The Radcliffe Arms, Almondbury

Unfortunately, lack of demand has reduced the number of hand pulled beers from 3 to 2; Marsdon's is the regular, with an interesting mix of guest beers from around the UK on the other. The third engine is still there, so there is still hope that it will come back online. The pool table returned at the start of 2012, and is proving very popular. Friday and Saturday nights are lively and popular, with either a DJ or Video Jukebox, on other evenings it servers its purpose as a decent local. Calling it "...the hangout of local yobs and overpriced" is unfair, the local "lads" are friendly, and always have time to talk to you; I have never seen any trouble at The Rad or even the suggestion of it brewing. I agree the beer isn't cheap, but it is up to 40p cheaper than its nearest competition.
