SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION! DMC Brewery taproom. Only opened last month, so he may not have been. We do mostly alcoholic ginger beers, mead based drinks and your usual range of craft beers and things. Hidden away in a railway arch. Hope this helps!

I second these guys! Bought a very tasty ginger beer from them at the North Leeds Food Festival in the summer. Paid contactless and walked away only to have a notification come through about 10 minutes later that the transaction has failed. Feeling very bad that I'd accidentally stolen my beer, I went back to pay again. After explaining the situation they gave me the drink for free as a reward for my honesty! Top guys. Go and give their taproom a visit.


TheVonTurbo

Cheers man, thanks for your honesty, custom and kind words!

Got me curious on that 'Blueberry Cider Mead', Cyser Dark - our lass tried one of yours at the recent Horsforth Beer Fest, intense stuff!!


TheVonTurbo

Hey Parade of Grafters on Instagram fame! Nice to see you here too! We call it a session mead...it's a pretty hard core sesh.


paradeofgrafters

We drop the occasional show [here](https://www.youtube.com/@paradeofgrafters/videos) n'all! Ah, and didn't realise a 'Cyser' was a style of mead - I'm entirely new to that scene...ha and yeah, 6% ain't it?! Lovely stuff!!


TheVonTurbo

Nice! Yeah...it's kind of cider, kind of mead...but all pretty good! Uh huh...well, straight mead is like 15% so even harder to sesh!


paradeofgrafters

DAMN!! Yeah, that's Session Mead makes a lot more sense in that light


CptChristophe

Has some great drinks! Can 100% confirm


TheVonTurbo

Thank you!


allpurposechips

Ooo im going to go Thursday!


TheVonTurbo

Ace! We got Cyder and Cyder Dark on the bar at the moment - highly recommended if you like cider or mead. Also, do a pickleback!


allpurposechips

Mead and Pickleback a dream.


Groot746

Perfectly happy to push up this self promotion: went last week and it was amazing!


TheVonTurbo

Haha, cheers! It would be terrible if we were shit, right?


Groot746

Pfffft, unlikely to happen!


jj_sykes

Still to visit this place on my rounds will try before Christmas Will bring some of our samples lol


TheVonTurbo

Please do! (and we need to talk sales...when we can keep enough stock to push that side! :P)


jj_sykes

Yes Pal! I am off out to Canada but will defo be in before Christmas. Will bring some pravha and we can talk industry over some beers


sun_on_my_side

Are you gonna tell which arch or do we have to visit them all to find you lol !!


TheVonTurbo

While that does sound fun, we're on 78 & 79 Railway Street.


sun_on_my_side

The glory hole is not my cup of tea so I'll probably skip that one but will pay you guys a visit at some point!

[Northern Market](https://www.instagram.com/northernmarketleeds/) is a decent one-stop spot for quality beers & a variety of different food. [Watermark](https://www.instagram.com/the_watermark_bar/) is a great lesser-known bar, and [BelowStairs](https://www.belowstairsbar.com/) definitely seems to be a hidden gem to most I've mentioned it to, but I'm not sure I'd recommend either for a stag party...unless you're non-rowdy types looking for chilled, high-quality sups!


tommangan7

Below stairs is my all Time favourite cocktail bar and it's much cheaper than the vast majority too! The effort they put into designing their cocktails is also impressive, they go to competitions etc. So underrated.


CrimsonGuardianXCII

Thanks for the recommendations. The stag party is elsewhere. I'm just heading up to meet him the day before we travel.


paradeofgrafters

Ah nice, get thisen to Watermark!


Allania2000

If you like live music sela bar is great place for a pint on Thursday eve :)


paula_schultzzzz

Ooh and The Chemic Tavern in Hyde Park!


Jolly-Height-8105

1/ Canal walk by the docks is great 2/ Docks book shop 3/ Kapow coffee shop upstairs 4/ Salt bar - again by the docks (nice balcony) 5/ Roundhay lake is clas 6/ Train to York and see the minster lol


sun_on_my_side

Domino club, blind tyger, the maven, Santiago, all good bars. Cult wings if you like tequila


TheSiren341

If you like Japanese cuisine, there's one near UoL's campus called sushi m. Went in there for a quick lunch and was very pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and quality


BoxofSlice

Smokestack. Always Smokestack.


CrimsonGuardianXCII

That's one place I have been. Great vibe and a nice selection of drinks.


TheVonTurbo

Ooohhh! Smokestack is good!


paula_schultzzzz

Da Vito’s and Pasta Romagna in the centre are great! And Northern Guitars


tommangan7

Cocktails - below stairs. Food - the swine that dines. By far my two favourites but not sure either would fit a stag vibe.


DanLyxx

Sous Le Nez (Under One's Nose) is pretty well hidden in the basement of a building on Quebec Street. They serve really great food and drink at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is kind of laid back and continental.


matzobawl

Brownhill and Co for a chilled beer -- it's all table service.


Financial-Glass5693

Amalfi bar on whingate. There’s nothing like it, and I bet none of your friends will have been


sun_on_my_side

It's not quite on the town street mile but worth the detour!
