A village pub that has recently changed hands, with consequent change of name from the former Sailor, which I never went in (it was never open on my previous visits to Addingham). The pub's exterior certainly looks a lot smarter, and the inside has been given a right going over. It's thoroughly modern, with 00s lamps, 90s floor, 80s tables and chairs, 70s wallpaper and 60s tongue and groove. I got the impression that the people running this pub now are first-timers - there's a combination of tremendous enthusiasm and slightly amateurish execution. Timothy Taylor provided both the available beers, Landlord and Golden Best, and my pint of the former was very thoroughly thrashed by the sparkler and return valve, but pretty good nevertheless. My arrival was closely followed by the evening's bingo session, which had the slight benefit of requiring the silencing of the background music. I've only ever experienced bingo when passing one of those amusement stalls at the seaside, so this was a new experience for me - and a completely tedious and very boring one it was too. Luckily I had declined the option of taking part and was able to leave long before any shouts of "house" had been made.

A well run locals free house pub with a friendly and chatty landlord. The interior is comfortable and had a homely feel. A fire was lit at the far end of the bar area and a large TV was showing some sport at a reasonable volume. Two ales on handpump TT Landlord and Tetleys.

The Sailor is a stand alone pub that is situated on Addinghams very quiet high street.
Once inside there is a single L shaped room with the bar facing,the seating is bench type to the front right and normal tables and chairs,there is a pool table to the front left and there is a small area to the rear left which may be used has a dining area,the seating here is high backed chairs.
The room is carpeted throughout,there was a TV to the front right showing the Huddersfield v Leeds game.
There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Ghost Brew Co Wraith,which was a very nice drink,the other beers were Taylor Landlord and John Smiths Cask.
Food was being served on my Saturday dinner visit,the dishes i noticed looked quite nice.
This is a decent enough pub that would suit most types of customers.
