| We only visited one traditional pub in Otley last Saturday evening as this was so good we decided to stay here for a second drink rather than move on elsewhere. The 9 handpulls were Leeds Brewery's Midnight Bell, Roosters Creeper and Pangea, Cumbrian Ales Loweswater Gold, Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Craven's Victorian Imperial Porter, Daleside Blonde, Theakston's Best and Moorhouses Premier (which cost £4). Very popular place for the over 50s. paul_d102 - 27 May 2024 14:15 |
| Really decent traditional boozer that is way newer than it actually looks, having been renovated as recently as 2010. The beer selection is very good and I guess the only criticism might be that it attracts the good and bad sides of real ale culture - so the bar can be ringed by old lags and seating is at a premium at times.

| I agree with Steamer1, it's not as good as the nearby Junction, but I would say it's the second best pub in Otley. The pub itself has won Best pub in Leeds CAMrA award for 2011,2012 and 2013. It felt like quite a small place and very intimate. On the bar they had- Pennine Brewing Hair Of The Dog, Theakston Best Bitter, Wharfedale Black, Wild Gravity By Bad Co, Sarah Hughs Dark Ruby, The expatriate by Wilde Child, Flint Knapper by Ramsbury, Timothy Taylor's landlord. I went for the Dark Ruby, at a whopping 4.25, this was a 6 percent beer so I let them off as it seems if you buy a weaker beer you will pay less (I thimk the Theakston was 3 pound and a weaker abv), the beer was well kept and a nice pint though. The punters in here were having some good banter in here as well. A very solid pub in Otley but I believe the Junction edges it as the best one, still definitely worth a visit.

| Appears to be a crazy low mark out of 10 for this pub which was totally at odds with our experience. Great atmosphere and a choice of 9 or 10 real ales from the wide local area and ranging from light and hoppy to porter. Happy to give this an 8 (8.5 if they did halves) Steamer1 - 3 Aug 2016 16:06 |
