The iconic city centre pub will be celebrating all the very best local breweries at its beer festival later this month.
There's nothing quite like a nice fresh pint, and we all know Whitelock's Ale House know how to pour a good one.
And luckily for us, they'll be hosting their incredible beer festival later this month on Thursday 20 to Saturday 23 June from 11am each day.
The festival, which first launched back in 2016, has a new theme each year.
The theme this year? Leeds.
Well more specifically, 'Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!' as the pub aims to celebrate all things local beer over the course of the weekend, shining a light on all the fantastic local breweries in the region.
Leeds legends Northern Monk and Kirkstall Brewery will be making an appearance, as well as some smaller breweries such as Piglove and Meanwood Brewery.
They will all be coming together to Turk's Head Yard to celebrate local beer in all its glory.
Assistant general manager Kotryna spoke about the festival: “I think it's important that such an iconic venue plays its role in the community. “Whitelock’s is known for championing the best in local beers and produce and the best of local people and therefore, ‘Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!’ is a natural theme in that respect.
“It's also important that we bring something unique to the city each year. Leeds has a habit of not celebrating itself as much as it probably should. We are kind of quiet about how good we are sometimes and it's nice to be able to do something that's focused on what is good about Leeds’ beer scene.”
Whilst you're there, you can also sample Whitelock's new summer menu which is being released the week before. What fantastic timing.
Entry is completely free so show up, have a couple pints and say cheers to how brilliant our beer is in Leeds!
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
