Quinno _ left this review about Shears Inn
Out of the way pub which, as noted below, is located down a cobbled winding road that passes round the back of an impressive mill complex. Slightly mimsy dining refit inside but nice enough, discrete drinking areas with some U-shaped fabric banquettes by the windows. Outside drinking area overlooking Hebble Brook which in retrospect I should have made a beeline for. Six cask, probably three too many given the location. 3x Tim Taylor, 2x Cooper Hill and a Milestone. My Cooper Blonde was serviceable but felt a bit aged (NBSS 2). Amusement provided via the fishwives recounting the latest scraps and gossip from the HX postcode area. Unlikely I’d make a point of schlepping out this far again but worth checking out of you’re new to the town. 6.5

inside is, as Mr Boots described, a rather bland foody pub serving a couple of local ales. That is the least interesting aspect of the pub. The real selling point is the benches next to the extremely tranquil gushing waters of Hebble Brook which makes you feel a long way from the centre of Halifax, as opposed to half a mile. I was very much at peace with the world here and never felt like venturing back inside with my Elland Blonde, even once the rain started pouring! the kids play area has murals of Super Mario and Spongebob, in case you’re into that kind of thing.

Old Boots left this review about Shears Inn
I won't add much to Roger's review although the interior is a bit of a surprise considering the outside and even when you're going down a few steps to the entrance, as well as the deep wooded valley it which it sits and brooding mill buildings looming above. Inside is decorated and set out as a modern mid range dining pub. There are some low beams, exposed stone pillars and a nice double sided stone fireplace. Otherwise a foody smell and that carpet detract a bit from your drinking pleasure. There are six pumps on the counter to one side, pride of place for three Taylors beers and along the bar three pulls for guests, Wainwright and Old Mill Bitter on this occasion but the Old Mill certainly wasn't GBG standard. The kegs are mid to high range. More a diners than a drinkers pub and I couldn't help wondering what had been lost and how long it will remain in the GBG given the competition up the hill at the Cross Keys.
