| The Old Brewery Bitter is now a whopping £3 a pint (cash only). We walked out from Knaresborough on a Friday afternoon and there were a dozen or so other customers. Can't see myself returning but, for a glimpse of how pubs might once have been, it was worth a visit. paul_d102 - 11 Apr 2022 09:21 |
| Lovely old pub in an excellent setting.Surrounded by land owned by Woodland Trust.Nice to see the sign "We donot sell food or hot drinks."A real pub not a licensed restaurant. Visited on a beautiful September Saturday.Plenty of families with children and dogs out in the pleasant garden leading down to a stream.Outside toilets add to the rural feel of the place. Sam Smith OBB at GBP1.80 a pint.Love it. oldandmild - 26 Sep 2015 05:08 |
| Situated in the Bilton area of Harrogate, the Gardeners Arms has a wonderful interior. As you approach through a residential area, the housing suddenly disappears and the pub emerges. There are 3 or 4 small rooms where conversation dominates. It's a Sam Smiths pub. So it's also very easy on the pocket. Old Brewery Bitter is on handpull. We chose one of the two front rooms, one with a serving hatch to the bar. There was a nice, open fire. If this had a better range of beers, it would be one of the best pubs in the country. As it stands, you'd soon get fed up with the same drinks range. But I thoroughly advocate a visit, if only to see the unspoiled interior. blue_scrumpy - 13 Apr 2014 19:04 |
| I may be biassed here as this was the first 'local' I ever had. Now that I'm sufficiently old to be retired, I still call when in the area. I fully understand why some people don't like the place or the way its run - but for me, I love the place. A pint of really well kept beer to drink at leisure while reading a book by the fire is, I think, my idea of what I like best about pubs. No TV. No music. No 'place to be seen' If you want an 'upmarket refreshment experience', don't come here. If you want peace, quiet and a seriously good pint - then this is the place. With a pint at about half the price it is elsewhere is just icing on a very nice cake. stevesowerby - 3 Apr 2013 00:11 |
