Re-opened 15th March 2022 after refurbishment and the addition of an extension to the rear of the building. It is a large open plan pub with a long bar at the back and plenty of tables and seating throughout. Pictures of Otley and its history adorn the walls. To the front of the pub is an outdoor drinking area. The Grade II listed building was built in 1757 and has previously been a court, assembly rooms and place of worship before becoming a pub in 1825.
