Graham Coombs left this review about Little 3

A peculiar little place, clearly very old although there is a bit too much tat cluttering the place up. That said, it is a nice, relaxing sort of place to for a pint and seems to have a decent selection of ales on: TT Landlord, two from Daleside, the Black Sheep rugby special and Ringwood Razorback. Further seating is signed upstairs and there is something called the 'Stable Block' at the back, open occasionally, as well as tables in the former car park..

The Little 3 appears to be the best that Thirsk has to offer. It's located just to the east of the market place and has quite an olde worlde feel, with low beams, seating area on different levels and cosy nooks and crannies.

Staff were friendly enough, but we found the ale range a little limited. Harrogate Pale & Best were on, alongside Fuller's London Pride. I went for the Pale, which was a decent drop.

It had been quiet when we arrived. However, a few more customers had arrived by the time we left. They enquired about the Pennine Black Forest that had been on prevously and were instead offered 2 other ales whose clips had been turned round when we were being served. So, it appears that Daleside Monkey Wrench & Ilkley Lotus were also on.

Staff were friendly and genuinely interested in the purpose of our visit. I'm not sure if a CAMRA discount is still given. It wasn't offered to us and there was no promotion of it.

In a town seemingly devoid of good watering holes, this one is worthy of a visit.

Visited last Thursday afternoon. At the time of my visit only three of the five hand pumps were in use. The ales available at that time were South2North by Pennine, Striding The Riding by Helmsley and 1863 by Isaac Poad.

As Mr Larter has noted on his review the interior is old fashioned with artificially yellowed walls and ceiling with dark wood beams which, in the wall at least, appear to be artificial - unless they are actually present and happen to have been plastered over.

I usually find the Little 3 is dead so was pleased to find it a little busier on my most recent visit (around 4pm).

One of the barmen did not look thrilled to be there.

I found the ale was all bit samey, just bitters and pale ales. I had the South2North and the Striding The Riding, both at £1.50 a half, so OK price wise but it would be lie to suggest those ales were anything special. There used to be individual chalk boards over the fireplace listing the ales on offer, but these have now gone. There was a beer festival advertised which was due to have over 20 local beers so they must still have an interest in real ale, but it didn't seem quite as good as it used to be for me.

Just to add a bit of trivia - I have read somewhere that this place used to be called Ye Olde Three Tuns or The Little Three Tuns but when Wetherspoons took over the actual Three Tuns on Market Place this place decided to change its name.
