About this place Templar

The Templar, still called the Templar Hotel on its signage, is a traditional city-centre pub on Templar Street in Leeds, run by Greene King. Despite the name it is a pub, not a place to stay: it serves real ale. It is a mainstream pub listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue. Google reviewers rate it 4.6 from over 1,000 reviews, which is high for a pub. It is a few minutes' walk from the Victoria Quarter and Kirkgate Market, and Leeds' gay bars on Lower Briggate are about ten minutes away on foot. Check Greene King's site for food and opening hours.

Great value for money drinks! I went in on a Saturday night when they had the DJ! Will be visiting again.

Good selection of real ales and friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have omitted one star because I believe they now need to curb their prices
