The Ticket Office, Ilkley

Still much as described, a very laid-back club or cocktail bar feel in the main room with a low-tabled dining part behind and a large patio area outside. Still just the rebadged Blonde on handpump - condition acceptable. Fair enough to wait for your train or bus but no great attraction.

As the name suggests it’s located within the station building but accessed from outside, it’s also very handy for the buses just outside. Slightly night club type decor with big padded seats, high tables and stools and chandeliers. Beer wise there’s a horseshoe of better UK standards including fortunately one from Kirkstall, plus a couple of solos. A single hand pump has Ilkley Blonde labelled as Ticket Office blonde. Average quality beer, odd staff though. Front, rear and side drinking spaces, the toilets are upstairs although labelled as washrooms.

One largish room with bar in the middle, tables round the edges. No hand pumps - just keg - nothing special.

Called in around 1pm on a Monday and found the place empty apart from a couple sat outside,but i was not that surprised after paying £2.80p in half of the Brooklyn IPA.

New venue housed in the town's train station. Billing itself primarily as a wine and cocktail bar, there are several craft beers available on draught, plus a cask ale from Ilkley Brewery.
