If you enjoy a warm and friendly atmosphere then this place is a must on your visit to Ingleton. They serve a variety of craft beers and spirits in a unique setting that gives a nod to the old post office that it once was. Cosy lounge in the rear, very welcoming guys behind the bar. Frequented by both locals, visitors and their dogs who enjoy the complimentary gravy bones. They have live music some nights as well. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

As someone who lives close to the microbar, I've never thought to leave a review before. I knew it was a great bar, but I guess we take these things for granted.
We have missed this place so much since they had to close its doors in March. The atmosphere and the people (regulars and visitors alike) and of course the lads themselves who are so welcoming, true publicans. It's the kind of place you can go on your own and feel amongst friends even when you know no one.
Since closing the doors to the public though they haven't given up and have adapted, providing a takeaway collection and delivery service to the village. They have also put on online events which have helped us all stick together and keep us all sane.
The guys are a fantastic asset to the local community, and we wish them all the best and would urge you that when they can open again to pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed.
And if your local and wondering whether to give their takeaway service a try, it's second to none, great selection, great service, you can't lose.

The OPO has always been a fantastic to place when in Ingleton, during lockdown the guys have adapted. Not moaning at the situation they faced, they started a take-away/delivery service and to keep people smiling they have created fun videos and organised online events. Definitely a thumbs up from me

Went with Hubby for a delicious meal of Cornish Pasty and peas served perfectly cooked although we were quite full afterwards we managed a pudding of warm mince pie and cream . Rob and Adam were fabulous hosts as always and nothing was too much trouble . They have been busy during lockdown and the place looks fabulous. It was really good to be able to have something to eat . So lucky to have the OPO within walking distance. Looking forward to trying the new outdoor area out .

Spotted this place when wandering around the village. It was closed when we walked up the hill with a few people loitering around. Luckily for us it opened as well walked down the hill so we thought we would pop in for a swifty.
Despite its size it has a great selection of draft ales, bottles and cans of specialist ales. Lots of unusual Gins and Rums and some top notch speciality snacks.
The welcome was a warm one with one of the owners telling us about the garden at the back and how to order from there if you didn’t want to order inside.
We found a seat in the fab little garden outback and I went in to see what was available, clicking an order on the phone isn’t for me. I decided on a Leffe and ordered my good lady a nice Rum and coke. Inside looked just as welcoming as outside. It’s nicely done out and, again, despite its size, more than comfortable.
It’s always nice to get your beer in the glass that’s made for it, too many pubs have you playing beer-glass roulette these days. Mrs A enjoyed her Rumbullion too.
It was a wee bit chilly so we went inside only for the owner to point out another wee room out the back known as the Armoury for reasons that will become clear when you visit, as a I know you will following this review. Beautifully decorated and very atmospheric it lulled us into another drink. This time I tried the Hoffmeister, probably because I was reminded of the old advert with the Bear (I’m getting on a bit!). My good lady then went to the Chilli and chocolate Rum Served with ginger ale as recommended by the other owner !! Like Christmas is a glass
Both lads who have the place took time out to chat to us and it was nice to find out how they came about to get the place and how it is really working out. It’s good to see effort and gamble pay off. Well done fellas
We also tried the pork scratchings. Another must and great with the beautifully chilled lager
Already planning another couple later in the week before returning home from our short stay in Ingleton.
A great place worthy of its number one ranking
PS. It’s not a restaurant. It’s a fantastic little:micropub
Eat elsewhere but don’t miss this place
Anyway, spent a good hour plus there and

Was a please to meet you both and glad you enjoyed the recommendations. We have to serve the correct beer in the correct glass, the Leffe or Hoff just wouldn’t taste the same 😁
Please do come back and visit us again soon.

Our first jaunt out for a beer having been in lockdown since Christmas and we were not disappointed.
We sat in the cosy beer garden, were informed about the ordering app by one of our hosts and our adventure around the fabulous beverage offer begun. A crisp tasty, and perfectly chilled pilsner dully arrived accompanied by an alcohol free wheat beer, delicious!
We sat in the sunshine somewhat envious of the pre-booked group who had bagged “The Sanctum” the quirky but relaxed “Cabana” style seating area in the Secret Garden, but there is always another day. Unperturbed by the threat of a shower on the horizon we ordered another round of drinks. The order quickly arrived, an exquisite alcohol free Seedlip Citrus Gin accompanied by a quality tonic water from the good choice available and a tasty OPO Blonde, outstanding quality, price, and above all true hospitality from our hosts. A cracking first impression from our visit and clearly from the quality and attention to detail to the interior decor spied on our visit to the restroom (which was spotless) we will visit again.

