Ultra-modern bar inserted in an old building, as can be seen by the one remaining bit of brick wall. The rest is mostly glass and steel, with a fair bit of ceramics and a smattering of pop art. Patio tables outside straddle the handy public car park. Beers are all their own, with half a dozen Salt craft (all IPA types) and 3 equally light Ossett ales on handpump: Silver King, White Rat and Yorkshire Blonde. A clutch of wall taps disappointingly proved to be cocktails rather than beer. Personally I prefer something more traditional but it is ok for a change.

An interesting cafe bar with six pulls, only four in use, and an elaborate range of decent kegs. Oddly the cask range includes Theakstons Best and sadly the default glass for what they would undoubtably call "ales" is the bloody awful dimpled mug. the clientele was largely middle aged although there were a few younger people and there was the obligatory hipster behind the counter. Enough with the grumpy old man stuff, it is a different kind of place and it sells a range of well kept interesting beers and food including oysters at around £2.50 each or a half dozen at around £12.50 depending on what they are drenched in. There is pump clip decor including local favorites such as Roosters, Kirkstall, Brass Castle and Great Heck as well as some from a bit further afield, Marble and Gun for example. An interesting feature is a book shelf of beermats rather than the arty piles, novelty holders or complete lack of, found in similar bars. It's some kind of shop conversion but not a long thin one being rather more square , there's exposed brick, of course, a brushed steel counter front but no grey paint or Edison bulbs. Most of the punters were enjoying some of the wide range of coffees on my Saturday afternoon visit but I would like to see it in the evening when it might be a little livelier.
