A comfy locals' pub on the fringe of the centre (and at the top of the hill down to the river, so handy if coming up). It looks like a 90s refurb with tartan carpet, dark fabrics and anaglypta wallpaper, but is perfectly pleasant and friendly. There are a couple of (quiet) screens for sport, pool and darts and two ales from Daleside - Bitter and Blonde - which were in good form.

Just outside the town centre and advertised as not opening until 2pm on a Saturday, this pub still had closed doors and no lights when I approached at a few minutes past, so I went to the Half Moon down by the river instead. When I walked past half an hour later it was open, but I was on my way to the first game of the season, Knaresborough Town v Hallam so had to postpone my visit until after the game. It was quite busy at 5pm, with quite a few of the locals watching a game on TV and some playing pool. The two large and slightly bowed windows either side of the front door make it a certainty that there were originally two rooms here, but it's now one large space with the bar centrally placed. I had a choice of Tetleys or Daleside Blonde on hand pump (with one more turned around and another vacant), and my swift half of Tetleys was better than expected.

Date of visit: 30th July 2022

From the outside, you would think this pub would have a traditional and inviting interior. Once through the doors, you are overpowered by a loud tartan carpet and ghastly painted walls, which clashed with everything. Also, the pub has a very clicky atmosphere with the regulars stuck around the corner of the bar. A boring Sam Smith's house. Would not return.
