Thirteen Wine Bar, Settleback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Very small little bar with the feel of a cellar bar.
Only popped in for a quick drink on a Saturday evening, pub was fairly quiet.
Only had a pint of Chez Bud which was fine and consequently can't comment on the ales. Would go back if in the area.

Robert & Christine deserve all the plaudits that will surely come their way. Thirteen is that rare beast: a cafe/wine bar that also manages to appeal to the discerning beer drinker. Hetton Pale Ale & Pen-Y-Ghent Ale cater for the bitter enthusiasts, while those who prefer lager can partake of Budvar. The fridge is well stocked with a wide variety of bouteille, including 2 or more Belgian premiums.
Foodwise, it's a gem. Thursday night steak night is well worth the money. Wednesday early evening, known amongst the locals as "soup kitchen" offers casserole and a pint/glass of wine for £6 and surely can't be beat. I've also dined there several times on Saturday lunchtime and would do so more often if work allowed.
There is free internet access at the rear for those who can't bear to be sans technology for a few hours, and the ambience as a whole is relaxed yet modern and, should you wish it, you can always find someone to point out your shortcomings.
A lovely spot that is going from strength to strength.

Keighley and Craven CAMRA awarded Thirteen 'Most improved Pub' on 8th June 2010
|
There is now a choice of 2 local ales as well as the very excellent Budvar lager
|
Improved even further by the addition of air conditioning this summer. The bar alterations to accomodate Real Ale fit in well and the Real itself is great
|
Heavens to Betsy, a wine bar has appeared in this otherwise traditional market town! Fancy coffees, Czech lager on draught, and Pimms topped up with pomegranate juice. I don't know what the local farmers make of it, but it seems to be popular with the young (and not so young) of Settle.

Great atmosphere especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. Budvar Lager on Draught plus a good selection of quality wines and spirits.
