Will Larter left this review about Pump Room Micropub

A well-presented and well-run micropub. The beer barrels are stillaged in a glass fronted cabinet behind the bar, and are hauled into position using an electric winch. The bar counter seems to have been constructed from an old dresser, with cupboard doors, drawers and rows of hooks! There's comfortable room for about 20 people, with settles or pews at Britannia tables, and a sofa and arm chair near the window; there's an overflow seating area downstairs for another dozen. There's a bar downstairs too, which is only used for brewery takeovers. There was some soul music on the sound system at tolerable volume, and the owner was happy to talk, despite recovering from a busy Saturday night. My half of Great Heck Navigation IPA was spot on. Pricewise: cheaper than the Stod Fold, about the same as the Victorian Cafe and slightly dearer than Grayston Unity. I liked it here and would happily return.

A neat looking micropub with a, no doubt, reclaimed fireplace to the right. A couple of comfy chairs and three tables in the upstairs area. There's more seating downstairs, but I didn't visit as I had a seat on a barstool and didn't want to lose it. Friendly barman was up for a chat as it wasn't that busy on my Friday, late afternoon visit. My pint of Nomadic Tramp was in very good nick and there was plenty of choice across the 6 handpumps. I liked it in here and will be visiting again soon.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Pump Room II

A good sized Micro Pub with 6 cask and 5 craft keg. The pub was busy on our Wednesday night visit, all of which were blokes, apart from Mrs A and the barmaid. In spite of the barmaid being on her own running the bar, she still gave a friendly welcome and was patient when I was choosing a beer. The pub was comfortable and had a good atmosphere. I went for the Exit 33 Blonde, same colour hair as the barmaid. My only gripe was the price, £3.40 a pint, a tad too dear in my opinion for a micro.

Decent micropub with 6 hand pulls and 5 kegs in good order. Virtually opposite the bus station which was convenient for me. Would return if back in the area.

Named in tribute to the much loved pub now demolished, allegedly to provide a carpark entrance but currently yet another derelict site in central Halifax. This one is a single room micropub panelled with wood recycled from pallets down one side, otherwise it's traditionally furnished mainly in brown wood with a leather sofa and armchair in the front corner. The counter at the back stands in front of the standard micro pub glass cabinet with space for 12 casks and some cider boxes. The counter is made of a sideboard and other furniture off cuts, and is home to six pulls and five keg founts. Minimal decor of animal horns, clocks, a few pictures; some of the objects are reputed to have come from the old Pump Room. The beer is well kept as is expected in a micropub.
