Does a nice pint but I do like some entertainment when I am in a boozer. So the lack of i) fit barmaids ii) fruit machines iii) tv iv) test your strength punchbox does seem to be a slight negative.

Great pub, with good beer (3/4 ales), nice original interior. Frequented by locals and 'alternative' students (i.e. the ones who aren't in the Oak). Occasional live music. Bags of character and definately recommended.

A classic. A diamond in the rough. Good ale. Fish and chips next door. Seven spices curry house up the road. What more could you want?

Unabashed I am happy to declare that I love this place. Small but not cramped and with two rooms, the rear-most of which often sees small groups of musicians put on impromptu performances. As noted previously this pub isn't on the warpath of students either Otley Running or out to cause a rumpus, indeed the only students likely to be found in there are of the quieter variety that are looking for a decent pint, or looking for a place to create some music. Beers are kept well and prices are reasonable, the Tim Taylors comes highly recomemded; and as an extra bonus you can buy the odd Twix, if you're into that kind of thing.

Visited for the first time last Tuesday and was impressed with the seemingly unaltered "proper pub" interior, the friendliness of the locals and the excellence of the Tim Taylor's "Landlord"! Highly recommended.

A lovely pub well off the beaten path of any rowdy students, good mix of locals, old, young and students. Friendly staff and decent beer with a few good single malts too.

Good atmostphere with friendly staff and a friendly cat. Avoids the Otley Rd mayhem. Attracts locals and students.

A good mix of clientele ranging from students to pensioners. Very much a come as you are pub. Excellent quiz on Mondays though prize not much. Some music evenings on an ad hoc basis. If you can play an instrument bring it along

A great pub, friendly and a retreat from the hectic bars of headlingley. Always involved in community events and ventures.

A little gem of a pub. Just far enough of the Otley Road to avoid the crowds, but very popular with those 'in the know.'
