The Fox & Newt

Old man boozers will always make the average twentysomething or student feel uneasy, but when they have gig listings as strong as the Fox & Newt’s it is hard to stay away. Located near the university and within spitting distance of one of the city’s largest blocks of student accommodation, Fox & Newt hosts an eclectic clientele, from gig-going musos and local regulars to adventurous students, and perennial bottle-gazing drunkards.

Leeds’ last remaining City Centre Brew-Pub, Fox & Newt now plays host to Burley Street Brewhouse, and a recent conversion by the new owners has seen the unused upper floor transformed into a brand new fully equipped live music and comedy venue.

Like its sister pub, The Pack Horse, The Fox & Newt boasts a popular food menu, a variety of draught products and a plentiful selection of intriguing bottles and spirits – not to mention the eight real-ale hand pull pumps that always stock a selection of straight-from-the-brewery beers alongside an array of seasonal guest ales.
