The Junction Inn in Guiseley

Ah, The Junction Inn – it's one of those pubs that just warms your cockles the moment you step inside. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this genuine traditional charm with an open fire crackling away on chilly days, and it's packed with a great range of beers that keep everyone coming back for more. Weekends are buzzing with live music, which adds a real lively edge and makes it feel like the heart of the community. The staff are absolute gems, always up for a chat and making sure you feel welcome, and it's brilliant that it's dog-friendly too – perfect if you're popping in with your four-legged friend. Prices are spot on for a casual outing, so you won't feel like you're splashing out unnecessarily. On the flip side, though, the stone floor can be a bit uneven, so it's worth being careful, especially after a couple of pints. And while there are bar snacks on offer, it doesn't seem to be the go-to place for a proper sit-down meal, which might disappoint if you're after something more substantial. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone in Otley looking for a good laugh, great ale, and that homely pub vibe – I'd say give it a try if you haven't already!
