Prince Of Wales

Strangely gloomy and a bit of a throwback in time to old style pubs. This is a small pub on the corner in the shade of the railway bridge, sporting a pool table in the back and a few tvs for the rugby at the front.
It appears to be under new management, so this review could be out of date should it be refurbished, but a depressing lack of ales makes it tough to find a redeeming feature which would appeal to anyone under 50, who doesn’t want to spend their day quietly sipping lager and giving their opinions on the latest sporting issues.

One of many traditional pubs in Leeds, The Prince of Wales provides such a venue for passengers to and fro-​ing from nearby Leeds Train Station. Although it has stiff competition from neighbouring Spencer’s and The Scarborough Hotel, this pub has a beguiling charm of its own.
Rumoured to be the first pub in Leeds to sell the delicious Black Sheep beer, this pub has four cask ale hand pumps and is definitely a place to find a tasty tipple at a prudent price. When inside The Prince of Wales, the pub feels as though it is in a bit of a time warp. The heavily patterned carpets accommodate dated fruit machines, and wooden booths are all crammed into the tiny space.
After undergoing a fairly recent refurbishment, I consider this pub to have raised its profile to an extent. Especially during the Summer months, where the pub does create an outdoor seating area. Forget the idyllic outdoor beer garden arenas of the countryside however, and expect a pollutant filled experience that is customary within urban settings.
Although I would probably prefer to visit one of the alternative old pubs in the vicinity, The Prince of Wales does offer a convenient pit stop en route to the station.
