Brilliant beer venue; determined to serve the best (mainly North) Yorkshire produce. Friendly, beers are all excellently kept. Visit if you have the chance!

Cracking micro pub in town centre, formerly known as the Ref & Whistle. Friendly service, good selection of local ales. No frills just everything a good pub should be
The best pint in Skipton This is a great, friendly bar with seating on 2 floors, serving only Yorkshire ales, wines and spirits. They serve the best pint in Skipton by a country mile (and we’ve tried a few of the local bars) all kept in tiptop condition. Give it a try, you’ll not be disappointed!
Excellent real ales especially the house bitter from wooden casks
