Always appreciate a pub that opens before midday all week (apart from Sunday) serving a wide choice of well kept cask ales. Reasonable prices including CAMRA discount makes this a welcome entry in the Good Beer Guide.

Out and about in Halifax with Madge. We made a bee line for this Greene King pub that features in the 2025 CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Easy to miss as the pub is hidden down a narrow alley. Only sell one or two of their own real ales, the other six or seven being guest ales. Heavy focus on Yorkshire breweries on our visit. Had a pint of Brew York 3.9% bitter. Madge a lager. Super traditional pub interior, lots of dark paneling. Rooms wrap around the central bar. Separate pool room. Lots of TV'S. Rear outdoor beer patio a little bleak. Cask Marque pub. Live music on Saturday nights.

Visited this place after seeing Korn, and OMG! It was amazing, so much ambience and good tunes, loved it!
There was a massive party going on outside the pub, with a DJ playing music and people dancing.
I did not get to see that much of the inside of this pub as it was great fun outside, but we loved the atmosphere here.
