| This place gets better, especially since Fernandes has gone to Ossett. The beer range has been much improved, Red Lion Chardonnayle (5.1%) has replaced Excelsior and is flying out, but Silver King and Landlord are also permanent. Guest beer turnover is quite rapid, and beer quality much better since a new temperature controlled piping system installed. Only weak point is often poorly pulled beer by some of the lasses, and size of the place as it gets too full sometimes - best avoid fri. evngs ! Landlord Ian a.k.a 'fish' keeps good order, and the place doesn't attract low life - usually. Beer prices are good value, £2.20 for 5% !. minesawhitelion - 3 Jul 2008 10:50 |

| Harry's is a lovely pub - Ian (affectionately known as Fish) is a really welcoming landlord. Mondays are 'open mic' night, and can be a bit of a distraction if you're hoping for a quiet pint. Also Wednesdays usually there's a band on and in such a small room it can get *very* noisy. Otherwise it's a good venue but can get very very busy. Good range of ales, the bar staff are really helpful and will assist you in picking something to your tastes. capnb - 20 Feb 2008 09:26 |
| A small one roomed pub, tucked away fifty yards or so from the main road. (Not the easiest place to find if you’re a casual visitor, it’s best approached via a passageway, just up the hill from the nearby Elephant and Castle). The interior is cosy and very relaxing. Wooden beams, exposed brickwork and partitioned drinking areas all contribute to the intimate feel. Six real ales on this visit: Ossett ‘Excelsior’ and ‘Silver King’, plus Taylor’s ‘Landlord’ as the regular beers. Also, Red Lion ‘Oregon Gold’, Little Valley ‘Red Dyke’ and Fenland ‘Smokestack Lightning’ as guest ales. Both the Ossett beers were excellent: Fresh tasting, well pulled and served cool, not cold. There were also several high quality lagers and Hoegaarden on draught. Not the friendliest barman ever, but he was very efficient. The size of ‘Harry’s Bar is one of its strengths, but also a weakness. Fantastic, when fairly quiet, but it can be horrendous when busy, particularly weekends and live music nights. It was originally a refuge from the locally infamous ‘Westgate Run’, but it is now unfortunately part of it. Handy for several nearby restaurants, including the ‘Spice Cottage’ next door. Westgate station is also very close. If looking to kill time before a train, the beer is far superior here to the Elephant and Castle and Henry Boon’s. However, be aware that the pub doesn’t open until five o’ clock, Monday to Saturday. Highly recommended. aleandhearty - 13 Feb 2008 16:07 |
