Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Craft Asylum #1
Ground-floor bar under the towering 'Candle' building, recently repurposed by Ossett using the label of its Salt offshoot. The trendy modern bar look hasn't changed much, and there are still the part-covered outside tables for the better weather. Beer-wise, the 14 craft beer and cider taps on the bar-back may catch the eye, but my attention was drawn to the four handpumps on the counter and the guest White Rat (£3.30) in particular. Still well worth a visit.

Closing on Sunday 21st October 2018 and reopening 16th November as "Craft Asylum"
Ossett says it will be "A new craft-focused city centre bar, showcasing modern hop-forward
beers from Salt Beer Factory and leading guest breweries." Salt Beer is their 'craft' brewery.

A modern, Osset owned bar on Granary Wharf specialising in Japanese food.
It's well done inside and hangs together but is unashamedly a modern bar so don't expect anything in the way of a traditional boozer.
The staff are young, attractive and trendy as well as being very good humoured, efficient and knowledgeable on their beer.
There's an extensive menu offering Japanese food in various guises. It isn't just sushi and sashimi and there's also the option of a variety of Japanese tapas. We went for a mixture of dishes which were delicious and filling and although not cheap they were a real treat.
Many of the customers weren't eating though and there isn't any pressure, or even any invitation, to do so.
Three handpumps were clipped Osset Yorkshire Blonde, Rat White Rat and Reservoir Rats and there's a fair range of keg options listed on the blackboard behind the bar. Everything we tried was in very good nick. There's also an extensive range of both sake and gin.
A very good spot for a pint to watch the world go by and even better if you like Japanese food.
