A very nice drinkers pub, close to Interchange, with an excellent range of beers and ciders. The vaulted bar room has an almost subterranean feel (and a slight whiff of drains) while the little partitioned snug is lovely. Six interesting cask ales noted - definitely one to visit. Note the name varies between Jacobs Well and Jacobs Beer House depending where you look.

A nice Alehouse with a well worn feel about the place. Beers were MBH Bunji, Sunbeam Parachuting hedgehog and Bright Day, Half Moon Dark Masquerade and Abbeydale Deception, six handpulls in all. The one downside was an inattentive barman more interested in eating chips and phone gazing, a point lost for that, otherwise not bad.

Characterful place in an unpromising location, tucked in down the side of a 60’s ring road. Alehouse feel, some might call it a tatty jumble but I think it worked quite nicely. Clearly a number of rooms that were knocked-through many years ago but there’s enough of a separated feel left. There’s plenty of seating to be had on the salmon shade banquettes, and of note is the unusual tongue and groove arched wood ceiling. Friendly young barman (who I think was the owner) played the role of the old skool guv'nor, being the focal point of the pub and conducting conversation at the front of the bar. He showed me an old map of the area and pointed out the pub, which used to be densely packed-in around terraced houses (it is the only building now left of the old Kent Street). An afternoon opener, and plenty of punters meandered in during the first 30 mins who all knew each other creating a nice convivial atmosphere. Six cask on with a good range; Jolly Sailor Selby (NBSS 3.5) and Mobberley Onyx (4). Alongside some ciders, there were also some fresh pies behind the bar. I really enjoyed this one, a good combination of beer and people. GBG'22 listed and rightly so. 8.5
