The Grayston Unity, Halifax

Unusual for a micro-pub in that the ceiling seems higher than the space is long or wide... Anyway, the original layout has been modified so that the side 'lounge' is now combined with the bar, with a single small table in the 'snug' back left. However, on a warm summer evening, most of the customers were sat in the late sunshine at tables across the street by the town hall. Four handpumps on the compact counter, with Mallinson's Simcoe (£3.70) and beers from Goose Eye, Blue Bee and Parkway.

Following lockdown there have been some structural changes, it now comprises just one room with a slight snug area at the back to the left of the counter. Thankfully the beer range is still interesting and the quality remains high. Visiting on a Sunday we enjoyed some excellent blues from a talented musician.

Like two or three other pubs in Halifax, this pub didn't look particularly inviting from the outside. On entering, it looked like a traditional local that had been here for years. The bar at the end of the narrow room led through to a hallway with a small quaintly furnished room to the left. The Elland Nettle Thrasher was on fine form.
