Rank 1. Myrtle Tavern
British
A pub in a Leeds conservation area that won the Great British Pub Awards' Best Pub Garden two years running, and once you see the place, that tracks. What was a car park and field is now a two-tiered outdoor space with a terrace bar, wooden huts, and views over a cricket pitch. The planting is genuinely cared for, pollinator-friendly and all. A solid neighborhood pub where the garden is the whole point.

Rank 1. Pinnacle Sports & Games
Beer Bar
Seventeen screens, three Sky boxes, and sound zones that let different matches play in their own corners of the room: Pinnacle takes the sports pub formula pretty seriously. Pool, darts, and electronic basketball keep things moving between kickoffs, and the family-friendly hours mean it's not purely a fortress of lager and shouting. The 2025 Great British Pub Award for Best Pub to Watch Sport suggests the rebrand landed.

Rank 3. The Highland Laddie
British Pub
Sausage rolls baked to order, ham carved from the joint and finished on the open fireplace, a dedicated mustard menu: the Highland Laddie is a pub that takes the pub seriously. It landed on the Top 50 Gastropubs list, and Jimi Famurewa called it out in The Observer as a northern boozer of unexpected finesse. Come for a pint and leave having somehow eaten rather a lot.
