So!, Knaresborough

The name says it all, I believe it is actually rendered as “SO!, - bar and eats” rather than “sober and eats”, and that's what you get: a very nice bar with food. Four handpumps with London Pride, Deuchars, Moorhouses Blonde and Roosters YPA, I was torn between Lancs and Yorks but local boys Roosters won and I was not disappointed, a great pint. Two banks of keg fonts; one offering a less boring range from Europe including Leffe, Hoegaarden, Peroni and Staropramen; the other a more typical range with a smooth, Guinness and Blackthorn, lagers from Becks and Stella. Décor is modern, pastel shaded walls, tiled and parquet floors, sofas and low tables to one end with normal tables and chairs largely at the other and a few tall tables and stools in the middle. The staff were young and enthusiastic, the punters quite a mix of families, pensioners and bright young things although it was a lunchtime visit.
