Will Larter left this review about The Crescent Inn

At first I wasn't sure where the public bar of this long, curved hotel - there's a clue in the name - was situated. But once through the portico I spotted a sign pointing to "pub" down a couple of steps to the right. Interestingly, once through the door there are two steps up. I took this as a sobriety test, which I passed with flying colours on a self-assessment, as no one else was looking. The bar is a handsome affair with a tall bar back in dark carved wood. Four hand pumps have two local beers on, the third with pump clip turned around and one naked. My half of Hetton Pale was as good as in the previous pub, while being slightly different - the magic of cask conditioned beer. (The other was Ilkley Joshua Jane.) Service was friendly and polite, and there was a convivial atmosphere. It's hard to recommend a hotel bar when there are brewery taps and traditional pubs nearby, but it's no more expensive (£5.30/pint) and the beer was as good as elsewhere.

A faired sized lounge and bar which was traditional in décor. The bar was situated on the left hand side and was finished in red mahogany with a pot shelf above the counter. The room painted in a heritage sage green colour and included the original cornice work. Eight handpumps on this visit, so we went for the Ridgeside Brewery Roosevelt APA and a Goose Eye Brewery bitter. The bar was busy on our visit as the rugby was showing on the large screen above the fireplace. A couple of bar flys standing with glasses of wine, were a bit of a nuisance when trying to see the handpumps, one polite local moved for our perusal, top marks there.

been in the hotel bar quite a few times and the beer just gets better and better called in on Saturday night and the saltaire blond was some of the best I`ve had in a long time will come back again more like a pub now than a hotel bar
