‘This hasn’t been an easy decision’ – beloved Leeds city centre pub announces shock closure

Such a shame.

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall - 29th June 2026

After 12 fantastic years of pouring pints for the city, Tapped Leeds has shut its doors.

Whether or not you enjoy a pint or two, you will have walked past and noticed Tapped Leeds if you often frequent the city centre.

Standing proudly on Boar Lane, Tapped was always full of punters looking for a few drinks before hopping on or hopping off the train.

Known for their ever-changing taps and on-site brewing where you could watch the masters at work, it was a real staple of the Leeds beer scene.

But after 12 years, the owners have made the tough decision to pour their very last pint.

Announcing the news, Tapped Leeds said: "After 12 incredible years pouring beers, brewing on site and being part of the amazing Leeds beer scene, we're announcing that Tapped Leeds will be closing its foors for the final time this Sunday 28 June.

"This hasn't been an easy decision, but as our lease comes towards renewal we feel now is the right time for us to call last orders on this chapter.

"From the very first pint poured on Boar Lane, we've been lucky enough to welcome thousands of amazing customers through our doors. Whether you joined us for a quick pint after work, discovered a new favourite beer from our ever-changing taps, watched our brewers at work, or shared one of our freshly-made pizzas with friends - you've all helped make Tapped what it became.

"We're incredibly proud of everything we've achieved: the beers we've brewed, the friendships made, the team members who've been part of the journey, and the role we've played in Leeds' brilliant independent beer community."

We're incredibly sad to see them go, and we wish them all the best for the future.

Award-winning Leeds brewery reveals plans for biggest beer festival yet

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

Hop City, the UK’s first hop-led beer festival from Leeds-based brewery Northern Monk, is returning next year for a landmark 10th birthday celebration.

And this time it's going to be bigger and better than ever before, take place across two sessions on Saturday 15 May 2027 and held at Project House for the first time.

Hop City 10 will be the brewery’s biggest festival yet with over 300 beers from 50 producers, up from this year’s 35, coming to Leeds from across the US, Europe and the UK.

The first guest announcement includes Vermont-based The Alchemist, regarded as one of the pioneers of the Hazy beer synonymous with the festival, joining Northern Monk for the first time since the inaugural Hop City; and Delaware’s Dogfish Head, another highly respected US brewer who last poured for Hop City in 2023.

There will also be many more no/low choices and more non-beer options, including Manchester’s Stiff Tea Brewing Company and their signature Hard Kombucha.

Tickets to Hop City include entry and access to the festival throughout your chosen session, all of the entertainment on offer, an exclusive Hop City 10 glass and all of your sample pours throughout your session. Sounds like a pretty good deal if you ask us.

Russell Bisset, Founder of Northern Monk: “It’s hard to believe that we’re celebrating a decade of Hop City.

“We’re pulling out all the stops for its 10th anniversary, taking everything people already love about the festival to the next level whilst bringing in new experiences, collaborations and features that we’ve never had the space to deliver before.

“We’re also excited to be welcoming some of our brewing heroes to Leeds, including the founders of US breweries Alchemist, Dogfish Head and Other Half, who will all be flying over to Leeds. These are people and breweries that we’ve admired for years, so to have them join us to celebrate 10 years of Hop City is really special.

“Whether you’ve been with us since year one or are joining us for the first time, this will be our biggest and most exciting Hop City yet. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone at Project House next year”

Tickets are on sale now, grab yours here.
