Lovely friendly staff, very cosy and welcoming bar. A must if you enjoy Belgian and German beers.

Lovely little bar in the centre of horsforth.Greeted at the door and made to feel very welcome, even with the children!Huge selection of beers, including a fair few alcohol free options and a varied menu too.Quiet when we visited. Horsforth doesn't seem to have recovered from lockdown yet.

I visited twice recently, once for a few beers with a friend, the other for date night with my wife. On both occasions, a Tuesday and a Saturday, the place was full, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant, and the beers excellent and reasonably priced. A wide range of (I think) German beers on tap and in bottles. The food (again German vines) included lots of meat heavy dishes which were flavourful and satisfying. There were also vegetarian options that looked (nearly) as good to this carnivore. I will be back here time and again. Highly recommended.

We came here twice this week with our in-laws and loved it! Beer selection is fab of course but they did well on recommending something for every palette and there is a great low alcohol range too! On our second visit we tried the food and really enjoy the bratwurst and pitmaster plates. Great portions. I recommend the beans as a side! The game selection is great too (ask the staff for the secret stash if there isn't anything out on display you like - they keep some back to avoid kiddies breaking them!). Lovely atmosphere both Sunday and Wednesday evening. We'll be back!

Fantastic staff and lovely food. The selection of drinks are great and the servers are so friendly and fun (definitely take them up on their recommendations!) We had the Bratwurst and Pit Master dishes and the portion sizes are large! Great value for money and super tasty. Highly recommend

Food and atmosphere are good. Service is excellent from really knowledgeable guys who really know their stuff and are willing to chat and help you find something you like. Beer selection is fantastic. A real gem at the heart of Horsforth.

Our favourite place in Leeds. It's inviting, comfortable, and exciting to try the vast amount of different beers on offer, with every beer described by flavour so you have a good idea of what you're getting. Staff are excellent, fun to be around and very knowledgable, always able to recommend a perfect beer depending on what mood you're in. We've been going regularly for nearly a year now, and have enjoyed every second. Highly recommend, this place is a hidden gem.

Staff are friendly and attentive. The selection of beers is good and they have a large low/no alcohol collection.The food sounded good on paper but unfortunately we found it dry, too salty and fatty and lacking in flavour. The pit beans were good but the rest wasn't great. We had gone for the sharing plate of different meats with assorted sides. The 'smoked Mac and cheese' had no smokiness or flavour, the coleslaw was too creamy, chips were okay. The meats were dreadful- no flavour at all and very dry- felt like they'd been left to sit under a heat lamp for the entire day. The flat bread that came with the sharing plate was nice.Perhaps the burgers are better...might be worth a gamble but when there are other great pubs out there already selling decent beer and burgers I'll be giving that gamble a miss.

Nice place with a good selection of drinks, aswell as a fridge full of bottled beers. We went in on a Thursday evening, for anyone that might go at that same time, try book a table in advance. A good 3/4 of the tables were reserved for the quiz that they were doing that evening. There's a couple tables upstairs, but it looks like there could be a few more tables fitted into the space.
wine is very expensive. Happy hour for beer is OK.Decor is a bit sparce. Not very inspiring.Owner wearing shorts and plimsolls not a good look.

What a cute place. The staff were all really nice, informative with dietary restrictions and what menu options I could have. The food was lovely and the restaurant was warm and inviting. I’d recommend this place.
Brad Townend
Great bar/kitchen. Friendly team and great drinks selection. A good variety of beers.

We’ve visited The Little Monk quite a few times now and this is the place to go for anyone who loves their continental beers. They really do know their stuff and the choices are endless. The food is also really good! We tried the Kreuzberg kebab which I can definitely recommend. Really fresh and came with 4 different sauces. I’ll be back again very soon!

We had a lovely meal at the Little Monk on Friday, in the snow and ice it was so cosy inside! We had a mixed starter, pad Thai and beef massaman. Really tasty, hot and fresh, the massaman felt authentic, full of whole spices. Then we finished with mango sticky rice to share, lovely! I will say I think the Fritz Kola advertised was just post-mix cola, not a big deal though. Really good Thai food at a reasonable price, and lovely service. Thanks Little Monk! ?
