Ballers, Huddersfield

A cafe bar shop conversion with a few beer taps. The four hand pumps had two improvised signs instead of pump clips, indicating "Northern Cask", which on enquiry proved to be Tetleys Bitter, and Sandstone Edge, a golden ale from Wales. The barman was surprised to be told that Tetleys is no longer brewed in Leeds, which is perhaps indicative of a lack of interest in real ales in this bar. This was confirmed when the beer proved to be not just insipid and lacking in character, as expected, but also tired and fit for not much more than pouring down the drain. This may be a good spot for a break from a wearying shopping trip, but I suggest that a coffee might be the better option. Date of visit: 23rd September 2016

I quite liked this place even though I'm not a fan of the cafe bar-like place. 4 real ales on plus a bigger selection of crafty stuff. Descriptions of the interior are elsewhere. Its a billion times better than the Sluggy Lettuce over the road.
