This Pub is Closed Long Term

This pub, one of Halifax's independently owned freeholds, reopened in December 2014 after being closed for several months. A new bar area has been sympathetically incorporated into this Grade II listed town centre pub, which is actually an 18th century inn with an Edwardian frontage of 1904. The original tiles in the entrance porch are notable, as are the stairs inside. The original Terrazzo floor tiles have been uncovered in the central area. To the right of the bar, and easily missed, is a separate room fronting onto the street, which has superb leaded windows and a largely intact Edwardian interior. To the rear is the original tap room whose doorway has been extended to allow open access to the central bar area and has modest seating. The room to the left of the bar has a comfy lounge area with sofa seating. Four real ales are currently available, with a potential for six in due course. Czech lagers are available on keg.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Ancient inn, remodelled in 1904 to designs by W.H.D.Horsfall, and now Halifax’s only example of a substantially-surviving Edwardian interior. Four rooms with elaborate ceilings and much of their original fitted seating lead off a central drinking lobby that features an ornate staircase. The layout has been partly opened-out and a modern stage raised above seating in one of the back rooms, but the former dining room at front-right is intact, with oak-panelling and good leaded windows depicting sporting scenes. Statutorily listed in 1995 following a successful application by CAMRA.
