Brilliant TT's tied house, tiny but v. welcoming. Best place in Yorkshire to drink Yorkshire's best beer
|
Just been voted CAMRA pub of the season for the umpteenth time, and deservedly so.
|
Excellent small pub, serves excellent ale. Full range of Taylor’s on plus a couple of guest ales on as well. Its about the best pint of Taylor’s I’ve ever had.
Good friendly atmosphere and just down the road from Keighley Railway Station.
Its a must if you’re visiting Keighley.

The Bolts must serve the best pint of Taylor’s anywhere in the country, with the Brown Cow up the road a very close second. They have the full range, lined up along the bar - even Dark Mild. It’s a lovely little pub, and as comfy as pair of cashmere Y-fronts.

A little gem, this is the unofficial brewerey tap for TT. Always outstandingly presented beer, first-class service, warmth from coal fires and friendliness from the usually middle-aged locals. And no bloody food to soil the atmosphere or stop me sitting at a table and doing the crossword while I sup a leisurely pint.
All pubs should be like this.

Excellent small pub. Visited this week - had the full range of TT beers on. Best bitter £2 was spot on as was the Golden. Guest was Ossett Brewery Excelsior and also had Westons scrumpy on draught. Landlady friendly. Big range of real ale related reading material.

Anyone who knows anything about the Keighley beer scene knows this one. A regular Good Beer Guide entry for goodness knows how many years, it’s the place to go for a guaranteed quality pint of Timothy Taylor’s ale. Small but perfectly formed, it’s deservedly popular for its service with a smile.
|
A small pub with a massive heart. Definitely the most friendly pub in the town centre, excellently kept ales, and a roaring open fire.
|
Lovely, cosy little place. Nice pint too - perfect for pre/post train journeys!
|
The full range of Timmy Taylors finest, kept and served superbly. A gem in a town of scruffy boozers
|
This really is a fine pub; small and cosy, I can't fault it. The last stop of our afternoon in the town as it was closest to the station of the pubs we wanted to try, and we inevitably ended up catching a later train than intended.
The full range of Taylor's beers, including the Dark Mild which had been absent from the Brown Cow earlier in the day, the Best and Landlord were particularly superb.
|
We occasionally have our "work outings" here (if you see a massive group of teachers drinking in the late afternoon - that's probably us). The beer is excellent and the locals never seem to mind us moving in. I wish I culd get Landlord this good in Leeds.

Just spent another afternoon here, and realised that my comments below just don't do this pub justice. It might, in fact, be the best pub I have ever been in. Service was faultless and charming, the locals (mainly middle aged men) were friendly and the real fire was welcome on a bleak midwinter day. Further, I doubt you'll find a better example of Taylor's Landlord anywhere. If only every pub was as good as this.

Much better now the refit has bedded in, but still not as good as when long-time guv'nor Eric French ran it. If you hadn't been in for two years he would still recognise you. When he sadly had to leave through ill health, the Bolts had one or two tenants who weren't that good, to be honest. The refurb didn't help, either... "We're Famous For Our Whisky!" read one marketing-contrived ad. Since when? Anyway... the current tenants are doing a grand job. The half-arsed whisky them has been (much) toned down, the Taylor's is still the best in town and now they have a real fire it all adds up to a town-centre gem.

Sept 05. Fine, welcoming little local serving the full Taylor range in top condition.
