Visited again a week or so and it's pretty much as it was at the time of my earlier review. On this occasion all four hand pulls were in active service and the two ales I sampled were enjoyable and in good condition. They also do warm pork crackling, which had to be tried and accompanied my drinks very nicely.

One of the ales I had was by "From The Cellar" brewery - I haven't been able to find out much about this brewery but it may well be a local outfit that the Micro Bar is supporting.

Visited yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. Observed four hand pulls at the bar, two of which were on and two unclipped. The two available offerings were Elland GPA and Ilkley Mary Jane. I opted for the GPA which was a pleasant ale with a subtle ginger kick. Slipped down very nicely with the two samosas I had purchased from a nearby food stall. On that subject, Micro Bar now has its own area sectioned off as being for customers only, though you are welcome to bring food in if you are having a drink. My GPA was £3.50 a pint, or £1.75 for a half. There also seemed to be six keg taps and loads of bottles in the fridges and on the shelves.

Seating consists of a mix of tables and chairs, stools around the end section of the bar, and stools at a ledge in front of the window looking out onto High Street.

Nice for a quick stop off if you're in the area or shopping in the Arndale, though not sure it's the kind of place you would really stay for a session.

seems like a decent place for a swift one if you’re in the Arndale, probably not worth seeking out otherwise. it’s absolutely tiny and just blends into the street food stalls surrounding it. Any atmosphere is obviously killed by the noise from the market. I bought a samosa (£1) from the Indian stall around the corner and washed it down nicely with a half of Plum Porter.
