A surprisingly good ale house hidden behind shops. Access is down a tiny alleyway off Crown Street or through a yard off Cheapside. Once inside you find a fair-sized pub with a series of opened-out rooms round a central bar with an old-fashioned (rather than historic) feel. It is also difficult not to like a pub that is playing Atomic Rooster! Most importantly there is a good range of ales (supported by a vast collection of pump clips) - on this visit two from Millstone, a Little Critters and a Phoenix, with a couple of Greene King to make up the numbers. Nicely basic (in a good way) and definitely a serious drinkers pub.

Hidden down a small alleyway and hemmed-in from all sides, there's a decent sized pub here that's rather tidy. It’s an island bar with a number of discrete, comfortable, carpeted and burgundy banquette seating areas off, and a separate pool room. Greene King owned, so surprised to see eight ales on the go with a pretty good line-up of mainly micro and small regional beers. I went for the Settle Jericho Blonde which was fair (NBSS 2.5) but lager is clearly the seller here and I did wonder whether they’re over-stocking the cask. Friendly barman and a good bit of bar chat going on, the place clearly has a regular clientele. Well-worth a look as part of an extended crawl.

This was our 7th pub of 10 on our Thursday afternoon Halifax pub crawl and must say i was very impressed with every aspect of the pub. There were 8 cask beers all functioning and on 4 of these had labels attached giving more details of the beer. Without doubt worth a visit if you are in the area.
