Steve C left this review about Old Bell
The Old Bell is a large double shop conversion with the Farrah Room lounge to the right and bar to the left. At first I thought they’d spelt Mo’s name wrong, but later in the day I discovered that Farrah’s is a local toffee producer. The eight hand pumps were drawing TT Boltmaker, Rooster’s 30th Anniversary and London Thunder, Kirkstall’s Three Swords, Ilkley’s Mary Jane, Northern Monk’s A Little Faith and Eternal alongside Weston’s Rosie’s Pig Cider. The London Thunder was a decent porter. Premium and craft keg were also available, as was food with the burger coming in at a seemingly very reasonable £8. No television, but the likes of Meatloaf were playing in the background. We were the only customers early on a recent Friday afternoon, but I could see that there would be a good atmosphere when a little busier. I’d revisit if passing.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Old Bell
Part of an impressive terrace of four-storey buildings, the pub has been extended into a former shop next door to provide a bar and separate lounge. What came as a surprise, though, was how sparsely decorated the former part was. With seven of eight handpumps in use, we found six real ales from the likes of Roosters and Northern Monk (including A Little Faith, £2.29 with Camra discount, half) plus a cider.

Bucking Fastard left this review about Old Bell
Despite it's pub like name,this is a shop conversion and had two quite sparse rooms on the ground floor and a cocktail bar on the first floor.The servery is in the left room and there was a warm welcome and an attempt to get us crawlers to stay longer offering half price on the first 5 pints pulled from a new keg beer,which was politely declined.Well done to the staff for enquiring whether I was a CAMRA member,I got the discount despite it not being my round ! There was a decent line up of craft keg beers too.
The 6 handpumps were offereing Ilkley Mary Jane,Roosters 30th Anniversary Pale,Kirkstall Three Swords,TT Boltmakers,Northern Monk Eternal (NBSS 4,served in a silly branded half bowl) and Little Faith along with an Olde Rosie cider.The wooden bar had a beautiful double curved frontage and given the decent selection of Yorkshire ales I would recommend a crawl visit if in town.
