Blue Scrumpy left this review about Meandering Bear

Named after a bear that escaped from a local zoo, this is a modern bar with a reasonably sized drinking area with large windows to the front and with the bar on a raised area to the rear of the room.

Beers are listed on a board to the left-hand side of the bar. On cask, there was Darkland Indie Wildfire & Auld MacGowan, Wishbone Blonde, Hophurst 2 Rounds of 6 Before Breakfast & Thornbridge Wye. The cider was Lilley's Tropical, whilst craft beers were Vault City Cloudy Lemonade, RedWillow Nelson, New Invention Whispers & Thornbridge Lukas.

Another decent Halifax bar that was quite busy on our Saturday afternoon visit.

Another good modern beer bar offering five cask beers and seven, I think, craft keg,I went with the same beer as Tris below, Black Edge NZP4 and also found it decent. I would have no problem looking in again.

Opened in September 2019, the name taken from the event when a bear (!) escaped from the former Halifax Zoo and well described below; it’s also a sister bar to the similarly virtuous Grayston Unity.
My Blackedge NZP4, £2.50 half and nice though pricey.
A good place for those who like modern bars rather than pubs.
