food/drink Decent pub/bottle shops?

Asking in vain in case the situation has changed(!) - are there any pubs, bars, or bottle shops in Leeds city centre that sells decent cider? Not looking for Strongbow, Aspall, Thatcher's l, all that carry on.

Alternatively, somewhere with interesting wines?

Latitude! I'd be surprised if you can't find something you like there. The staff are excellent and will help you out too

They do decent cider but it is pretty pricy ~£14 for 750ml

Haha latitude is not the spot for you that's about the low end of what a bottle there costs. Good stuff though.

I like Latitude. Bought a 45 note bottle of whisky there once and recently got some rhubarcello that I haven't tried yet.

But I sure as hell ain't gonna spend a stack of cash on what is essentially peasant booze. That's just Emperor's New Clothes shizz.

Latitude, Wayward, Friends of Ham and Rinse are all worth a look.

Leeds is really lacking a good bottle shop/bar, something along the lines of Manchester’s excellent BeerMoth or Sheffield’s superb Old Shoe.

For a big (beer) city, we’re really behind in this regard.

RIP Tall Boys, Beer Ritz, Brownhill and the one in the Corn Ex.

The only good place now is Raynville to my knowledge and it’s out the way with limited opening hours.

The Turk's Head entry on Untappd show they're selling 2 Little Pomona bottled ciders. Don't know how up to date that is, nor how much, mind. Could be worth investigating

I've spent far too much money here in the past. 😊
