1st time visiting the Bankers Cat and was not disappointed, I enjoy Thornbridge beers and did the Brewery tour at Bakewell last year. The place ozes charm and quality with traditional dark wood across the huge wooden bar. Staff are really friendly and welcoming with a large range of Thornbridge and collaboration beers in tap. I had the Lord Marples and at 4:50 for a beer of this quality what's not to like. Looking forward to coming again next time I'm in Leeds

A great find on a rainy cold day in Leeds. Cosy and relaxed atmosphere. The dark wood and decor and booths very comfortable and welcoming. Loved the gallery of cats on the stairwell to the rest rooms. Service friendly and beer lovely. If you are in Leeds you must visit

My new favourite Leeds pub. Lovely inside, splendid selection of ales (not seen Easy Rider since the Fat Cat, Sheffield, years ago) and must be top of your list of pubs to visit in Leeds.

I am in Leeds with a couple of hours to spare each week and have been exploring many of the pubs. What a diverse selection there is in Leeds. The Bankers Cat has a very comfortable atmosphere. It is handy for the train station. The beer selection is superb, I drink half pints to experience more beers. Some are available in thirds. Leeds.......too many great pubs, so little time, but this one is now always on my list.

This was a superb pub for drinking, with a bright and grand interior! The seating has its own booths showing a pretty style, counter is smartly presented too. I enjoyed the Czech lager available here, relaxing with my friends at a clean, smooth table!
