About

A craft beer bar at 9 Orchard Gate in Otley, in premises previously occupied by Groove Pad & Vinyl. It opened on 3 November 2022 as a joint venture between the Curious Hop off-licence on New Market, since closed, and Major Tom''s Social of Harrogate.

CAMRA''s survey records three handpumps of changing cask beer, mostly from northern brewers, and ten keg lines running to sours, double IPAs and stouts from British and European breweries, with gluten-free and vegan options among them. Bottles and cans are sold to drink in or take away, and growlers are filled. Food is limited to toasties and sausage rolls. There is a pavement seating area outside, an upstairs room with board games and a dartboard, step-free access and an accessible toilet.
