The Boathouse Bar, Skipton

Decent pub next to the canal. Five real ales including one @ 5.2% ABV. Would revisit.

Cafe/ bar at the canal junction, obviously fitted out with canal boat style bench seating with tables and bollardish stools. The wood burning stove is decorated with bits of engine. Five pulls of mainly local beers. Big clear windows give views of canal and boats, there's also a towpath side patio. The tables have names not numbers, mine was Jim and next door was Rosie geddit? Decent beer though.

Another review from a visit in July 2016. A Thursday afternoon visit just as the rain came down. This is Skipton's newest micro pub, well it's called a Micropub but it's really a cafe with 5 hand pumps, bottles of ale and wine on offer. I had a pint of Saltaire's Kardinal at a mighty 5.7%. All ales here are either £3.00 or £3.20 a pint. Windows look directly onto the Leeds & Liverpool canal and there's a large seating area outside. Music playing and a fairly strong smell of food from the open kitchen to the rear of the bar. Overall this is a pleasant cafe with a good selection of ales and a great canal side location.

Well located Skipton pub adjacent to the canal and all the boats for the trips.It was doing a roaring trade on my Saturday afternoon visit with all the 5 hand pumps getting plenty of welly
