Plumbers Arms, Huddersfield

Large U shaped pub near to the bus station. Four pulls and a big steam pipe keg fitting on each counter face. There is a fairy light obsession here extending in one corner to twigs as well. Beers from Copper Dragon, Stancil, Ossett and Bradfield of average quality. Nice and busy on a Saturday afternoon the way pubs should be. Some banquette seating with metal chairs at square tables throughout. Multiple screens and constant music.

This pub wasn't on the plan for the Huddersfield crawl I did a couple of weekends ago but we had made good time and had a bit to spare before the train home. We decided to give the Plumbers Arms a try. Inside there were eight hand pulls (four on each side of the bar) with two off (one each side). It was a bit tricky trying to see the full selection as there did not appear to be a chalk board listing everything, though the barman did try to help by bringing over a pump clip from the opposite side. There was loud music and the pub was busy but it felt pleasant and certainly had atmosphere. No issue with my Elland porter.

Close to the bus station and not too bad to be honest. An open plan interior with an island bar and 8 handpulls. A good selection of local breweries on offer and a good variation of styles. The Fernande's Black Voodoo was very nice. The pub seems to like its live music as there were a number of adverts for bands.

An open plan pub with an island bar. All very modern looking and not particularly comfortable in my opinion. It was fairly busy at 6 on a Sunday and within 15 minutes it was packed, very strange. They had a band on stage at 6:30 which is very unusual. 4 ales available on the bar and my pint was in good nick. I really didn't take to this one at all.
