With the Sound Bar having moved around the corner this, has now opened as Speakeasy. It's an eclectic mix of music, clientele and atmosphere with both cards and dominoes being played by a much younger group than you may expect. Three handpumps with two beers available during our stay, both from Lamb brewery which is new to me. Both the beers I had were in good nick, served by a friendly barmaid. It shuts at 10:30 in midweek, but as we'd been out most of the afternoon, this wasn't a problem.

An eclectic micropub in a former shop unit,the large plate glass windows at the front bring in a lot of natural sunlight to an open plan interior with a mix of furniture,some traditional,some red leather sofas and comfy chairs.The small bar on the left offers beers from the LAMB brewery,so this pub acts as their tap.The muzak is also eclectic and enjoyable and there is a mix of age groups who use this place,the friendly young barman joined in a game of dominoes with some older punters.The internal decor is quite dark but flex lighting helps,the loos are up a long stasircase.There is even a darts board tucked into a rear corner.
On my trip the three ale choices were LAMB Bitter,Pale and a house Speakeasy Cream Ale (NBSS 4.5,very enjoyable) Maybe not an ale range as wide as the leading real ale venues in town but well worth stopping for the one or maybe two !

A new bar that has taken over the old Soundbar premises, it’s very much changed from those days. There’s a dark area beyond the now sideways counter, three beers from Lamb of Littondale including a specially brewed house beer which won first prize at the Skipton Beer Festival. There’s also a usual suspects T-Bar and a Moretti solo. Tongue and groove down the side, there’s a mix of seating with quite posh chairs, a sofa and bar stools. The décor would be described as eclectic. Toilets are upstairs.
