Ignore the photo on this website which really doesn't do this pub justice! It's now a smart free house which attracts young mothers who talk about babies and nothing else :) The Rooster's YPA was changed especially for me and was in excellent condition; also on sale was Wensleydale Game Keeper and Kirkstall's Dissolution IPA on font. paul_d102 - 11 Apr 2022 09:08 |
Popped down last week... this pub is a vast improvement over it's previous incarnation. Sympathetic renovation, clean, hygienic. Excellent ales. One strange thing though.... surprised the landlord allows the rather dodgy looking weird chap with pink shoes and pink scarf to frequent the place... still he's not a reason to avoid the place... more a reason to go down for a laugh! goonthenjustonemore - 8 May 2013 11:07 |
The Half Moon shut down in 2011 but reopened its doors in December 2012. The pub is now independant of the destructive pubcos and the whole place has been thoroughly cleaned and given a tasetful facelift. Whilst retaining the original layout the whole place does now have an airy, brighter feel to it, there is no intrusive telly and no machines to detract from a thoroughly pleasant interior. There are 4 handpumps - Black Sheep, Landlord and two Roosters, YPA and Buckeye, the Roosters being kept in excellent condition and going down well with the locals. It was also doing a good trade from its coffee machine, supplemented by some chocolate brownies and cakes thus attracting casual passing tourists as well as the beer enthusiast. All in all a splendid effort by those concerned. The only downside was the bar was difficult to get to due to the local glitterati hogging the serving area, just as they do/did at Blind Jacks in the Market Place! JBGatelad - 10 Feb 2013 13:36 |
Great friendly locals pub with an ale or two. I was lucky enough to be in here in January 2010 when Leeds beat Manchester United, needless to say the atmosphere was great even though I'm not much of a football fan. Killian42 - 2 May 2010 15:56 |
Friendly landlord, cosy interior. Not the town's best pub, but far from the worst redmax - 3 Mar 2010 13:57 |
