Located in a part of the historic listed railway station, in fact it’s the York bound platform 2, run by Gorilla Brewing of Mexborough. Quite a narrow area with two rooms, the counter, built of sleepers with an actual rail as the foot rail, is in the larger left hand room. Seating at high tables mainly but with a leather armchair and a low table, the right hand is more cosy. There is also an outside seating area cordoned off from the platform, some trains sit in the station for a while so those might not be the best seats in the house. Six pulls with a mix of their own Gorilla beers plus someThornbridge which seems regular and a Roosters on this occasion, six craft kegs, four keg Martini cocktails (!) and the usual range of spirits. A little railway porn as decoration, no table candles but more interesting Edison lamps in cages so they don’t escape. Really nicely finished, it took 16 months to renovate and has worked out very well, an excellent addition to the Knaresborough drinking scene and a stop on the small but interesting York- Leeds rail-ale trail.
