The One Eyed Rat
The One Eyed Rat, Ripon is not technically a food pub but without doubt one of the best places to go in Ripon if you fancy a “liquid lunch” !
One of the most popular drinking houses in Ripon, and very much a “proper pub”, The One Eyed Rat prides itself on serving a wide range of Guest and Resident Beers from around the UK and the world and is very much a drinking persons’ pub whether you fancy some Black Sheep Bitter, Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, Scrumpy Jack Cider or something with a more European flavour such as Duvel from Belgium.
Originally known as the Lord Nelson, the One Eyed Rat was renamed in the mid eighties and is tailored for those who like to enjoy good beer without all the modern day theme pub distractions such as music, food and children.
The One Eyed Rat also boasts a large beer garden at the rear which is perfect for enjoying a pint in the sunshine on a Summer’s day and is also one of rare pubs where you can still enjoy a game of Bar Billiards in the bar area.
If you enjoy your pubs in the CAMRA style, The One Eyed Rat is the one to visit in Ripon
