[livejournal.com profile] fuzzygoth's pub crawl of wonderment!

I've badgered [livejournal.com profile] fuzzygoth into arranging his pub crawl for the 31st Jan - ie next Saturday. This should be double good for a lot of you as it's after payday and being a 5th Saturday people hopefully shouldn't have regular commitments :)

So Leeds residents come out and play and lets show Fuzzy (and some of the other newish Leeds peoples like [livejournal.com profile] diceman) where there is to drink in this city and what marvellous people we are :)

There's no itinery set as yet. As he says - eating a hearty lunch is probably a good start - so my suggestion would be starting at the Palace early afternoon as it's sufficiently off to one side of the city centre to allow for directional crawling without looping and does good hearty nosh.

Other pubs I think we should possibly visit:

the Duck and Drake (if it's still the real ale pub of legend that it once was)
Whitelocks
the Angel
the Swan (possibly although it's a bit too posh for my tastes :P )
the Wrens

(any other comments and/or suggestions?)

So who's with us?

Must resist the lure of Leeds...

really should include the fenton as it is a bit of an old school alternative pub, or was once, not been in for years

All good choices! How about the adelphi as well?

the Duck and Drake (if it's still the real ale pub of legend that it once was)
Yup, ale, spit and sawdust gawd bless it!

I've always meant to try a pub crawl including the five pubs down alleys from brigate. You've got 3 of the five in that list already, and you just need to add the ship and the pack horse and you've got the set.

I haven't figured out what I'm doing that weekend. I'm tempted to be in many other places but may not have the energy.

I could be up for it money/boy dependant! Don't really know fuzzy well or some of those pubs but getting to know both (all?) better would be good ;) xxxx

Ow, my liver is twingeing at the thought! But yes, think I'm in :)

Not me.

It's my cousin's engagement party that night and it's also (as my mum has told me) a rare chance to see all three kids in the same place at the same time.
