The Otley Tavern, Otley

Traditional town local, with various small seating areas around the compact bar. Refurbished interior with light decor. Lively (in a good-natured way) during an England rugby match being shown on the large screen. Four handpumps on the counter, offering Black Sheep, Silver King and Yorkshire Blonde from Ossett, and Tetley's Cask (£3.00).

Once inside there is a single square shaped room with the bar facing,there is comfy bench seating around the edge of the room,thee is also a small area down two steps to the rear right. sky sports was showing football score updates. There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Titanic Iceburg which went down well,the other beer was Tetley bitter.

A good refurbishment of an old Tetley's pub once called the Ring O Bells. Tastefully modernised in the new style with lots of wood and a flag floor. Now with four pulls of local beers of good quality. There are two big screens and in a nod to the old pub the old photos of Otley remain. The refurbishment has not removed the pubby atmosphere and keeps the bench seating and cosiness. Opening hours are better too now.
