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.
