Market Tavern, Todmorden

Passed through on a recent Monday afternoon when most of the market stalls were probably packing up. The whole place seemed quiet and soulless, not just the bar but the market in general. Very quiet and no music playing to generate a bit of atmosphere. Possibly a case of bad timing. Three hand pulls at the bar but all had their clips turned round. There was a disinterested looking guy behind the bar who was glued to his phone. I'm not sure I would have bothered even if there had been any ale available, but perhaps next time I am in Tod I will catch it on a better day.

A wooden market stall based bar in the middle of the market hall. A wooden enclosed area with the counter at one end. Seating is at benches beside narrow wooden tables and there are some stools outside. Three pulls with beers from Reedley Hallows in good nick, spirits and keg are also available. Usually only open when the market is and cash is preferred.

A small bar taking up a couple of stalls within Tods indoor market. Opening hours are limited to those of the market. One stall has the bar which has 3 handpumps, all of which were pulling Reedley Hallows beers on my afternoon Friday visit. The other stall has a small seating area. It offers a CAMRA discount of 20p per pint and 10p per half. My pint was in good nick although most appeared to be drinking lager. It's not a place for an extended session, but I'd happily call in for one again next time I'm in Tod.
