The Robin Hood, Keighley

One of several village pubs on Kirkgate, this one made out of two small buildings. It's quite pleasant and comfortable, and service was friendly and welcoming. The bar has three hand pumps, with Ossett Blonde, Timothy Taylor Landlord and Black Sheep Bitter. I went for the Black Sheep, which was very good. It was quiet the afternoon when I was here, but a combination of live music, a DJ and karaoke is promised on Saturdays; luckily this was a Tuesday.

This place is where all the youth of Silsden and many of the surrounding villages go and so there is regularly fights and broken glass in this place. Not good for real ales (I can't recall a single one on the pumps the last time I visited) and can get loud, crowded and anti-social with drunk punters staggering around. For a proper real ale experience visit the King's Arms just 1 minute's walk up the road.
