We are a warm and cosy micropub, true to the values of the micropub ethos. We offer a warm welcome (as our many reviews testify) and up to 5 ever-changing real ales from around the country, hand-pulled to perfection. We are in the Camra Good Beer Guide for the Sixth year running. In addition to real ale we also dispense still cider, a range of wines (3 red, 3 white, 1 rose and 1 prosecco) together with a range of continental bottled beers.

Adam and Steve run a fabulous little micro pub with a wonderful atmosphere. There are usually 5 hand pulled ales available, all well kept reasonably priced. A selection of wines and ciders complement the line up. Regulars and casual visitors chat together in the small and intimate surroundings. If you want to have a bit of fun, tell Adam the washroom mirror is ok, but the tiles are sloping. We found the place by chance on our first afternoon in town and managed to pop in for a “quick one” each day of our long weekend. Looking forward to returning next time we stay.

Always have a fabulous time at the Mess Room. Very friendly staff and a good range of drinks - highly recommend the rhubarb cider. The inside is very cosy but, if the weather is nice, there is no nicer place to sit than in the beer garden. Can't wait until it opens again so we can visit - hopefully with friends.

Superb as always. We only get chance to come here once a year but when we come to Skipton this is an absolute must. Amazing staff and a great selection of drinks in a modern but cosy environment. Cannot praise the staff enough!
6. Early Doors

A micro pub with a big welcome. Offering the finest selection of real ales (1 permanent and 5 guest) bottled continental lagers and wine for all palettes. A warm welcome awaits you in this small corner of Skipton, we're open 7 days a week. You will not find a better pint of real ale in Skipton. We offer complimentary locally made pork pies on a Friday tea time.

Every time I visit Skipton Early Doors is the first choice for a drink where you can be assured of a genuine, warm welcome from both Paul the landlord and regular customers. This venue is classed as a "micro pub" not only because it serves a good selection of real ales (and a lager) from independent local brewers but also because the pub is tiny inside comprising of just one room (just about big enough for a liberal party conference). And the offerings are all very good indeed, my favourire being the Moorhouses Blonde Whitch which is exceptionall well kept and served - and at only £3.10 per pint. Of all the "micro pubs" in skipton I would rate Early Doors as the best for friendliness, well kept products and value. Keep up the good work Paul.

After wandering around the market we visited Coffee & Clay for a drink. As it was a lovely sunny day we sat outside and enjoyed one mug of tea and cup of coffee plus a fruit scone. The scone was divine, very light in texture, plenty of fruit and tasted delicious. The other cakes and sweet treats looked nice and next time perhaps we could sample them. The service was good and the staff were very friendly. A real gem of a place, well done :-)
