New pub added to popular Otley Run route and you can even take your dog with you

Another Leeds bar has been added to the beloved Otley Run route.

Handsome Brewery in Woodhouse Road, Leeds city centre, has now been named pub number 13 on the 16-pub-long crawl route. Let's face it, you're not truly an adopted Yorkshireman or Leeds lass unless you've completed the champion of all Leeds bar crawls.

The Otley Run sees hundreds of people every weekend dressed head-to-toe in costume to see if they can tackle every pub on the famous route. While the route's pubs have remained the same for a while, on occasion they have been shaken up. Now, craft, art, and music bar Handsome Bar will be one of the stops.

The Handsome Brewery, originating in the Lake District, is said be a "charming creature, born from a marriage of taste and passion for the craft of fine ales". One reviewer said it is a "lovely little pub with great service", while another added it is "really nice and cosy".

The bar, which opened just last year, promises a range of craft ales, stouts and lagers paired with art and music. It also serves a range of hot drinks, spirits, and two-for-one cocktails.

What's more, the venue is dog friendly - "make sure you bring your pooches with you when you come see us", owners said.
