the cardigan arms is a real firm for the eys when they first enter, especially when a large traditional Victorian interieur that they did not expect, and a mandant that cannot be wiped or defined by a certain age group floats their boot. halfway to kirkstall road, the cardigan arms has created a call for itself as a live music spot that shows all kinds of musical great, although mostly in the way of upcoming rock bands and volksensembles. the rest of the pubs is a mixture of smaller and larger rooms that allows groups to sit alone, encapsulated by the grandiose setting of their own room, or to mix themselves from the bar, with older pub guests who do not seem to enjoy a younger crowd the venue. friendly, honest, and a beautiful feeling of tradition that breaks down the monotomy of kirkstall roads series of expired takeaways and DIY shops.
