The Red Bear, Thirsk

Narrow long pub with the bar to the left and a front and rear room. Everybody but me was in the front room. Toilets right at the back. Two TVs in the rear room. Two weak real ales on sale.

Quite a dark but characterful interior. 3 real ales.

A dark and interesting interior, too much exposed brick but some really good carved woodwork, stained glass and even an old kitchen range in the back of the long single bar. Lots of victorian nic-nacs and ornamental brass objects. A pub with a great deal of potential is let down by some dire beer from Greene King, drinkable but not with much pleasure. The customers didn't seem all that pleased to be there either.
