Mid evening and packed inside due to stumbling on a quiz nite in full swing. Again opted to sit outside at the many perch tables available. Yet another non touristy proper pub atmosphere in suburbia. Just one here before heading off for a tasty sizzling beef stir fry Chinese nearby.

Urbanaut - Atlanta Bright IPA4.60GoodHead shudderingly grapefruity followed by passionfruit lemon and lime which thankfully the palate quickly acclimatised to.

Mid evening and quiet, had a good chat with the almost knowledgeable barman who hails from Leeds however he hadn't heard of the Garden Gate in Hunslet. Umm....
