A shop conversion so it’s long and thin with the counter to the centre right. There is also a downstairs seating area apparently. One hand pump on the counter with an average Ossett White Rat, the back wall has the standard ten keg taps with a good variety of beers and a cider. All are listed on separate strips of blackboard to the right of the counter. Industrial floor, the tables are modern wood on deco style metal bases, the seating consists of long benches curved at the ends or modern versions of machinists stools. There’s a couple of fridges, one of soft drinks and mixers the other of beers. A few pictures as decor and a screen; most of the “decor” is in the front windows. A better drinking experience than nearby R&G but still a touch bleak.

Fiveclouds Tap & Bottle is a small shop converted bar with a serving counter mid-way along the right-hand wall where craft keg is available from ten fonts that run across the back bar. There are two hand pumps on the bar counter, one of which was unused and the other had been repurposed as a blue roll holder. I don’t know why bars do this, you wouldn’t leave a mop leaning in the corner so why have spill paper as a main focal point on the counter? I went for half of Salt Beer Factory’s Jute which was my least favourite and most expensive drink of the day. I liked the wooden décor and found the service to be polite, but the music was too loud for a Monday evening. A friendly bar, but the lack of cask means that I’ll probably not visit again.

Called in again last Sunday. No beer on the handpumps as apparently as they can't sell enough of it and the whole place felt a dark and dingy. Decided to leave it this time around. There were only 3 others in the place, the quietest pub we went in all evening.

This is a one roomed bar with a cellar area that can be hired, although it's a bit gloomy down there. Mainly high tables and chairs plus a few leaning places. They now have a handpump that is in use permanently puling a changing beer. My notes fail me as to what this was during our visit, but it was in good nick. Friendly staff and punters make this a pleasant place to call in.
