The summer of football is upon us. From June 14th, you can expect office sweepstakes, soccer chat and lots of complaining about England’s performance. Here’s our list of the best spots to watch the beautiful game in Leeds this summer.
The Palace, Kirkgate
From Russia with love this summer, our almost neighbour, The Palace will be showing every single game of the tournament. You can book a table to make sure you secure a top notch seat to cheer from. No stranger to screening sport, The Palace will provide you with a traditional atmosphere and strong pint too. Find out more, here.
Wapentake, Kirkgate
Our neighbour on the other side, Wapentake, is also a great choice when it comes to football viewing. If you’re looking for a hattrick of great food, nice beer and cosy surroundings, this one is for you. They also do a fantastic selection of cakes and coffee, if you’re watching the game while nursing a hangover. Check it out, here.
Lucky Number 7, Grand Arcade
The former home of Ham & Friends in the Grand Arcade, this New York Ale House has more than 20 beer taps, shuffleboard and some US-style bar snacks to boot. It’s the new kid on the block but not one to be overlooked when it comes to the football. Take a look, here.
Belgrave Music Hall, Belgrave Street
If Lucky Number 7 is a little crowded and you “think it’s all over” (we’re sorry, we couldn’t help it!) for your chances of watching the game, fear not! Belgrave will also be screening the tournament and you can grab some pizza at half time too! All you need to know is here.
The Faversham, Springfield Mount
The final spot on our list has to be The Faversham. A little more further afield, but a good choice all the same. Nip out to the terrace if you can’t stand the tension of the penalty shoot-outs and enjoy some awesome food, craft beer or a cocktail or two while you watch. Avoid a footy viewing “own goal” and visit here.
Where will you be watching the football this summer?
