A Traditional Pub with a Modern Twist - Opening Friday 25th April 2025.
Oakwood, Leeds - There’s something timeless about a great local pub and that’s exactly what we’re bringing back. After a careful and characterful refurbishment, SALT Oakwood will reopen its doors as The Clock Inn on Friday 25th April from 12pm.
The new name is an ode to the iconic clock tower, sitting proudly in the local community since its move from Kirkgate market in 1912, The Clock Inn is a return to everything we love about the great British pub - roaring real fires, cask ales, cosy corners, community spirit and of course, a warm welcome for all.
This exciting refurbishment brings a return to true traditional pub style - think rich lincrusta panelling, heritage wallpapers, comfy armchairs and warm lighting. It’s a space made for conversation, comfort, and community. Of course, you’ll still find the friendly faces and great drinks you know and love - just with a few thoughtful enhancements.
While we’ve kept the heart and soul of your favourite local, we’ve added a few touches to make it even better:
- Cask & Craft on Tap - We’re pouring four Ossett Brewery cask ales, real cider and five SALT craft beers alongside our new crisp, fresh Helles lager Hell Rat. You will also find premium wines and spirits, an array of alcohol-free beers, spritz and much more sitting right alongside. Or do you fancy a lunch time coffee with a little treat? Pop in and try our selection of new bakes and cakes.
- Cocktails with Character - We’re serving six premium cocktails on tap, all created by a talented local supplier. Fast, fresh and full of flavour - including a brand-new Limoncello Mojito that’s perfect for summer sipping.
- Street Food by BaoBros23 - We're thrilled to welcome BaoBros23 as our new kitchen partner. Expect a bold and flavour-packed menu, featuring soft and fluffy bao buns filled with slow-cooked meats, crispy tofu, spicy slaws and more. The perfect addition to any pint.
- Live Music Every Saturday - Start the weekend right with live local music every Saturday from 8pm. We hand-pick the finest local musicians to create the perfect atmosphere, fitting for a Saturday night.
- Quiz Nights - Put your knowledge to the test with our weekly pub quiz every Wednesday. Plus, on the first Wednesday of each month, it’s a themed quiz night - with extra fun, prizes and surprises
- Board Games & Pub Classics – Rediscover the joy of classic pub pastimes with our growing collection of traditional board games - ideal for a relaxed afternoon or a rainy-day escape.
- Family & Dog Friendly – We’ve reestablished a pub that truly welcomes all. Bring the kids, bring the pup - everyone’s part of The Clock Inn family.
Why The Clock Inn?
Our name is a nod to Oakwood’s proudest landmark - the Clock Tower just across the road. It’s a local symbol of time well spent and that’s what The Clock Inn is all about. A place to pause, unwind, connect and enjoy.
A Pub for the People.
This isn’t just a lick of paint - it’s a return to proper pubs heritage. We’ve created a space that feels like home, the refurbishment brings in traditional design touches, with timeless pub décor, inviting nooks and the sort of atmosphere you won’t want to leave. It’s a pub that celebrates the past, while serving up the very best of today’s food and drink.
Join us on Friday 25th April for our re-opening celebrations - with great beer, mouthwatering bao, live music and the comforting charm of a proper local pub. Whether it’s a post-work pint, a Saturday night singalong, or a quiet drink by the fire, there’s always time to Clock Inn.
