A typical micro-pub shop conversion with a friendly owner serving spot on ales from six handpumps. Surprisingly quiet when I was there at 5pm on a Friday, but it gradually got busier.

Weld Road / Trafalgar Road |
| Pines | This tiny micro-pub in a former hairdresser's was very busy at 6pm on a Friday. Luckily some of the customers were sitting outside in the autumn sunshine, otherwise I wouldn't have found a seat. Two handpumps serve quality ales, and I was impressed to see a cask changed and pulled through at such a busy time. I was intrigued by a keg font serving "Frizzante 1754", especially when it came with a cherry! Apparently it's a draught Prosecco.

Hillside Road / Sandon Road | |
| Portland Hotel | Tetley / Carling, Foster's, Stella | Outside this large free-standing building looks a bit tatty. Inside is much better, a decent traditional local pub with two sides, the large lounge side knocked through into one room. I was pleased to see a real fire being laid and lit, but sad to be the only customer on a sunny Tuesday afternoon.

| Up Steps | various / Coors, Foster's, Stella |
