The Polished Knob in Calderdale

Great rock band, fantastic service and a lovely watering hole.

Food is delicious and exceptional value for money. Love the atmosphere and how it's been furnished. Staff fantastic. Can't wait to go back

Great music, cheap drinks, friendly atmosphere.

Our first time in the Knob, heard a lot about the Monday Club.. where else can you go to a gig in a pub on a Monday afternoon? ..and they have a band on EVERY Monday!! And the food ain't too bad either! Great venue, friendly staff and atmosphere.. love it, highly recommend a visit.. or two!! 🤣😂😎🤘

Fantastic Dog Friendly Pub, Terrific Atmosphere with the Retro Decor, Proper Background Music and Seating, Amazing Value Food and Really Delicious Large Portions. Staff are Really Friendly and Helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Todmorden, you won't be disappointed.

Great food at a ridiculously cheap price. Great staff and fantastic band.

Had the beef baguettes with chips and it was absolutely amazing. The whole building looks incredible and then there's outside ! The greenery is immaculate

Great place, we stopped for a quick 1 beer and ended up having 4 will visit again for a night out, 👍

Great atmosphere and friendly crowd

Nice place good music great atmosphere

Great pub to nip into by the market 👌. Always a good selection of real ales, and a large covered beer garden out the back. A plus point is they now do coffee's as well for the driver's in the party. Well worth a visit.

Sunday dinner really good and lots of it would highly recommend

Gimmick pub. Expensive beer. Same beers in Burnley around £1.50 a pint cheaper. Wasn't over impressed with the quality of the real ale I had.

Good selection of real ales and my kind of quirky

Stayed overnight last night - what an amazing place - fantastic hard working staff - the band were brilliant and Joanne made us so welcome we want to move there! We will definitely be back ❤️❤️

Casta spotted this pub as we left the market. Seven outdoor tables in front of the pub.. all busy as the August sun made an appearance. Clearly a live music venue with a stage for acts. Lovely central bar with a service area to the rear (shaded) beer garden. Casta spotted a new Rochdale brewery for me to tick off. Whitworth Valley. Had an excellent American Pale Ale. Food looks yummy, pies and giant Yorkshire puds. Blends original Burnley Masseys brewery facade with eclectic Castleford Tigers themed interior/music. Three pubs into Toddy and I love it.

Fun pub that is known for its live music. Music on throughout the week. Good selection of ales. Cocktail menu. Quirky and fun decor with loads of old school memorabilia and trinkets. Outside area. Cash only but has two cash machines opposite. Highly recommended for watching live music in a cool setting! 🍻 🎸 🎼 🎤 💵

A quirky vibe and a fair choice of beers.

Another great night out, thanks. Live music, atmosphere and staff were amazing. A big thank you to Brad the bar tender. Super duper lad and a definite asset to ur bar. See u all again

Visited for a chance pit stop and loved the decor and atmosphere. Didn't try the food as I've got dietary requirements but the gent at the bar was still pretty engaging when I asked about it despite not ordering. You HAVE to go in just for a pint and a look around

Brilliant place, fabulous food, portions and prices, lovely friendly staff , great outdoor seating area.

Great Monday Club the Get Back Beats Band were fantastic.

Proper Quirky! I would say it's an American Diner themed pub with simple pub fayre with the emphasis being on live music in the evenings. Really enjoyed my visit on a sunny afternoon with a pal for a drink and bite to eat .

Great roast beef and gravy baguette. Good atmosphere, great music, dog friendly. Quirky place.

Stayed over night and rooms were really a good standard and reasonably priced. Really good atmosphere inside with quirky deco, and situated in the heart of Todmorden on the main road so you can enjoy the world going by if you choose to sit outside with your drinks

A wonderful place to share with friends, listen to good music and why not a good dance.....I like that they constantly have live music. I will definitely return!

Friendly staff lovely atmosphere a good night out

We enjoyed ourselves, the only downside was that they didn't have my favourite cider even though the pump was there!!!!

Great quirky place with live bands

Had a drink here, cash only BTW, nice colourful pub ,can't say much else as early afternoon

Saturday 28th January 2023 I visited this pub great choice of real ales on hand pump great staff great atmosphere and local environment This pub is a very open-minded atmosphere, Sunday 12th May 2024 I came into this great good beer guide pub in search of the usual grand choice of real ales, and I was not disappointed There were 4 interesting hand pumped ales on, and the interior may be loud coloured, but it soon grows on you . The bar staff friendly please beware on payment it is cash only so have a note or 2 on you to pay for the great real ale it sells There are 3 essential pubs to visit for real ale in Todmorden, and this is 1 I'll let people reading this review the other 2🤔🤔

Good live band playing, great staff serving fine cask ales. All in all a top night.

Fantastic looking pub with unique decor to compliment it's live music activities and as a bonus walls full of Cas Tigers rugby league memorabilia care of the previous landlady. 👍🐯🏉 Good selection of real ales to boot. Would like to visit on a music time. 🎸🎤🍻

Very quirky place to drop by and enjoy, one of a kind. So much character and friendly. Must try it won't be disappointed.

Nice pub recently changed hands, unique decor pub. Previous owner cash only. New owner card or cash, which is great, friendly. It's worth a visit. Seating outside, Market over the road on a sat.

Great prices for drinks in a quirky, unique pub. Will be back, thanks!

Very welcoming to ex-servicemen, great beer and good service.

