The Railway Hotel Halifax Restaurant in Calderdale

Toppling up dead drinks and selling as new is seriously bad thing to do , we walked out ,

First time I have been to Halifax in 20 years called into the Railway Hotel for a drink and stayed for a few.

Very nice ambience and staff,but cannot get away from the fact it is too expensive

Very nice cozy pub good friendly staff

Only a swift pint but seemed a decent gaff 👍🏻

I didn't stay , just a pint on the way to town, and expensive compared to other pubs close by,but clean and tidy..

We visited here before one of the concerts at the beautiful Piece Hall. It was just perfect. Lots of seating inside and out and the staff were both friendly and efficient.

Expensive drinks! Bought small lime and soda £2.50 as was driving !!! Bought one I piece hall which I expected to pay more it was 90 p at wine barrel. Needless to say I won’t be back in railway anytime soon.

A great friendly pub with good atmosphere and a good choice of beers. A lively place on a weekend and the play some brilliant music from the 70s & 80s.

Was working up in the area, and popped in for a pint as it looked lovely from the outside. It didn't disappoint, from the welcome, the friendly chats, and the lovely drinking area out back. Highly recommended.

We visited the railway Hotel for the reason of going back to my roots ,the staff were very attentive, the entertainment at night enjoyable, hope to visit again in the future, they make a delicious pinickalada.

Called in for a drink. Welcoming . Courtesy. Toilets clean

I've been here a few times now. The decor is nice, atmosphere is very welcoming and the guys are extremely friendly. Brilliant place and would recommend to all!

Return visit by friend & I and just as welcoming as we remembered. A proper Landlord who greets you when you enter. The pub has a very cosy friendly atmosphere. We both ordered the Mulled Wine (with a mini mince pie - nice touch!) and it didn't disappoint. It came in a large Christmassy mug on a saucer; was nice & hot; & had a cinnamon stick + citrus fruit in it. Would definitely recommend & will return when next in Halifax. Hopefully in warmer weather & sit in their pleasant beer garden.

Lovely little bar, just on one of the exits from the piece hall. Lovely friendly staff. Nice beer garden, lots of seating. Bonus when there is live music on in the hall, can sit and enjoy from Here

We visited Halifax after a while away and found this pub after looking visiting the Piece Hall( (which was brilliant) and realising there was no hand pulled beer. The decor is eccentric boudoir, the bar crew fast, efficient and with a good Yorkshire friendly welcome. There was a choice of 3 hand pulled beers and out Blonde pulled perfectly. The prices are about it standard definitely cheaper than Leeds or Manchester. We returned after a great dinner and the pub busy but not overcrowded. Friendly and no trouble. All 6 of us were seated easily and speedily served. It was a happy and welcoming atmosphere. Very much looking forward to coming back.

A lovely little pub however we won’t be returning as the drink prices are extortionate. Every little business needs to make a profit but 8.00 for a single gin and tonic is ridiculous. 16.00 for a pint of lager and a single gin and tonic. Disgraceful, especially in these current times. In all honesty after the football crew left the place lacked atmosphere. Prices need to be reviewed to get more people over the door.

We called in for a drink. The pub has a Victoriana feel to it, in the decor and furnishings. There is a large outdoor seating area and the interior is a series of small rooms. Little regard to the wearing of masks and praise for the fact that they will not be necessary soon; as if Covid has miraculously gone away. Pleasant place with pleasant people and a good range of drinks but needed to take out a mortgage, to pay for them. Talk about making up for lost time.

What a disgusting homophobic place.I first sat down with my dad and was listening to this couple sat opposite me speaking about a woman at the bar saying “he she IT”. I kept my mouth shut until they said something disgusting. I challenged this and said politely that it was homophobic what they was saying. I let everything go when they kept mentioning things loudly trying to get me to argue. It was when I went to the toilet and the husband of the woman told my gay dad that he was going to beat him up because he was telling the woman to shut up. This was also when the man behind the bar told ME to calm down (baring in mind this argument was done a half hour ago). I told him it was done and she was being homophobic and he said “no she’s a regular”. I challenged him asking does that mean she gets away with being homophobic and he basically said yes. THIS IS WHEN I DECIDED TO BOYCOTT THIS PUB. So burn in hell you HOMOPHOBIC awful people.

Rip off Covid 19 den! No social distancing and absolutely packed! People crammed on benches and chairs! We left! Extortionate drink prices £16 for a gin and a pint! Avoid

A highly recommended pub to visit. We attended on a Friday evening and although it was quiet at 8pm a couple of hours later the bar was buzzing. The decorations are very pleasant and the furnishings are comfortable. The clientele was mainly 30 to 50+ many being females on a night out. The atmosphere was excellent and felt very comfortable and safe. Highly commended for everyone.

What a lovely friendly drinking establishment this place is so friendly and inviting would definitely recommend a visit

Was out Saturday 21 Dec with friends. Finished my drink and reached over to table behind me and said do you mind if I put this empty one here? The man was very rude and a bit threatening he said no it's my table put it on the bar!!. I said I thought we were all friends in here to such he said no and dropped the glass on floor. So I put it on bar and said to him are you happy now. Because I couldn't believe how childish he was. At that point a member of staff came over to usher me away and told me to leave it!!. When I explained he said "I know he's a cock!!! So why not get him out instead of telling me to move. I wasn't wanting any bother just a good time and think this should have been handled better. I won't be back.

