Salt Granary Wharf, Leeds

Ground-floor bar under the towering 'Candle' building, recently repurposed by Ossett using the label of its Salt offshoot. The trendy modern bar look hasn't changed much, and there are still the part-covered outside tables for the better weather. Beer-wise, the 14 craft beer and cider taps on the bar-back may catch the eye, but my attention was drawn to the four handpumps on the counter and the guest White Rat (£3.30) in particular. Still well worth a visit.

Closing on Sunday 21st October 2018 and reopening 16th November as "Craft Asylum" Ossett says it will be "A new craft-focused city centre bar, showcasing modern hop-forward beers from Salt Beer Factory and leading guest breweries." Salt Beer is their 'craft' brewery.

Fairly quiet in here on our late Sunday afternoon visit. Only 8 of us in the whole place. The barstaff were taking the opportunity to put up the Xmas decorations, so were a bit distracted. It will be great to sit in the outside area overlooking the canal basin in Summer. That certainly wasn't an option during our wet & windy visit. Only two handpumps on the bar and only one beer from Fernandes actually available. It was a good pint though. Quite liked it in here, so well try a visit when it's fine and warmer.
