A small, back-street local, 'the Volts' became a free house in 2013 when it was sold off by Timothy Taylor. Sometimes lively, and with an Irish feel, it is comfortably decorated; the walls are adorned with military memorabilia as befits the pub's name, much of it related to soldiers from Keighley, some of whom signed up to fight in the pub. In summer window boxes cover the front of the pub, which is tucked behind the much larger Cavendish. Access is from either Lawkholme Lane or the small cul-de-sac at the top of the canopied section of Cavendish Street. May stay open later than 11.