Well where do you start with this place?! I’ve had the pleasure to be a customer here on several occasions whilst visiting the area and every time has been fantastic! The exterior of the place is inviting and when you step through the door it just gets better. The decor, layout, ambiance and general atmosphere is second to none. A very warm and welcoming little place with âne awesome range of beverages, many that I’ve never seen before. The front bar area is fab but the guys who own and run this little gem have turned the rear room into a great focal point that is equally as inviting and cosy. Rob and Adam have done amazing things with the O.P.O. and despite these challenging times they have overcome the obstacles put in their way and have been inventive but whilst ensuring social distancing and the safety of themselves and their customers. These guys are just so good at what they do and very friendly with it. I’d recommend anyone in the area to pop in and experience the delights that this place has to offer!

An absolutely fabulous little bar that we visited a number of times whilst staying in Ingleton
Rob and Adam are fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome along with the very friendly regulars.
A great range of drinks and snacks (naga chilli pork scratchings among them!)
If you only visit one bar in Ingleton then make it this one.
Thank you for your hospitality and best wishes for the future guys.

We visited here for the first time after both reading and hearing great things about this place and it did not disappoint. From the warm welcome and personal attention from the staff to the vast array of ales and spirits, this is somewhere we have on our list to visit again already (even though we live 90 miles away). The decor is both interesting and quirky, adding to an already inviting atmosphere. The size of the pub means you cannot help but chat to other visitors, who were locals upon our visit, but so friendly. The honeycomb ale is a must to try! Book a table in advance so that your not disappointed, its a popular place!!! We will be back soon and looking forward to it already.

We were so sad when the OPO had to close during lockdown. However, Rob and Adam quickly had online ordering and delivery set up so we were still able to enjoy our favourite beers. During lockdown they even hosted an online beer tasting event which was great fun! They really went above and beyond to make sure we all still had our lovely local at home - and their fathers day packs were great and we'll received! Can't wait for them to be open again in July :)

This is an absolute gem of a place (and I mean that literally, the neon lights are like being inside a multi-faceted pink diamond - I love it!)
A fantastic selection of beers to quench your thirst when we call in post-run while the kids are at judo.
Small but perfectly formed and with quirky decor that totally suits the place, the OPO has accommodated us indoors and outdoors and adapted to whatever BoJo has thrown at them over the last year or so.
Always welcoming, and I love that they know all about what they're serving up as well (a favourite being the relaunch of Hofmeister in the summer).
AND, they play some absolute bangers 🎧🎶💃
If you visit Ingleton, you MUST give the OPO a go!

The Old Post Office BEST BAR in Ingleton it is not a restaurant IT IS by far the best bar in the area. And the best bar I’ve ever been to. I holiday in Ingleton regularly and my hubby and I are made to feel welcomed not only by Adam & Rob who own the OPO but also by the lovely locals. Anyone entering the OPO as strangers definitely leave as friends. The service is friendly and professional and well organised under the Covid restrictions. The selection of drinks are Huge with a personal touch of recommendations if required from the hosts. The beer garden is stunning. The OPO is a little diamond in this beautiful village. I wish the OPO was close to home but then it wouldn’t be as special as it is when we are only there on holiday. I can’t believe a person who has never visited has been allowed to give this amazing place a poor review just because it is not a restaurant. The OPO advertises itself as a bar not a restaurant.
All our friends who we have taken to the OPO agree that it is a unique place and a wonderful experience. Although ideally I’d like it to be my secret place it needs to be shared because it is so lovely.

A friendly and welcoming bar with two of the loveliest hosts. They are very knowledgeable about the beer they serve and are happy to discuss and recommend tipples. Beware though, their rippling tattooed arms may distract from the tastings 😉☺️

Wow! What a great place! Very well designed, run and most importantly superb beers! (And well controlled COVID safe!) Everything you would expect from a post office 😁 We really enjoyed our visit here and the owners are very hospitable. We missed this last time we visited as it only opens from Thursday to Sunday. Definitely pay them a visit if you get the chance, you’re in for a real treat. Not what you would expect. (Top tip, it’s definitely worth booking a table at the minute due to limited capacity and popularity)
