AGAINST THE GRAIN BAR BRAMLEY — Restaurant in Leeds

Really lovely little bar, needs more seating as it's defintely a first come first served sort of place and it's always so popular when I've been in. I heard there's expansion coming though, so wish them all the best with this, as we will continue to visit for warm up drinks and have really liked it each time, and would risk a larger group outing if we felt it could accommodate in the future to meet there. I do think it could be a little pricey though long term, as once the initial novelty wears off, the area cannot really afford to pay £6 a pint generally. It would be nice if they factor in the local economy with any changes as its a shame to not give the opportunity for residents nearby to have a drink there too and with the national economy, I think planning for winter and maybe lowering drink prices might be an option worth considering.

The food options are well thought out and delicious. I enjoyed the music and the place just has a great atmosphere to it. The stand-out feature for me was the customer service. The owner knows his stuff, history behind drinks and brands etc and it shows in the variety and exclusivity of some of the drinks available. He engaged in conversation with lots of the customers and it's clear he loves what he does. It's the kind of bar I would be proud to own and I look forward to going back and...
