Dukes, Halifax

A craft bar on two floors located in a part of the Market building that is accessible outside market hours. The rear mounted counter has five pulls, one is at the far end and is for cider, 15 visible keg taps, but there’s a total of 21 beers & ciders on including a pin on the bar back which contained a 10.6% Stock Ale (£6 per half). There’s much more seating upstairs with a selection of bored games and the toilets, where you’ll find two unisex cubicles with a common washing vestibule. Downstairs has a plywood counter and benches, wirey stools and tables, and a fridge of cans and bottles. Blackboards behind the counter list the beers and if they’re vegetarian friendly or gluten free, no deferential is made between cask and keg. No cash is taken and it’s Good Beer Guide 2024 listed.

Nice indoor market and a little shop conversion run by beer lovers and fans of hard rock. I enjoyed a Rivington Bounced Right Back whilst people watching in the window. Decent selection of Belgian bottle in the fridge available for takeway.
