    A brilliant traditional pub. We found it after an ace trip on Keighley Worth Valley Steam train , found the staff and the locals very friendly and the beer was great too! Thanks for looking after all of us while we waited for our coach.

    We popped in just for a pint having been to the K&WV Railway beer festival, I had the Bolt Maker this was spot on. Very busy pub & a good atmosphere. The landlady even washed our festival glasses for us before we went back. If you are visiting Keighley definitely recommend this pub as the beer is kept very well.

    The landlady is the most friendly and wonderful woman. I absolutely love this small but very wonderful pub in the centre of Keighley I had my wedding and it was not scheduled. There was no booking in advance and she brought out a glass of prosecco for me. She was so friendly. The fire was lit. What a wonderful atmosphere. I have been a few times before, which is why I wanted to end my ceremony at this very wonderful and beautiful place. Long live the bolt makers arms!

    This is an excellent pub! I can thoroughly recommend it! The beer was superb and well kept. The pub itself is comfortable and proper 'old English' style. Jamie* behind the bar was friendly, talkative and knowledgeable, A real credit to the pub. Myself and my fiancee will be back soon! *Hope I remembered his name correctly! Apologies if not.

    Just out for a drink? It's the best pub in the world and it's a close walk from Keighley station. A word of warning, customers are friendly and will talk to you and 20 people will pack the place out.

    What a fantastic little pub in Keighley! A wide range of Timothy Taylor real ales. I enjoyed a Boltmaker from The Boltmakers Arms. The service is great and the beers are really wonderful. This is an essential visit whilst in Keighley! Highly recommended!

    Great local pub with excellent range of Timothy Taylors beers. Excellent addition in the gents for the World Cup, though many still need to improve on their dribbling!

  • 5/5 Wallyhog (. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb pub with seven Timothy Taylor beers plus a guest on hand pump. Pleasant and helpful landlady when 10 of us descended on her on a Thurs afternoon recently. Locals friendly and welcoming too. Highly recommended for a welcome visit, along with other good Keighley ale houses.

    Visited this pub Friday and Saturday 11/12-06-21. Great landlord, interesting punters and marvellous Timothy Taylor beer. Good for a beer before or after a meal in the many nearby restaurants. Photo in Oxford, but inspires by the pub.
