Real Ale Ray left this review about The Sore Bee

I thought this was a decent place to visit, the interior was spotlessly clean and the decor was modern and wine bar in style. We were the first through the doors at 2pm on Saturday and it wasn't too long before some more like minded beer drinkers called in. Five handpumps on the bar Jaipur, Landlord, White Rat, Big Trip Brewery Sticky Mess and Lune Brew Pale Ale. We went for the Lune Brew Pale, which was top class and the prices in here were also sensible, with the majority of the beers costing around the £4 mark.

Renamed with a poor pun on the local pronunciation of Sowerby. Much as before inside although it now has 5 pulls but just 3 were on and the Oakham Green Devil ran off as I sat there contemplating having one after my Craven VIP which is of course Elland 1872 porter in a different jacket. The other beer on was Brass Castle Bright Pale Ale, not sure if that is descriptive, refers to its processing or is just a name.

A wine bar style single room, although there's a secluded bit at the back through a stone arch, with all the usual seating options, high low and medium. Four pulls on the bar with small local stuff from Grey Hawk, Elland, Milltown and Goose Eye and the quality was very good. Not one for traditional pub lovers but there's nothing intrinsically wrong here.
