What a pub! I'm originally from the North but have been living in the South for the past 15 years of my life. Beer is served flat there, and is generally less hoppy than it is up in the North. Was brilliant to come back to one of the best beer serving pubs in the North and enjoy a nice pint!

The One Eyed rat is without a doubt the best pub in the area. I'm a relatively new drinker there as I've only been going for the past 5 years!! but we're so lucky to have it in Ripon. It has many rotating real ales all kept well and served by bar staff who know how to pour a proper pint. Curry trips and beer festivals at least twice a year and a garden which in summer is always well attended. But best of all Summer Lightning is on about once a month. Well done Dave and Ruth keep up the good work.

Its nice to see from the photos that the Rat is still the same. I use to work in the pub about 5 yrs ago when Les and scott ran it. Do you still have 'Muppets Corner' where the locals sit and Do they still do the German beer Festival. I must come back and visit sometime.

Well done on gaining cask marque recognition, I just spotted it when looking on their web site for somewhere to visit in Ripon. I see what they mean my beers were great and I had plenty!!!

My wife and I come from Sheffield, reputedly the Real Ale Capital of England but are moving to Wath just outside Ripon in the near future. What a fantastic area and best of all one of My favourite pubs, I for one can't wait. Keep up the great work Dave & Ruth.

So understated that you may even miss it.A long thin room with so many fonts that you can hardly see the fridges behind never mind the friendly bar staff.

Probably the best kept ales you will find anywhere - yes I really mean anywhere! Good selection of continental lagers and fruit wines. In fact everything for the discerning palate. Come visit and enjoy the warm welcome and great conversation.
