The Duck & Drake has recently appeared in The Leeds Guide’s Top Ten Pubs in Leeds.

“This is a local pub for local people and we mean that as a compliment. While any landlord can spend a fortune on odds and sods to liven up his pub, we all know it’s the regulars that really infuse a place with personality, and because The Duck & Drake sits a short stumble from the market it’s a haven for many a trader with plenty of tales to tell. With an abundance of guest beers on offer it’s no wonder that The Duck & Drake was the 2001/02 winner of the Leeds Campaign for Real Ale’s Pub of the Year award, and while the décor might not win any interior design awards, remember, this is Kirkgate not Greek Street”
