This riverside pub seems to be flooded from time to time - as well as the 2015 Boxing Day episode mentioned by a previous reviewer and on WhatPub, there was also one in 2021 which caused a closure, and as my notes made at the time say, required an awful lot of grey paint in the refurbishment. This is a Robinsons pub, and there were six of their cask beers on at the time of my visit, which seems like a lot for a Monday afternoon in October. My half of Boltmaker was very good (NBSS 3.5); the others were Landlord twice, Ram Tam, Knowle Spring and Golden Best.

There are many pictures of cows, not all of them brown, and five statues of dogs were on display above the fire place. I wasn't hugely impressed by this pub, despite the good beer, but I do hope they haven't suffered another flood since my visit.

After the boxing day floods the Brown Cow has reopened much the same as it was before, a modern upmarket pub with lots of painted wood and bright modern atmosphere. This being a Taylor's tied house meant the full range of their beers were on offer on the six hand pulls with landlord doubled up along with Boltmaker, Ram Tam, Dark mild and Golden best,The landlord and Boltmaker were very well kept but at a pricey £3.50 for the former. this is a very nice place to stop by for a beer beside the river and their are numerous tables outside for when it is sunny. This is a bit middle class tho so the atmosphere can be a little tame and reserved for my liking which can hinder you from feeling completely at ease and relaxed but if you can look past this this is one of the best pubs in Bingley.

A more upmarket Taylors tied house in a splendid riverside location, the pub is panelled and stone flagged although not original. Usual pub decor of a few photos and prints. More a dining pub than a local, nonetheless the beer is spot on and the full Taylors range is available. There was a middle class mix of punters on my visit which I guess is the target audience. It's very pleasant with good beer maybe lacking a certain something.
