Moby Duck left this review about 1000 Trades
A long narrow room that stretches back some way with the bar on your right as you enter, Four handpumps and a selection of craft beers on keg. There was only one cask beer on offer, Printworks Helvetica, another pump was dispensing Lillys Mango Cider.
I thought it decent in here.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about 1000 Trades
Despite the narrow frontage, this pub is larger than one might expect, extending back some way up a single step once you pass the bar. The small front seating area is quite traditional (with a real fire), whereas the bigger dining area further back has a more modern look, and there are also a few wooden tables out on the pavement. Four handpumps on the counter, dispensing Settle Mainline bitter, Green Duck Session IPA (£4.32 with 10% Camra discount) and a Lilley's cider, with the chalk board suggesting that the other was also in use earlier in the day.

A small pub, though it does stretch back and there is apparently an upstairs part. Not much change in the beers listed in previous review. Service back to normal. 3 tables out front should you so wish.

We nearly got turned away from this bar which is on the city centre side of the Jewellery Quarter.
All tables were reserved, but luckily one couple had left early and there was no booking for another 45 minutes or so.
Ordering was a little confusing. You could view the beer list by scanning a QR code, but you couldn't actually order a beer using the website. So, service took a little longer than we'd hoped.
Real ales were 1000 Trades Cool Runnings, Mallinson's Mandarina Bavaria & XT Animal Lemming. Craft beers on keg were Fixed Wheel Blackheath Stout & Mule Kick, Brew by Numbers Strata & Talus & Salopian Auric & Purr IPA. The cider (also keg) was Sandford Orchards Devon Mist.
Certainly a popular place, which is spread over 2 floors, but not quite as good as other places in the area.

A bar/restaurant for the Rock and Roll Brewery. Thin, long pub with area separate area for drinkers and diners. Twin DJ Decks hint at the entertainment that might be on during a weekend.
Beers are detailed on a chalk board and the Rock and Roll Bitter was perfect.

I liked this place. We were made welcome by friendly staff, and the beer choice was good as Signature Brew had a sort of tap takeover with their beers on both cask and keg. We tried 2 of their cask beers, Nightliner which was a good porter, and the Roadie. The front had been opened up onto the street so 2 tables were facing outside. Weather perfect for it on Saturday. There was a lot of artwork for sale on the walls in the rear area of the bar. There is also a range of bottles and cans in a fridge behind the bar. and an interesting tapas menu.

Real Ale Ray left this review about 1000 Trades
A long and narrow bar with the main bar area over on the right as you enter. The staff in here were welcoming and helpful when choosing a beer and to hand out a couple of samples was no problem. There were four handpulls, with three in use serving a house beer called Best Beta, which is brewed locally by Rock and Roll Brewhouse. Also on was Great Heck "Dave" and Summer Wine Brewery Resistance, which was a dark mild. They also had a good range of bottled and canned beers, so I went for a can of Magic Rock High Wire, as I was requiring a grapefruit hit. They also had a choice of six beers on key keg.

Café bar in Jewellery Quarter, one of a number of upmarket bars in the area.
Number of areas for groups to gather and there is a lot of bare brickwork, high ceiling, former small industrial building.
Nice enough place
