Along a narrow street,the front of the pub is quite basic with some circular tables and rough ,low stools but the sunken lounge to the left is more charming and the raised rear section with a large bench seat quite charming with walls showing the buildings age.Above the bar is a first floor gallery,sadly not accessable behind two doors market private but it does add character and the former name of the Anglers Inn is displayed.Friendly welcome and pork pies and sausage rolls complement an ale range on my trip of Roosters Yankee,Rudgate Ruby Mild,Dinga Dinga and Valkyrie (NBSS 3.5) ,Theakstons Best Bitter and Pennine Real Blonde.The flatscreens were showing the Tour de France on mute,and the pub had a good turnover of customers,some crawling the city centre.This does seem a worthwhile name to add to any crawl list.

The Snickleway Inn is an interesting little pub with a front bar area with an L-shaped bar counter that faces tables in the front window and sunken seating along the left-hand wall. On the right wall some instruments were set up ready for a live duet. A small room at the rear houses four tables and a fireplace on the rear wall with a burner under its copper hood. During a recent midweek evening visit premium and craft keg were available alongside the six hand pumps that were drawing Rooster’s Yankee, Rudgate’s Golden Ace, Acorn Brewery’s Freebird, Great Newsome’s Best, Ainsty Ales’ Cool Citra and Theakston’s Best. The service was friendly and the pub was comfortably busy so there was a decent atmosphere. I’d pop back in if passing.

A nice old town pub in the middle of the pedestrianised area. heavy on the woodwork and atmosphere but thankfully offering a rather better range of beers than the John Smith's signage might suggest. The peculiar internal layout could only have developed over the centuries, with strange overhead partition above the front bar and a side alcove that might once have been a passageway, plus a very dark back room. It seemed to be more popular with locals than tourists and had the feel of a proper drinkers' pub. Available ales were Acorn Bullseye and Old Moor, Rooster Yankee, Rudgate Yorvik, Bradfield Farmers Blushed and Theakston Best. Quite happy to drink here.
