    Lovely little bar in the heart of Brighouse . Nice relaxed atmosphere , good music , friendly clientele and staff , and most of all a reyt good pint .. The sort of bar you just pop in for a couple of drinks , and could stop there all day .

    Nice little place well worth a visit. Has a handy upstairs section too - so don't forgot to go up if the downstairs is looking a bit rammed!

    This is the bar that makes Brighouse for me. I was initially told about it by the staff from the Millers who were excited that a local Man and his family were due to open a craft ale bar and bottle shop. I'm a pretty fussy drinker and tend to drink stouts and porters but prefer them to be on the 5 to 12 % Abv. I was even more interested when I found out the owner was a beer nerd and loved his dark ales! Having been coming to the bar now for 4 months I can genuinely say I'm massively impressed with the range of beers both light and dark, Strong and normal abv that have come through the door from multiple breweries. What's refreshing is that the bar listen to what you have to say and will openly share likes and dislikes of particular beers and listen to recommendations of beers tried elsewhere and actually put them on if they can be acquired. All the staff are very pleasant and real characters and would bend over backwards to help you out. Fridays is fantastic for live music and the overall experience on weekend is top notch. Sundays are cool and relaxing with an eclectic crowd of genuinely nice folk. Dog friendly, Beer Friendly , People friendly uber cool bar! 👍🍺🐕

    Popped in here for the beer a couple of weeks ago through the week. Fairly quiet given it’s not a weekend but a nice bar with plenty of space to sit upstairs too. Plus if you’re lucky you might see a guy wearing this shirt.

    Great bar with plenty of seating and an amazing choice of drinks. I will be coming back soon enough. Dog friendly too. Lady behind the bar was very friendly too.

    Really nice local bar, good beer and friendly service. Nice to go somewhere you can have a drink and chat. None of the idiots!!

  • 5/5 Barry B. 1 year ago on Google
    Range of ales and kegs to suit your tastes. Nice cosy environment. Brighouse is becoming quite the ale town with this place, ventures, millers, the market, and a few others just out. Update: you can now get pizza delivered from crust and crumb a couple of doors up. Food and beer! An already great pub made even greater! Ps. There's a quiz every weds and live music regularly!

    Great selection of real ales and lagers, spirits and you can pick up fabulous sourdough pizza at Crust and Crumb 77 and bring it back if you have the munchies. Support your local businesses or make a trip to Brighouse, lots on offer.

    Wow wow wow wow! Micropub heaven might even move here just for this micropub 👍🏿. Great beers, staff and locals. Don't steal their glasses ask, they will sell them to you at a reasonable price if they have enough winner 🥇👍🏿

    Great atmosphere last night with Skinny Living on stage. People coming together to hear a great band and to drink a great selection of craft beers, can't beet it

  • 4/5 David G. 11 months ago on Google
    Good beer. Good service. Not a fan of the seating, so I wouldn't stay beyond 2 pints but overall a good choice for a quick pint

    What a great place, some acoustic treatment may help as it gets extremely noisy, but we love it.

  • 5/5 Jake I. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beers on tap and cans in the fridge. I really should go more often. It's a great little pub

    Me and my dad love it here. Big Dad Dom green always drinking there best cider and I'm very keen on the Belgian ones. Brighouse is on the map.

  • 3/5 Paul S. 8 months ago on Google
    A decent pub. I wasn't keen on their range of beers. All too floral in my opinion. The stout/porter was okay though.

  • 5/5 Tim O. 5 months ago on Google
    Great beers and atmosphere- love the place

    No foxes 🦊... But I'm happy to say there is PLENTY of craft. Craft ales that is! The first time I visited this happy establishment I was a bit overwhelmed by the selection of beers, ales and stouts - WHERE DOES ONE BEGIN!? Of course, I have become a pretty regular visitor now and I always have a great time meeting regulars and visitors all of whom share a passion for good beers and good conversations. Their selection of drinks is wonderful and broad, so you can be sure to find something that you love and they regularly have live music on with a good range of performers in a lovely, intimate atmosphere. I love the fact that you can just swing by and purchase a can or bottle to take out to enjoy elsewhere, should you wish... The modern rustic decor matches the style and atmosphere with plenty of seating and a spacious upstairs... Visiting is a MUST for locals and visitors alike! Enjoy x
