The Magdalens, Ripon

Same basic layout as many years ago but a lick of grey plague paint, new upholstery and woodwork gives a fresh look. Minimalist decor of plain white walls with old photos of Ripon. There’s a pull down screen where the trophy cabinet was. Six pulls with Theakston Best, Doombar and 61 Deep as well as two little T-bars of the usual lagers, a smooth and a cider, there’s also a Guinness fount and a Guinness USB thingy. My Theakston’s was just on the turn, not enough to take back but… The pool table is still there as are games machines. Chocolate bars and usual snacks are sold as well as scratchings from a machine on the bar, I didn’t ask for any. Still pretty much a locals pub.
