A reasonable covid time revamp of a favourite old pub, basically the counter has been moved and is with nine pulls in operation. Otherwise much as was although some say “that” picture isn’t the original but a sanitised version, no comment from me. Otherwise still one of the best in the area.

Aqualung . left this review about Fanny's Ale and Cider House
This shop conversion has been extended into a house behind it and also upstairs. The back room now has a disabled toilet and I assume there is an entrance that avoids the steep front steps. The downstairs area here has wooden floors, is rather dark and is something of a labyrinth of small rooms and areas. Upstairs is brighter and looks more comfortable as well as having a jukebox.
The bar is on the left and has hand pumps on three sides. I noticed six beers Taylor's Landlord & Golden Best, Naylors Mosaic, Kelham Island I Tried So Hard, RAT Ratastrophic and Bosun's Arctic Myst. I went for the Mosaic, The Kelham Island beer and the Ratastrophic. Prices were around the £3.50 mark but the 6.5% Ratastrophic was over £4.00. All beers were in good nick and I don't recall the barman looking like Harry Potter or his girlfriend resembling Hermione Granger! My only minor gripe was the cider in the pub name as the only ones I could see were mainstream keg although the barman says they normally have Old Rosie. However, West Yorkshire isn't a County normally associated with cider.
I liked this rather quirky place.

This is a multi-roomed, atmospheric ale house. Well worn floorboards, a piano, chandeliers and loads of b & w pictures around the walls. 7 handpumps with 6 beers available. Now for the bad news. There was a Harry Potter lookalike, personality free, lazy git behind the bar. Glasses and bottles on many of the tables, but Harry was much too busy playing on his phone to do anything as mundane as work. He didn't even bother to reply when I said goodbye as I left. Get rid of him and it'll be worth an extra point.
