Bar pub in Halifax

“Lovely old quirky, characterful pub, friendly staff, fine range of ales and outdoor garden area.”

“What a place, I’ve never been to an independent pub with such welcoming vibes. I couldn’t recommend this place more. Great selection of beers, wine and spirits. The staff are great and the owner seems to know what she’s doing!”

“Lovely little 'taproom' of a pub with Halifax Steam brews & decor inside. There's a small car park, and the pub itself is in a shipping container type add on to the brewery. The service is wonderful, kind, and child friendly. Prices & selection are decent & interesting. Would definitely return again, and our daughter loved the quirky fishtank bar. Thank you!”

“Wonderful portions, the paneer butter masala was divine! As though there was shreaded coconut - wow. The staff was a good time, I highly recommend!”

“Not had food so can't comment. Staff are friendly and approachable. There is a group we go to on a Friday morning 10-1 that is aimed at getting the community together and helping the vulnerable to socialise rather than be alone at home.”

“Great drinks at a very reasonable price. Fab atmosphere, there was a live band on when we visited and no entry fe which was a nice change. Lots of seating and lovely decor. Can't wait to visit again”

“Had a really nice time here and enjoyed some top quality food. The bartender Lincoln couldn't have done more for us if he tried. A lovely place with great food and a brilliant atmosphere, a must go to if you visit Halifax.”

“Thank you so much to Rhani and the staff at The Shant for making my son's 21st birthday celebrations a huge success. Liz, Chris & Ryan xxx”

“Beau has put up lovely decorations for Halloween, she’s lovely and done a great a job. In past she has showed lovely service and a great service! She’s fantastic!”

“Didn’t eat here but just wanna say it’s an amazing place!! Bar staff really friendly!! Allowed me and my mates to move tables and chairs to watch a football match together! Drinks slightly on the expensive side but Idc”

“Lovely food, good service, friendly staff, well worth a visit.”

“Great place to eat in Halifax. Very prompt and welcoming service. Food was wonderful especially enjoyed the rid stack. Special mention to Natasha and Stephen our servers, going above and beyond to make our visit so special.”

“Top floor is a nice vibe Jazz , Rock, Swing, and Kareoke at 1:00 chill atmosphere.”

“Came to Halifax for the day from a week's holiday in Hebden Bridge. Came for late lunch/early dinner and was pretty empty. A few of our party went for the 2 courses for £18 which was good value. We had the mozzarella sticks which are always a crowd pleaser. The beef tacos were really tasty with great crunch from the pomegranate seeds - a lot more filling than expected. The chicken fajitas were also full of flavour. Good pints of Sam Adams. We had a gluten free member and the staff were extremely accommodating (bringing the manager over to take their order specifically felt slightly too much but we understand why). Overall a really great meal, despite no tequila and it feeling like there was an earthquake every 5 mins (assuming the cinema was the culprit!).”

“A great pub , good beer , great service from the barman who also got up on stage to entertain us A good boozer to remind you what going out is all about”

“Always been a favourite of mine..food was a prepared buffet which was banging..service...haha..only received 2 of my 3 drinks ordered but this was quickly rectified...if you're visiting halifax add this place to your list of places to visit”

“Me and mates want there for the open night on friday 13 oct and it was a really good nightclub and we will been go there a again”

“Came in for breakfast, I had eggs and salmon on sourdough, husband had full English, both were beautiful, really tasty and perfect portions! Coffees also really lovely, very friendly staff wil definitely be coming back!!”

“An amazing restaurant in a beautiful setting. The Yorkshire Pudding was perfect. The staff are so attentive and helpful, plus is very reasonably priced! A must visit for everyone”

“Went to a music event on the covered beer garden. Excellent selection of beers and a great landlord. Love this place”

“Lovely pub with lots of seating areas including cozy nooks and bright tables by the windows. Lots of beer options on tap, it was hard to choose! The bitter and stout were delicious. During the weekend there were parking spots outside the pub on the street.”

“Lovely place to drop by for a drink, it's very retro with a lovely vintage feel. It's proper kitsch which is right up my street! Really friendly staff too, and a nice, chilled out atmosphere. We look forward to our next visit!”

“Very nice ..always friendly food fab”

“My favourite pub! Always a selection of good real ales, snacks and laughs. Dog friendly, people friendly.”

“Great local pub, however I'm no longer local. Went across at the weekend and it's lost none of its charm. A few bar staff on so easily served. The music was good provided by Steve along with a quiz, which if you wasn't doing the quiz you wouldn't have noticed as it wasn't imposing. The regulars were as friendly as ever. All in all a great visit, highly recommend. It isn't the Ritz, just a really good local pub.”

“Nice friendly pub with a great outside seating area.Staff were helpful and friendly and I'd especially like to mention a young barmaid called Elise who was on her fist night but you wouldn't know it.She couldn't do enough to make you feel welcome.”

“What a lovely quaint pub, great atmosphere and service. Defo visit again ♥️”

“1st time we've ever been here, and we wasn't disappointed. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Plenty of nice quirky shops and eateries. Spent a good few hours walking around. Will definitely be going again.”
