Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Vocation & Co

Newly opened tap for the Hebden Bridge-based brewery, housed in the former Devonshire pub so less industrial than one might expect. However, the U-shaped interior - with seating areas on each side of the entrance lobby, and the counter at the far end - is rather stark, with plain white paintwork and quite light wooden tables and flooring. A few small tables can also be found out on the pavement. Anyway, the beer selection is excellent, with all kinds of styles available from five handpumps and 18 craft keg taps, and after some dither, I went for the 4.5% Mosaic pale collaboration with To Øl (£5.00). An interesting addition to the city's already splendid selection of drinking houses.

Will Larter left this review about The Devonshire

My first visit here since its reinvention as the Devonshire. There are now four hand pumps but the beer selection is quite different, with one from True North brewery (just around the corner), two from Dark Star (almost as far away as you can get without dipping your toes in La Manche) and Bradfield Belgian Blue (the winter-only beer from a few miles out of Sheffield). I didn't fancy the Dark Star Creme Brulee, a beer that does exactly what it says on the pump clip without tasting at all like a beer, and went for the True North Pale, not seeing until too late that it was single hopped with Cascade. Should have gone for the Dark Star Hop Head. (I know that's cascade too, but at least it's a tried and trusted brew. True North beers are somewhat variable, and this was no exception.)

The pub is now much smarter than before, with more of a cafe-bar feel to it. This was exemplified by the approach of a waitress as I came in, asking if I was here to eat or just for a drink. After I had taken my beer to a dining table (there is no other sort and they're somewhat regimented) I observed a couple come in and go straight to a table without even looking at the bar - it's that sort of place now. The sound track is ok if you don't mind listening to Space Oddity again. And Dock of the Bay. And Under the Boardwalk. OK, maybe not so good after all.

Some people will no doubt like this new version of the former pub, but my bet is they won't be the same people that used to like it as the Old House.

Alan Winfield left this review about The Old House

The Old House looks a bit more pub like than other bars on devonshire street.
Once inside there is a square shaped room with the bar facing,the room is divided into two halfs by a wall.
The floor is bare boarded and the seating mainly normal tables and chairs.
There was a good choice of real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Ilkley Mary Jane which was a very nice well kept beer,the other beers i noted were Ilkley Joshuar Jane,Bradfield Farmers Blonde,Barnsley bitter and Black Iris.
The pub had a really nice laid back atmosphere.
I quite liked this one.
