Property details
Located in Leeds town centre, directly opposite the main hospital, Doherty & Doyle sits in a high-footfall area close to student accommodation, Leeds Crown Court, the police station, the town hall, the medical school, and a conference centre. Positioned on a main cycle route into the city centre and surrounded by ongoing regeneration, the pub is well placed to attract passing trade throughout the day and into the evening.
With 7,933 adults within a 10-minute walk and around 1,000 adults passing by every hour, the site has strong local and transient trade potential. The pub has been closed since 2022, so the refurbishment is a chance to reopen it with a fresh identity and reposition it for a broader and more diverse customer base, including younger professionals, after-work socialisers, hospital and court workers, and general walk-ins. The pub is one of only a handful of nearby competitors, with just two named rivals in the area.
The pub trading area and facilities post-refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with bar
- Snug area
- Separate games and sports zone
- 66 internal covers
- 16 external covers
- Catering kitchen
- HEINEKEN SmartDispense
- Pub garden
- One-bedroom self-contained private flat with a new kitchen and bathroom
The private accommodation consists of one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
