Loving the new management, so many new ideas and theme nights. We went to the recent quiz night and had such a good time. Easily the best pub in Otley! Cosy, happy vibes, amazing outdoor space, and all of the staff are chatty and very helpful. I just want to give a shout out to the lady who might be the manager (not sure, sorry!) she really helped me pick a lovely beer. Then I went on to buy a few cans of it. Great tip!
North Bar Social is absolutely great, the new manager is so lovely and could not do enough for us when we came in, she recommended beers and wines like she knew the menu inside out. She also bought us top up rounds to our table whenever our glasses were almost empty, it was so nice not having to get up! The atmosphere is nice and the decor is lovely! I definitely recommend!
Me and my friend were having a night out in otley. Everywhere else we went we had a frosty reception. We came into the north bar. We got welcomed by 2 lovely chatty ladies and we had a real good laugh with them which resulted in us staying for several hours. Absolutely would recommend to anyone x
Lovely little bar. Attentive and friendly staff. Always there if you need anything including table service! Couldn't fault the organisation they have. Reasonable prices for some tasty cocktails too! Perfect little social spot in Otley. Now my favourite hang out spot and practically second home! Wonderful.
FOH and bar staff were so welcoming and and attentive. Lauren was extremely knowledgeable and had a lovely chat with us. New management clearly know what they're doing! Couldn't reccomend enough
