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.
The tiramisu hype lives on, and this time it's coming to Leeds.
It really does feel like the traditional Italian dessert has taken the world by storm as of late.
Everything from tiramisu cups and tiramisu coffees have been popping up all over our feed, and now tiramisu in drawer form is popping up in the city centre.
Misu Tiramisu is an independent business that began at Manchester's Christmas Markets and quickly became one of the most popular operators, all thanks to its miniature tiramisu ‘drawers’.

The individually portioned and colourfully packaged desserts quickly became one of town’s top puddings, and owners Aleem and Aishah went on to launch a stand inside the Manchester Arndale too.
And now they’re branching out again in Leeds inside Trinity shopping centre for a two month residency.
You’ll find all their delicious flavours of handmade tiramisu, including classic, pistachio, chocolate, Biscoff, mango, and lemon - they'll also have some gluten-free tiramisu on offer as well, so no one has to miss out.

Misu Tiramisu owners Aleem and Aishah spent a year refining the recipe for their tiramisus after a trip to Milan, first launching with their first market stall in Sale.
Misu Tiramisu is now open inside Trinity shopping centre opposite Boots Opticians and Pop Specs.
They're open every day of the week for you to get your tiramisu fix, from 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and from 11am to 5pm on a Sunday.
And trust us Leeds, they're just as delicious as they are adorable.
Fossilised 320-million-year-old fish found in Leeds’ Roundhay Park
Clementine Hall
A prehistoric fish fossil has been unearthed at Roundhay Park in Leeds.
The fascinating prehistoric skull bone of a coelacanth fish was discovered by a geologist at Roundhay Park earlier this year.
It is thought the creature was frozen in time aeons ago, during an era when the park was submerged under a vast tropical lagoon.
The remarkable discovery has now been kindly donated to Leeds Museums and Galleries and added to the natural sciences collection at Leeds Discovery Centre.

The Leeds fossil was found by Ru Smith of the Yorkshire Geological Society during a reconnaissance walk he was carrying out ahead of a planned field excursion in the north Leeds park.
Describing the moment he made the discovery, Ru said: “There’s a layer of rock in the park which dates from around 320 million years ago, from a time before the breakup of the continents, when what is now the park would have been situated close the Equator and under the warm waters of a tropical lagoon. West Central Africa would be a good place to find similar environments in the present.
“There’s a bed of freshwater mussels called Carbonicola at one level in the rock, and opening a piece of shale from this bed in my hands I saw something unusual – a distinctive skull bone of a large fish. I knew straight away this was something different and very rare."
The bone was verified byexperts as belonging to a coelacanth older than those found elsewhere in Yorkshire, making it the oldest fossil coelacanth discovered in the region.
Ru added: “Coelacanths are pretty amazing fish and it’s just very cool to think that at one time, you could have been standing in Leeds and watching them swim around above a bed of mussels in Roundhay Park.
“That’s really the wonder of geology, looking at the rock and time travelling in the imagination to what was a very different world.”