Loved it!..had a great night there..the bands are great..Will be back soon

What a fab pub!! Friendly,great live bands,lively atmosphere and fun/quirky decor.Comfy seating and room to boogie if that's your thing.If we lived in Tod we would definitely be regulars,will just have to visit more often!!Recommend to visitors and locals for a fun /friendly night out 🙂

Had a brilliant time Monday afternoon .Good live band good friendly staff can't review food didn't have any will definitely be back

Monday Club, band on stage, music good, beer enjoyable, great atmosphere for Monday afternoon, look forward to next visit, but slightly cooler weather next time !

Great place, nice beers great for gigs

Great afternoon Monday club great live music

Great night, lovely atmosphere with good music. Band playing 80's classics.👍

This is a pub doing everything it can to be noticed. From the name to the condom like logo on the door to the hugely overstyled interior. It does look like it should be in Benidorm not Tod. But in its own weird way all this does make for a pleasant place. There's a few tables outside if you don't appreciate the interior. There's a fair old selection of beers so you'll probably find something you'll like there and the prices are pretty muchly the same as other pubs. Staff aren't over friendly with strangers but you get fast efficient service. Word of warning, cash only, there's a sign by the door, (plenty people miss it!). But there's cash machines just over the road.

Quirky pub. Central location near the railway station. Cash only. Fortunately cash machines across the road. Live music. Good selection of alcoholic beverages. Also has rooms above the pub if you want to stop over £60 per night

Fantastic atmosphere and live music but cash only which is no good for some.

Not much atmosphere when we went in, rounds really expensive so moved on.

Brilliant friendly pub with music

Brilliant pub. Decor is fab, real ale is spot on and they have great bands on. I highly recommend it

Just what you would expect from a real pub 🖖

Quirky design, you either love it or hate it. But the beer is great so, who cares.

its was different ie it looked very confused, looked like it was decorated by someone on acid, beer was poor, thought everyone had green legs until i realised it the amount of green lights under the tables.........never got the castleford connection as its miles away just the oddest place unless you like mutton in animal print

Plenty to look at in this pub! Oh and they have Space Invaders!! 😇

Lovely themed bar that have bottles of Asti to my wifes delight.

Absolutely great atmosphere, lively pub

Great little venue, visited on Xmas Eve for some cheap drinks and live music. Comfortable seats and really, really, really dedicated glass collectors. Was cash only at the time, but assuming this isn't a regular occurrence.

Excellent Real Ales Situated near Todmorden bus station, the Polished Knob offers an excellent range of Real Ales Sky & BT Sports and live bands. Excellent pub well worth a visit

A great pub. Super friendly, I loved the decor. Staff were super friendly too. A lot of fun

A very quirky place if you like a retro environment Something very different and worth a look in

Relaxing quirky and lovely place for a pint

Best pub in the world.... Love the place xxxxxxxxxx

Always a good night and good bands

Quite a nice quirky place, beers are good, bar staff were welcoming & decor is certainly different. Live music judging by the stage area, although not during our visit unfortunately. Definitely recommend popping in, good atmosphere.

Friendly town center pub, with good music, and beer, always a good crowd in that appreciate live music

Great, good music, good atmosphere, but cash only.

Friendly amazing owner. Obviously a bit phallic....

Such a fun place! Live music every night I think. Lovely staff, great selection of drinks and great prices. Spotlessly clean

Friendly staff. Very reasonable prices.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good choice of beer,will call again,👍👍

Great night out good beer good music

always friendly in here and at the heart of Todmorden...

Rather less of the namesakes on display since my last visit. Not that I'm bothered about that kind of thing lol, I'm there for the ale trail. Probably should change the name and decide what their identity actually is now?

Great Quirky pub in the centre of Todmorden with a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit..cash only at time of visit but not an issue.Would return.

Cracking pub, good band playing great atmosphere recommend it.

Excellent night. Staff and punters were top notch..

Love this pub but need darker guest beers during summer. They're not fashion items. Hope they do food soon too.

Had a great night here, live music, great selection of drinks and cheap ! Super friendly staff and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back when in Tod

What a great bar - good drinks, reasonably priced, good atmosphere and live music

Great live music, quirky and thoroughly individual pub. Fair prices. Friendly staff, good vibe!

A Comfy american diner style seating. Good choice of real ales.

Great pub for live music at weekends

Nice bar friendly staff and funky decor

Fab pub, great staff, good band 5 stars

Great place , Chris is amazing but some blonde girl (jess Birdsall) smashed all the martini glasses 🤬

Called in for a quick half...excellent ales and friendly staff,definitely call back when we've a bit more time ++

My fella is impressed with this place. Due to being with my severely disabled daughter, we had to leave as the entertainment started to get home. We will be back for sure

Great bar with a great atmosphere

Lovely evening, tho only had a pint in passing. I had a question about a band that would b playing. The staff were helpful, pleasant and I felt welcomed.

Friendly pub and a great live music venue

Its was lovely I go for 5 stars

Home made food if wonderful and great value With regular live music at the weekends something for everyone. 🍺🍷🎶🎤🎸

Great atmosphere with a live band and we were at a party, the buffet was soooo delicious.

Friendly people, amazing looking pub, comfortable bed, it does the job for a short visit which is what we had

Really nice place and friendly staff

Nice public house however stayed overnight didn't get any sleep due to notice from drunken people outside club opposite till early in the morning really wouldn't want to stay there again
