The pub was last open for trading on 23 March 2020, but the Black Sheep Brewery pub will open again for trading next week.
Opening its doors once more, much-loved Leeds pub Foley's, owned by Black Sheep Brewery, has been missed by locals over the past two years.
The last day of opening was before what we now know to be the Covid-19 pandemic and series of related lockdowns.

The tap house is now set to reopen over the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend, with a takeover from Oslo-based brewery, Amundsen, take over the guest keg lines, and Yorkshire brewery, Turning Point, take over the guest cask lines.
In addition to this, guest beers will sit alongside a permanently available selection of Yorkshire-based Black Sheep Brewery’s beers, including a new carbon neutral cask beer, named Respire.
In total, there will be twelve cask lines, evenly split between Black Sheep and revolving guest offerings. Similarly, a total of ten kegs will be available for guests to sample, including the Black Sheep’s 5 Barrel Project range, which showcases specialist craft beers from the Yorkshire brewer.
Charlene Lyons, CEO at Black Sheep Brewery, commented: “We’re absolutely delighted to be able to open the doors of Mr Foley’s once again – and just in time for the four-day, celebratory weekend!

“We know that Foley’s has been sorely missed by many Leeds locals since its closure in March 2020, so we hope that the people of Leeds will come along to our takeover weekend and join us in raising a glass to the Queen!”
The pub plans to remain open for the foreseeable, with the introduction of Sky Sports and BT coming to the taphouse just in time for the World Cup later this year.

Major DJ has set cancelled as overcrowding concerns continue at Leeds Festival
After closing for the entire second day, The Warehouse stage at Leeds Festival has once again been forced to evacuate.
One of the most anticipated dance acts of the day has been cancelled due to health and safety concerns just moments before the set.
Sheffield DJ Silva Bumpa was due to take to The Warehouse stage today at 1:30pm, but the set was cancelled due to overcrowding.
It's not the first time this has happened at Leeds Festival 2026, as yesterday Omar+'s set was cancelled due to the same issue and the stage was subsequently closed for the rest of the day.
The Warehouse stage is completely new for this year, and supposedly is designed specifically for dance music...which is quite ironic.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Silva Bumpa said: "So so sorry Leeds Fest but due to over crowding my set was cancelled last min I was just behind the stage and got told right before such a massive shame."
Prospa, another prominent DJ who's set was cancelled at Reading on Friday afternoon, spoke up on the situation: "We are disappointed in The Warehouse stage closure at Reading Festival. We were told it wasn't possible to play whilst on the way. This was due to too many people outside the stage.
"We have seen this happen before at larger festivals in the UK. It's time to double the capacity of tents or put dance music on the main stage."
It comes after another dance stage, LS23, was closed mid-set last night due to a health and safety hazard when all the lights suddenly switched off and ravers were forced to evacuate.
If yesterday is anything to go by, we wouldn't be surprised if The Warehouse was closed for the rest of the day which means anticipated sets from Rossi and Mall Grab will also be cancelled.

For the second day in a row, a huge set has been cancelled due to overcrowding at Reading and Leeds Festival.
Day two of the festival and there's some pretty disappointed ravers hanging their head as one of the biggest dance music sets of the day is cancelled.
Omar+, a rising British electronic DJ and producer, was due to play on the brand-new Warehouse stage at Reading yesterday and Leeds today.
Yesterday's set was cancelled last minute due to overcrowding, and low and behold the same has happened here in Leeds.
Announcing the sad news to his story, Omar+ said "Actually lost for words. My Leeds set has been cancelled due to overcrowding."
He then went on to show a screenshot of a text message, reading: "I've never seen something like this in my entire life where two shows back to back are cancelled due to overcrowding."
