Graham Coombs left this review about The Mess Room
A music venue across the canal. There is a nice cosy bar, with a good covered patio outside and a big hall at the back for the bands. I don't know what it is like when they are performing but earlier on it is very pleasant and friendly. Three handpumps had Goose Eye Pommies Revenge, Ossett Butterley and White Rat, condition fine. I would be happy to return.

It’s had a big makeover, the counter has been turned through 90 degress, there’s an extra space at the back and the decor has completely changed, being darker and more intimate. Two pulls with Tetleys on one and a mediocre Goose Eye Bitter on the other. Still nowhere near as good as the Boathouse Bar across the canal.

Yet another micro in Skipton that doesn't open when it says it does. This is getting a bit annoying now. Supposed to open at 5 on a Thursday. In darkness at 9 and a closed sign right next to the opening times stating it should be open. Pathetic.

Micro, as in small, bar near the canal sadly a car park gets in the way of it being a canal side pub unlike its neighbour across the water. It’s an old stone built single storey building, the single room is done out in purple with a wooden bar at one end. Four pulls with beers from Roosters, Goose Eye and Wharfedale, one keg fount on the counter plus five taps on the back wall and a range of spirits; a blackboard advertises cocktails at £8 to £8.50 a shot. My beer was fine but a chap brought one back that was changed without question, so a big tick there. The minimalist decor is music oriented with a picture of Bowie and a couple of album covers plus other arty pics n stuff, the piped music is relentless and was mainly from the sixties when I dropped by, live music is also advertised. Edison bulbs and industrial lighting fixtures with a mix of bench seating and candle powered scaffolding tables as furnishing. There’s a nice outdoor area with heaters and covers which seems quite popular. Toilets unmarked but to right of counter through the sliding door.
