Pubs and Bars
From cosy countryside inns to lively city-centre hotspots, Leicestershire’s pubs and bars offer something for everyone. Whether you're after a quiet pint by a roaring fire, a locally brewed ale in a traditional village pub, or expertly mixed cocktails in a stylish bar, you’ll find the perfect spot to unwind.

The regions’ vibrant mix of old and new makes every visit a discovery—think timber-beamed taverns with centuries of history, and modern venues pouring the latest craft creations.
Many pubs serve delicious food made with locally sourced ingredients, while others host live music, quiz nights, and beer festivals that showcase the best of Leicestershire’s community spirit. Whatever your taste, you’re never far from a friendly welcome and a great atmosphere.
