Black Bull in Kirklees

Nice clean pub . Friendly staff and a good pint.

18months-2years ago it was worth going in for a bit of socialising, since then definitely less welcoming and seemingly always an incident thats not of my making takes place. I would usually buy a drink, get with a smile, last time the barmaid was huffing n puffing as if it was a chore, no manners either, bad day maybe, then later on after after couple of hours and many more pints n shorts drunk, i was made to feel unwelcome by a guy, who seemed to take umbrage with the football team i support, being sober i didnt let it bother me. Incident was an absolute shocker had gone in after work to watch football with a friend then a woman snatched the hat off my head, asking if she could wear it i told kindly no then she promptly punched me in the eye, whilst onlookers inc. Barstaff, 6men awaited my reaction, i gave them the one they didnt want, i sat back down, watched the last 10 mins of the match and left never to return. This was 4months ago, i haven't been in since. Just the same old fashioned, if ya face doesnt fit they dont want to know you, nobody makes conversation, if one was you'd get an abrupt answer, depending on his drunk the patron was.. Another Dewsbury pub gone back to its roots was lovely 3-4yrs ago, same old vibes from other dewsbury pubs. Abysmal.

They have just started serving food and it is excellent (9am till 6pm.... ) great breakfasts. For me the only downside is there are no cask ales.

I meet my mate's Regularly once a week. For three or 4 hours. Sometimes go in on other days always someone in I know.

As a semi regular customer, I recognise alot of faces, but being teetotal i can feel an atmosphere of people who want to start trouble or take liberties because I usually go in alone or with one or two others. Go in sober on a Saturday and want to enjoy the football and a redbull and you'll find yourself out of luck, if your face doesn't fit you won't be welcomed, barmaid doesn't say thanks, nor smile, first flag! subjected to mindless idiots who are drunk by 6pm and if you don't want to be bothered this is not the place for you, it's almost as if you're not part of the clique, you'll receive a frosty welcome. 18months ago the pub was very different, nobody bothered you, now the local crowd of drunkards inhabit the place, its a no-go not if you're interested in keeping your sanity.

Homely, cheap and friendly atmosphere - decent boozer without frills

Good beer real ale plus beers like John Smith's good atmosphere friendly staff disabled toilet TVs to watch sports.

Epic Saturday night watching rugby and drinking John Smiths. Awesome night out.

We had an absolutely fabulous night on Saturday celebrating my brother's 50th birthday. The host and her team went out of their way through out from prep(deco) to party finishing. Outstanding service and a beautiful venue for any function. Would definitely recommend and book again x 100%

Great little pub lovely decor friendly staff good choice of drinks 🍸 👌 cheers mi dears 🍻🍾🥂

Great times in this pub, by far the best pub in Dewsbury 🍺🙂

Nice enough place but not enough going on. It's always dead when I go in

Bar man fighter with me for defending my friend, wud never give this place as a place to enjoy yourself, this place is very judgemental and the bar staff on shift was absolutely terrible, needs training on how to be a worker coz his people skills are dreadful

Great pub, lovely Landlady, it's a night and day comparison since it was reopened, beautifully refurbished. Very warm and inviting, also has pool table and live sports.

It was great to go in on Saturday after literally years. Saw a good live band and the bar was really good. Friendly staff and good facilities..

Lovely new owner, I like it in here. it's a little more expensive than the other few pubs that are still left in Dewsbury but with that you don't get as many idiots in there so that s a positive, I can't give anywhere in Dewsbury 5* for the simple fact it's in Dewsbury which is now just a dump.

Marked improvement from last i went in x shame no food on only places in dewsbury are takeaways x

Lovely staff who catered for my mum brothers 80th birthday celebrations.. Landlady is very friendly and waitress was brilliant... Thanks guys...

Really nice pub,clean and moden and serves a good pint well worth a visit

Very nice pub clean and tidy with hard working friendly staff... i enjoyed my visit

Great pub Christine is the funniest barmaid

Best bar in dewsbury centre. Refurbished, several large TV screens showing sports. Would have given 5 stars if more than 1 bitter available

Didnt feel comfirtable in here..Drinks abit pricey too

Nice clean pub, covid related safety & distancing measures in place

Nice decor staff friendly n now with restrictions in place it's very safe

Clean and welcoming environment

Great pub, amazing kept real ale and Paul behind the bar was by great.

An asset to the town center, Ben, the manager and team professional, the place can only go from strength to strength

Love the pub lovely place to go have nice quet drink

Clean, modern, warm and a nice drinks list wines etc, worth a pop in a see for yourself, decent music from decades and genre's, I like it here

Done a great job refurbing the place. Really nice bar.

What a nice fresh look of a pub . I can remember this pub back in 80's and 90's , what a wonderful clean establiishment it is now. Nice beers , I will be back.

Tastefully decorated following its refurbishment and reopening. Upto 4 Cask ales available. Excellent meeting/function room available upstairs with its own bar.

Nice atmosphere. Balanced pool table real ale. My new home from home

The decor is brilliant, staff very friendly. Just needs a few more places in the town like this, and some good promoting and reviews and Dewsbury could see a revival.

Just reopened after major refit. Good Town Centre pub with 4 real ales.
