Used to be a fantastic pub - an oasis of good beer and peace, but seems now it has sold itself to the lowest common denominator by letting in Otley Runners and trying to pass itself off as yet another sports bar. Not what it was.
Really helpful bar staff and lovely atmosphere. Would 10/10 suggest getting one of the gins, they're really good (I had botanical with a raspberry & lemon garnish and my date went for something beginning with an "s" with a rosemary and lime garnish). This is not to say that the other drinks they offer are not good, the reality is quite the contrary.
Always been a fan of this place, helpful and knowledgrable staff. Great beers. A tad expensive but you get what you pay for. No music, large groups or fancy dress, which provides a haven on the busy Otley Run student trail. Dog friendly, great atmosphere
Used to be a great pub but it’s lost its old charm and beer selection. RIP to a great boozer
Lovely relaxed atmosphere. At least 8 cask ales on offer. Ciders, sours, gins, whiskeys and a good selection of wines. Plenty of seating and standing area. A must stop for all when drinking on Otley Road
