Quinno _ left this review about Piccadilly Tap

Thin and dull oblong shop conversion, a stone’s throw from the entrance to the BR. Weird sticky-out bar (pier-like, as per review further down) which is situated at the far end of the room and you have to go to the right side to get served which is a pest if time is tight and you’re unfamiliar with the house system. Usual micro-style seating. Live train departure board, which is always welcome. Six cask on, good range of strengths and styles. My half of Daradach Stout by Tun Brewing was in really good nick (NBSS 4) and under a fiver, as was my follow-up of Mallinson US Blonde (4) coupled with swift and efficient service. It all seemed decent enough in here given the context, apart from the broken front door not fully closing which was a bummer on a wet and windy day – I see that this was a problem way back in 2018! Cask range and quality means it is a default when changing trains - I’ll absolutely use it again in that context. But as a 360 degree pub experience it does fall a little short. It's not GBG listed this year but should be, based on my visit. 7.5

The Piccadilly Tap is a thin bar with open plan seating in the wood panel walled front that consists of high tables up the left and centre and banquettes up the right-hand wall. At the rear is a fake stone cladded bar area with a very thin U-shaped serving counter that supports at least five hand pumps that were drawing TT Landlord Dark, Blackjack Brewery’s Jack in the Box, Mallinson’s Shifting Chaos and All the Women as well as Adnams Lighthouse. There were also a couple of real ciders and I counted 21 keg fonts across the back bar for premium and craft lager, stout and cider options. I was the last person served just before the polite but eager to leave barmen rang last orders at 22:30, a decent pint of All the Women was had. Upstairs is another room with the same 1970s wood panelling and stone cladding, some green banquettes and a pool table. There’s also balcony seating at the front that overlooks Crazyville below. It was better in here than I thought it would be late doors on a weeknight, although the background music was very niche

This modern bar is really close to Piccadilly station and so it ideal for use when travelling,it has a small scrolling train departure board.There are external high tables while inside the shop conversion is functional but unattractive with lower level seating to the right and high tables elsewhere.
A two sided bar extends into the body of the pub,there is a pool table upstairs,a few more seats then an attractve balcony overlooking the walk way.
There is a large beer menu opposite the bar with 5 real ales well chosen on my trip with Blackjack Early Days Porter,Adnams Ghost Ship,Marble Pint,Thornbridge Lord Marples and Kirkstall Disollution IPA (NBSS 4),together with 3 real ciders and 18 kegs with many contintal lagers,beer from leading microbrewers and a single sour.
A decent ale line up was worth more than the single pint I consumed and I will use this pub when ever the opportunity arises.Better than I was expecting in this area not known for good ale.
