Built in 1896, this is a classic, grade II listed Victorian pub with four rooms off an L-shaped bar area. Re-opened in 2017 as a Kirkstall Brewery pub after a sensitive, award-winning refurbishment, its fine woodwork, etched glass and ornamented ceilings are now displayed in their full glory. The refurbishment included the addition of period furniture and fittings including some splendid brewery mirrors and antique chandeliers. On the bar there are eight handpumps and a good range of keg and bottled beers. The pub is named after the Cardigan family which owned land locally. There is a first floor function room and a pub quiz is held on Tuesday evenings. Children allowed until 9pm.
