Operator: Independent
21-23 Union Street, Halifax: Town Centre, HX1 1PR (View on Google Map)

Located close to Halifax Piece Hall and Westgate Arcade, in central Halifax, this modern and tastefully decorated bar opened in September 2019. The name is derived from a large grizzly bear which escaped from Halifax Zoo. The classy room is split level and incorporates comfortable seating with the bar being located on a higher level. Five beers are provided on handpull, and usually includes a dark beer. There are seven keg lines and locally sourced/made bar food is available. The bar holds occasional beer festivals and Tap Takeovers.

The pub might stay open later if there is an event at the nearby Piece Hall.

Historic Interest

The name comes from the time when Halifax had a zoo, from which a bear escaped and meandered around Siddal before finally being caught in woods in Copley.
