Reviews

  • Christopher McKenna

Love this place. We have relatives in Otley who are regulars here and we always join them when we are visiting. Always a great selection of beers and tons of gin to choose from. Dog friendly, child friendly and for the calibre of drinks they serve, also wallet friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating for when it’s nice out, plus there are often little food stalls there on a weekend. Great vibe about the place and the staff are so friendly. Wish there was one closer to home for us!

  • Simon Hunter

Nice place but slow service. That said, it was the first day of Covid rule changes so the staff didn't seem to know whether they were doing table service or serving at the bar. Outdoor tables were full of empty glasses and tables were filthy and sticky. Had to ask the server to remove the glasses (previous customers) and clean the table (she did a poor job).

  • Bex Bentley

I often visit this great little bar with my dog. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and offer brilliant table service. They always have a wide range of world beers and the cheese and meat board is delicious. They also have dog bowls and treats, which keeps my pooch happy. Always a great experience and would fully recommend

Cosy and fun. What NBS lacks in size, it makes up for in mojo. The drinks range is not huge but carefully chosen and offers all of the lost important choices. The staff are friendly and if you live nearby, this is the place to go for a very warm welcome from other Otley folk!

  • David Mason

Trying to read the free newspapers and had to listen to the staff talking so load i had to go and sit outside. I may be an old git but there where days when the customer wasn't having to move due to music that couldn't be heard over the staff. Go next door instead.

  • Tom Elgie

Another North Bar Classic. Love this brand and love their beer. North Bar Social located in Otley is small, but cosy inside and they have a large, covered seating area outside, with heaters for when the weather is a bit chilly.

  • Adele Harris

Discovered this place when looking for somewhere to sit out with a drink in summer and I just hope it can keep trading through the winter. It's a lovely bar with an excellent selection and friendly staff.

  • Seb Frost

Can be a bit cramped when busy and could do with restricting the hours children can be there. Great atmosphere and REALLY good drinks selection. Nice to see something a little different in Otley

  • Andrew Vickers

Excellent local bar. Great beers and outside space to drink. UPDATE JULY 2022 : Still an excellent choice, good range of beers including a few cask options. Massive sunny outside space.

  • Simon Landin

Another bar that has joined the dark side by removing cash from the menu. Of course this makes management a doddle but means that bar staff lose out on tips in a big way. Lazy.

  • Daniel Clark

Superb pub. Only drawback is it needs to be slightly bigger during the winter. But they have transformed the outdoor area, which makes it perfect for lazy summer sun drinking.

  • Darren Tomkinson

What a lovely little craft and ale bar with a great beer garden. Had four of the cask pales which were excellent. A great place to cool off and rehydrate after a long walk.

  • John Rogerson

Another great addition to the north group, and Otley. Everything you expect here, great beer, quirky interior, friendly staff. Well worth a visit!

  • Rob Fielding

Great venue with choices of Ales and IPAs...staff are attentive and really welcoming. The interior is warm and great art and prints on walls

  • Brian Stubbs

Great bar, lovely upstairs with nice lights. Good well kept craft ales but check price before ordering as some are a bit on the pricey side

  • Maha El Nasser

Great beer (including a good AF selection in cans and bottles). Great outdoor space (despite the road noise). Slightly over-priced peanuts.

  • Big D

Fantastic venue, had a pint if ale and the wife had a fancy GnT. We sat outside next to the heaters for a pre meal drink or 2

  • George Young

Great bar. Small, but perfectly formed! Not a craft beer expert but the range looked top notch. Great decor in upstairs room.
