It's changed! I walked down there today and it's been given a make-over and called something else... I'm hoping it has moved?

My favourite was 'The Hop' but am open, I like Sandanista, The Wardrobe and Aglassto
Really! I need to find out some more info! Could just be a name change maybe?

I don't think so, unless Mojo's is changing into a modern looking bar. Very disappointing if it has closed - I'm hoping it's moved somewhere as it's an ace bar

Go over the river from the Hilton, turn right at Bridgewater Place. Have drinks at the Midnight Bell and Cross Keys. Then I would suggest food at The Foundry Wine Bar (by far the most consistantly good food in Leeds city). Free glass of bubbly each on arrival (print off a voucher from here: http://www.gravy-train.co.uk/discounts/voucher/fou...
Other good drinking venue would be The Adelphi. Gutted about Mojo's (there's a For Sale board on it). It always had great music and a very cool atmosphere.

Good calls - the Engine House is worth a look too in that area, had some nice meals there in the past:

That's awesome work.

I only moved here myself recently although went to Uni in Leeds a little while ago so got a head start.

Will be using this interactive bar crawl next weekend thank you very much smile

Sounds as though there's enough of us to organise a few beers one night. Anyone fancy it? Next Thursday/Friday?

Would that involve leaving the house and talking to actual people?

I'm game, my banter's rubbish though.

Thanks for the PM Snozz.

I'm actually a Sheffielder, won't be able to make next week as its a bit short notice and i'd require a hotel or something but in the future i'd be up for it.

I got the PM too (only just remember, and at work atm so can't get private PMs). I actually live a little way outside of Leeds (so needs time to prepare!), and neither thursdays (Msc till 9pm in Middlesborough) or Fridays (work till 10pm) are ever any good. If people are keen in the future though, with a bit more notice I could be up for it.

Got PM but couldn't find on FB. Maybe set up a "Page" that we could join?
