Only
recently did it again become the New Inn. That is to say, despite
the fact it has always been the New Inn to its regulars, it went
through a period of ersatz Irishness as O'Hagans.
Now it has reverted to its old name again, and thus the New Inn
is born...or reborn.
Its
traditional name does little to distinguish it, being the most common
pub name in Leeds. But the pub does have its charms, nevertheless.
No
Tick
Look up as you enter the front door and you will see the whimsical
clock on the outside wall announcing No Tick and, no, nobody can
remember when it did tick...if ever.
A central
bar serves a knocked-through room which has been turned into three
separate areas, one with a pool table.
It
did seem to lose some of its atmosphere when it became O’Hagans
during the height of the mock Irish pub boom some years ago, but
it may well be on the way back now.
Blockbuster
This watering hole is found just yards around the corner from the
Cottage Road Cinema, so if you want you can down a pint before the
curtain goes up on the latest blockbuster.
Finally,
the New Inn does have a "beer garden" of sorts - a few tables by
the side of one of Leeds' busiest roads.
