[ Morley • Est. 2025 ]

Straight talking. Straight poured.

Morley’s only brewery & taproom. Three rooms, proper real ale, and absolutely none of the nonsense.

Beer made next door.

We’re a working brewery first, the tank room is on the other side of the wall. Cask is the calling card, but we’ll happily lager you, stout you, and chocolate-orange you. Plus a proper range of wines, spirits and soft drinks for the non-beer crowd. Here’s a snapshot of what’s been on lately.

Three rooms.
One truth.

Pick your mood. Whether you’re after a long sociable session, a private do, or somewhere quiet to throw a few arrows. We’ve got the room.

The main event

The Tap Room

The heart of the building. A proper bar with a long line of cask and keg, a no-screens, no-shouting kind of room where the beer does the talking and the conversation finds its level.

  • Cask & keg 3 cask beers + rotating keg + Veltins always on
  • Atmosphere Loud enough to feel alive, quiet enough to talk
  • Dogs Water bowls and treats on the bar; well-behaved welcome
  • Kids Welcome with an adult until 8pm, any day we’re open
  • Vibe Locals, real-ale ticking, regulars-in-the-making
Visit the Tap Room

Your party, your way

The Side Room

A self-contained room next to the bar, perfect for birthdays, wakes, work do’s, beer launches, baby showers (yes, really), and anything in between.

  • Capacity Comfortable for 25-40, standing for more
  • Drinks Order at the main bar
  • Set-up Tables, chairs, decor: tell us what you need
  • Cost No room hire fee, just a minimum bar spend
Enquire about hire

Up the stairs & into the late shift

The Snug

Take a pint and head upstairs. The Snug is the cool, dimly-lit space where the night gets interesting, old leather, low lights, a proper dart board on the wall, and a soundtrack you actually want to hear.

  • Darts Tournament-grade board. League nights welcome
  • Capacity Cosy 12-20
  • Vibe Late-night, low-lit, low-stakes
  • Hire Available for small groups by arrangement
Book the Snug

[ 03 · What’s On ]

Quiz nights, food trucks,
games on the bar.

Things to do beyond the pint in your hand. Some fixtures, some roving, some always here. For dates of one-offs, the socials are where it’s posted.

  • Thu 8pm

    Quiz Night + Open the Box

    Free to enter, every Thursday from 8pm. Open the Box rolls over until someone wins it. Same night as Cask Club, so pints are £3.50.

  • ~Monthly

    Pints & Bites

    Roughly once a month a food truck parks up. The line-up changes; the queue does not. Dates land on socials a week or two ahead.

  • Occasional

    Music Gigs

    Acoustic sets and small live nights when the right act asks. Follow along for the calls.

  • Anytime

    Bar Games

    Cards, Connect 4, P is for Pizza, and a proper Ring the Bull (the ring-on-a-string-onto-a-hook job). Behind the bar. Just ask.

[ 04 · The Story ]

We brew the truth.
We pour it cold.
The rest is up to you.

Truth Hurts is a working brewery and taproom on South Parade in Morley. Three rooms, eleven lines, and beer made next door, not shipped in, not faked, not dressed up to be something it isn’t.

Outside Truth Hurts at dusk: the lit-up taproom with its sign over the door, people at tables out front and a food trailer serving alongside.
City Mills, South Parade. Food-truck night outside the taproom.

We’re for the people who know what they like in a glass and don’t need a sommelier to find it. Cask drinkers. Lager fans. The Friday-five crew. Locals who’d rather walk than catch a bus into town. New faces who’ve heard the rumours.

Karl & Lenny

[ 05 · The Crew ]

Run by the people
who actually fit
the beer lines.

In 2025, Karl & Lenny took the keys at Truth Hurts. They’re the team behind Bar Solutions UK , the people other breweries call when their cellars stop behaving and their dispense kit needs sorting.

That’s the difference. The beer comes out the way the brewer intended it because the lines are clean, the cellar is dialled in, and the keg comes on at the right temperature. No flat pints. No vinegar. No “I’ll bring you another one in a minute”.

Past projects under the Bar Solutions name include Northern Monk Brewco (sixteen-line keg bar), Iberica, Reasons To Be Cheerful and Leeds College of Music’s rooftop bar. Now they’re putting that knowledge into their own taproom.

Stocking Truth Hurts beer at your venue, or fitting out a new bar? That’s the same two lads, same phone numbers.
