Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Three Swords
Excellent Kirkstall Brewery pub that's much more interesting than the rather austere dark-green exterior might suggest. The interior has a smart semi-traditional look, with a L-shaped seating area around the bar and a raised section to the right. Indian food is available from the 'Karobar' kitchen linked to the Dastaan restaurant. I found five of the six handpumps in use, pouring the eponymous extra pale ale (£4.604), Leeds Pale and the Thornbridge collaboration 'prize milk stout', and guest ales from Round Corner and Five Points. Plenty of the brewery's craft beers also available from the various keg taps.

Now owned by Kirkstall Brewery and opened in August 2023 as the Three Swords. It's been done in the usual Kirkstall house style of traditional pub features, either reproduction or salvage, though the building itself is obviously not a traditional pub. There are six hand pumps on the bar, with just two Kirkstall beers, plus two from Leeds Brewery (now owned by Kirkstall, as I understand), one from Allsopps (last I heard being brewed in Sheffield, but planning to move back to Burton), and one from Five Points (whose beers often feature at the Cardigan Arms). It was very busy indeed on a Friday evening, with families and groups of friends doing a lot of eating and a fair amount of drinking. My two beers were tremendous - the Leeds Pale the best I have ever had of this beer and the Kirkstall brew that gives the pub its name as near perfect as makes no odds. I must come back at a quieter time and drink my way along the bar.
