House Without a Name, Harwood (No Name)

Locally known as the No Name, this pub was registered with its unique title when its first publican went to apply for a licence. Asked for the name of the house, he is reported to have replied "It has no name." It is a cosy terraced venue made from two cottages which were originally built in the 1830s. Flag floors are retained in some areas, but it has been sensitively recently refurbished. On the left as you enter is a small bar while straight on leads to the lounge which now has a real fire. Popular national beers are supplemented by free-of-tie guest beers of the landlords choice and generally from local and regional breweries, Joseph Holts Bitter has been on sale here since 1996. He makes an effort to ensure there is a good range of styles of beer, including pale ales, blondes, bitters and milds or stouts on the bar at any one time and the quality is top notch. Local Carr's Pasties are sometimes available during opening hours. There is a quiz night on Monday. There are three HD TVs, with one large screen in the lounge and all premium sports channels are available. The TVs are usually muted unless playing music and rarely interfere with the chat-focussed atmosphere.
