks and bottled beers with different flavours and mixes that their clients would certainly enjoy."

"It’s currently tasting incredibly moreish at @thecrosskeysdunnington #WhosRoundNext?. #Beer #yorkshirebeer #brewedinyorkshire #yorkshirepub #leedsbrewery. A post shared by Leeds Brewery (@leedsbrewery) on Sep 4, 2020 at 8:01am PDT"

"Of course, Scottish craft brew purveyors BrewDog have earned their title as one of Leeds' best spots for a craft brew. With a dazzling array of creations on tap alongside a fridge full of bottles to explore, they're a top choice for refeshing beer and juicy burgers."

"One of the most popular family attractions in Leeds, Tropical World makes for a fantastic day out. It’s home to one of the biggest collections of tropical plants outside of Kew Gardens, but that’s not what’s going to have the kids excited, because you’ll also find a medley of animals here. You’ll peer into tanks of piranhas, catch a glimpse of their crocodile and walk through rooms filled with butterflies, birds and even bats (don’t worry, there’s a wall of glass to protect you in that one)."

"Boasting the largest collection of tropical plants outside Kew Gardens, Tropical World is also popular for its adorable meerkats, terrapins, turtles, tropical birds and butterflies (which are free to flutter around the attraction). As the name suggests, the tropical origins of its inhabitants mean the attraction is kept warm and humid - but you soon adapt to the balmy setting. Tropical World, Princes Avenue, Roundhay LS8 1DF (within Roundhay Park)."

"Tropical World at Roundhay Park is one of Leeds’ most popular family attractions which offers a unique opportunity to explore the habitats of the Tropics and other hot places from around the world. It includes jungle, desert, nocturnal and aquatic habitats with plants and animals such as crocodiles, lemurs, butterflies, bats, snakes and a gorgeous family of meerkats complete with babies!"

"Heavenly Desserts is a temple for any dessert lover, the dessert bar serves rich and decadent dishes which really do taste heavenly, on offer are everything a sugar junkie can require from cookie dough delicacies to heavenly, fluffy waffles, freshly made Crêpes to indulgent cakes and the creamiest cheesecakes as well as sensational milkshakes. All presented stunningly in an instagramable worthy stylishness. All those delicious treats are served in a luxuriously decorated parlour."

"Heavenly Desserts has now landed in Bradford and the name says it all and is most definitely true. We have just attended their V.I.P launch event (Thank you for the invite!) and loved it, so I had to get typing and share the details with you. Heavenly Desserts has long been a favourite of mine so when I found out there was one opening in Bradford I was excited, it will make dessert decisions a…"

"Try their delicious ice cream and soda fountain set in a 50's diner. With an outdoor play area and play barns come rain or shine this is a fantastic day out for the whole family."
