The Courtyard, Ilkley

A café bar type place behind the Crescent hotel in an old warehouse like building. There are two bars on two floors, downstairs the L shaped bar is to the side with three handpumps with locally brewed Wharfebank and Ilkley plus a house beer brewed by Naylors of nearby Keighley, condition was excellent. Naturally wine, cocktails and kegs are available. Furnished with tables and chairs in a limited mix of styles, the menus are on clipboards and some tables have small brass oil lamps with brass shades, thankfully no candles. In spite of its non pub like atmosphere I quite liked the place, obviously it's more the kind of establishment I would take Mrs OB.
