I hope this reopens soon, but given the extent of the damage it won't be for a few months.
The beery renaissance in Leeds continues:
Ossett Brewery to open Candlebar later this month: Ossett Brewery is opening its latest outlet, the £300,000 Candlebar at Granary Wharf in Leeds, on Friday 24 April. The company already runs a bar called Hop, two minutes' walk away in the railway arches at Granary Wharf, which will concentrate on cask ales, while Candlebar, which is at the foot of Candle House, one of the tallest buildings in Leeds, will serve 14 craft world beers and more than 20 wines by the glass dispensed through Enomatic preservation machines, and pizza from an Italian wood-fired oven. The managing director of Ossett Brewery, Jamie Lawson, said "We of course know both Leeds and Granary Wharf well from our continued success with the Hop, but this venue is totally different to those we have launched previously and we can't wait for others to experience it." Candlebar has a waterside seating area outside, with views across the Leeds-Liverpool canal.

Definitely wins my surreal news article of the week award.

The current Leeds CAMRA newsletter notes:
'An application by Otley Pub Club that was made to Leeds City Council to list all the town's 19 pubs as Assets of Community Value has been successful. It is the first town in the country to have succeeded in a multiple application.'
Impressive.

Actually they missed one; The Roebuck is just over the border in North Yorkshire and is under Harrogate Borough Council, Leeds City Council are responsible for all the others. While Leeds were very open to ACV Harrogate blew The Roebuck out, they have a record of doing that. It is no coincidence that Greg Mulholland lives near Otley and is often seen in Otley's better pubs.
