Will Larter left this review about Red Deer
The Red Deer has changed hands and was closed for refurbishment for a while this summer. It's pleasing to be able to report that it has improved. Most of the staff seem to have been retained, and the beer offering has changed a little, although is still largely well-established brands. Prices were hiked but the Camra members discount reinstated, so I took the hint and made sure I carried my card. Beer quality is very good, but this may be down to greater throughput, as the staff were all dismissive when I tried to praise the quality of my recent Three Swords from Kirkstall - probably as good as or better (NBSS 4.5) than in several Kirkstall pubs this year.

What can you add to a pub with a lot of reviews? A basic T shape with a raised area to the rear through an arched wall. Nine pulls with four in use for beer and two more with ciders, then others unclipped. It has a quad T-bar and four solos with a fairly standard Heineken based range. Pump clip decor on the ceiling at the front and above the counter, plainer otherwise, although there are lots of blackboards. Less studenty and more foody than I remember on previous visits but still a decent pub.

Very much an old school back street boozer both in looks and clientele. The beer lineup on handpull was Bradfield Farmers Blonde, Black Sheep Bitter, Theakston Quencher and Old Rosie Cider, doesn't exactly get the pulse racing but the Blonde was extremely well kept. It's good to see this type of pub maintaining a foothold and can recommend a visit if nearby.
