One room pub in an alleyway just off Westgate. A former print works with pictures of print working adorning the walls. The bar was rescued from the Union pub which was nearby on Horbury Road and was closed a few years ago. The six hand pulls usually have one dark beer and beers from Abbeydale, Acorn, Ossett and Oakham. Live music Tue and BH Sun.
