Track & Sleeper, Knaresborough

Station bar opened 2021 on Platform 2 (York-bound) of Knaresborough's Grade II listed railway station. Operated by the owners of Gorilla Brewing in South Yorkshire, this is an award-winning renovation of an old railway building, comprising two rooms, a large room and a snug. At the back of the larger room a bar constructed of old railway sleepers with a length of railway track at its foot, has four handpulls at the front, serving beers from Gorilla, often including a dark, and guest ales too. There are six keg lines, some of which sometimes dispense KeyKeg beers. On the bar there are pork pies and sausage rolls supplied by a local butcher available to purchase. A train indicator board on the wall behind the bar will help to ensure you don’t miss your train.

Beer prices are displayed on a board up on the wall to the left-hand side of the bar; a 10% discount is offered to Railcard holders and train staff on all drinks.
