I paid a couple of visits here during my short stay in the city, there were three or four cask beers on offer with which I started with an apptley named pint of Hello Traveller by Shiny brewery which was decent enough but it would seem the pubs forte is a more interesting keg offering with ten craft beers displayed on a chalk board, I further indulged in Saint Mars Of The Desert Hop Stingo, a sour and in my later visit Turning Point Laguna Sunrise, an odd name for a 10% Imperial stout but nice all the same. This is a good solid boozer with beers to cover most peoples tastes.

The former Old Crown Inn had been closed as a pub for many years, having operated as Sleep (i.e. just a hotel) for about a decade, but two years ago was resurrected as the Crow Inn. (This play on words with the pub's original name is probably lost on most, ignorant of the former name, but is to be seen repeated in glassware around the pub.) The upstairs hotel rooms have been retained, but the ground floor has returned to its original use, with very smart decor and friendly service. My review of two years ago reads a little churlishly in retrospect, and these days I now concentrate my attentions on the keg blackboard and do my cask beer drinking elsewhere. It's called playing to the pub's strengths. Today, my first visit after the lockdown restrictions were partly relaxed, I went for a mixed selection and would have stayed for more if one of them hadn't been 18% abv, which is a huge belt of alcohol even if you only drink a third of a pint. These beers are a little extreme, with prices to match, but the enjoyment level is as high as the potential intoxication. Highly recommended.

I’m going to have to disagree with Tris here. Yes this is the new shiny crafty kid on the block and as such was attracting the shiny craft crowd ( or it was until the Pubs Galore crew rocked up), but Brew Dog in Shoreditch will still out facial hair this place by some margin.
All very nice and clean and spotlessly new with a light pastel colour scheme as mentioned by others and traditional it may not be, but the smallish serving area certainly packs a punch with five cask pumps and fourteen keg taps.
The ale choice was not too shabby with two from Abbeydale ( Heathern and Daily Bread ), Kirkstall Inman & Howgate and Beatnikz Republic Midtown and the Midtown was a decent Porter.
But the key interest for quite a few that this place will attract will be what is coming out of the keg taps and although I didn’t note them down I recognised quite a few of the usual suspect craft brewers in the form of Siren Craft, Cloudwater, Pressure drop and Kernel Brewery and a couple I wasn’t so familiar with such as Kern River and Garage Beer Co.
A plus point for me was also the availability of a pork pie menu although this was bordering on being artisan in keeping with the pub, but no complaints with the Chicken and black pudding one I tried.
In conclusion it’s very good to have this one back functioning as a pub and it will definitely appeal to certain demographics, for example if I had brought my good lady to this one and the nearby Shakespeare I can guess which one she would allow us to return to, and I will give you a clue, it doesn’t begin with S.