When I visited Halifax last year, this pub struck me as outstandingly friendly and sociable. So, back in town for 3 days recently, I made it my drinking spot. Again it was friendly, and in just 3 sessions it felt like my local. Andy, the owner, and his partners, twins Horizon and Sunshine, know how to ensure a good vibe in a pub. The brothers do most of the bar work and chat in a warm and kindly way with the customers that seems genuine and not perfunctory. The locals themselves are easygoing and friendly as well, so I always had people to chat with--gratifying when you're a stranger. I didn't find the same in other pubs in Halifax. The pub is rather dark but has a decor style somewhat of its own--with lots of hangings, and a velvety red theme. The bar is long enough that drinkers can lean on it without getting in the way. There's a full selection of beers and lagers on offer; you don't hang about waiting for your next to be poured, as the guys behind the bar are fully tuned in. The pub is superbly positioned close to the station, the Piece Hall, and the town centre. A smoking/outdoor area out the back looks across to the Piece Hall. The Railway Hotel is unique--slightly eccentric and quirky, but so am I, and for me it's now a home from home: I'll be propping up its bar again next time I'm in town. Much love to the RH!

The best traditional pub interior I have ever seen. Impeccably clean and loved. The beer was simply brilliant as well! They had TT Landlord on cask and it was perfectly pulled.

I was not impressed by the customer service as they were not nice and too expensive bear and also they wanted me to spend more money so I will never go there again

Lovely and cosy pub with friendly staff, such a charactic lovely place to enjoy. Will be resorting to come back at some point

Discovered this pub on a day visit to Halifax.It's definately the best pub in the town.Extremely friendly owners.The pub is immaculate and so are the toilets. Try their superb hot mulled wine.The music they play (not loud) is a mixture of 50's and 60's.

Lovely pub .great atmosphere and lovely staff ..only popped in for one and stumbled out 5 hours later ..😬😬

I visited the railway last night with friends I asked for a Gordon’s gin and tonic which I asked to be served in gin glass I was refused and told I had to order a more expensive gin to have it served in a gin glass, I was very confused as to why this was I can only think it is a way for them to make people spend more money, I will not return to this pub again as I found this to be very poor customer service and just plain rude

Always call here on our visit to Halifax. A very nice, small traditional pub, good choice of beers, no food and excellent outside seating area.

Great interior, plenty of seating outside if it's hot, great choice of drinks, safe and friendly atmosphere, good range of music

Popped in for a quick pint whilst walking around Halifax - didn't look much from the outside but we could hear lots of people inside so we went in.

Unimpressive exterior but delightful interior. Excellent food at good prices. Very pleasant and accomodating host. Prompt service; excellent light lunch.

Great music, beautifully decorated, lovely landlord Horizon. My family and I were made to feel really welcome. I especially like the bar at weekends when people are dancing to disco and soul.

Interesting decor; dark, intimate and yet friendly. You'll have to see for yourself! Clean with lovely staff and great food. Really near to Halifax Piece Hall.Motown and Northern Soul playing while we were there - really good!

Visited the railway and was greeted by the gentleman behind the bar with such enthusiasm and a big smile. The music was suited to the audience which was shown by the amount of people dancing and having a good time. I would defiantly recommend going there.

We enjoy the music and the atmosphere. Horizon and Sunshine are fabulous and very friendly-they keep some lovely gins including my favourite Gin Mare. Haven't been lately due to my being ill, as soon as I'm well enough we'll be back.!!

Visité el tren el sábado 11 de marzo de 2017 con un grupo de amigos que habían viajado de Lancashire en una despedida de soltero. Pedí 2 pintas y un G&T; pasaron más de veinte libras nota y conseguimos £1. 90 cambios. Cuando comentamos el barman quien presumo de ser el dueño me informó que él había dado un gin tonic y doble el costo fue de £3. 60 cada uno para la cerveza y 10 libras. 90 para el G&T;! ! ! ! . Así como no provocar una escena me cambiaron rápidamente el conjunto de mi gente a otro pub donde no nos timan. Por favor evita este lugar si estás visitando Halifax West Yorkshire

Great little pub right next to the piece hall,the food is fantastic and the guys who run it are really helpfull,a must if you want a nice place for a drink.

Nice decor Friendly staff Really nice atmosphere Entertainment and music Really nice beer garden/smoking shelter Convenient location

Me sentí relajado y seguro en un entorno cómodo y agradable. Habitaciones limpias y cómodas. Volveré

Saturday night always have a pint or two when in Halifax always go to railway beer dearer than your big chains but kept well disco Saturday's 60 70 80 music great

Decor a tad different but good. Bottles of wine not silly prices. Was great to go for a drink after a days shopping in Manchester. Good music and well worth visiting

A little gem. Fantastic selection of lagers, beers, spirits, cocktails and wine. Excellent music and quality staff! Well done!

comfortable place handy for the centre clean contemporary rooms recommended owners even ordered me a great takeaway.

The ambience and surroundings are to exquisite taste. The service is second to none and the staffs ultimate aim is to please the customers. The atmosphere is friendly and the propiritor ensures standards are excellently maintained. The ale is one of the best in the region with an extensive range of drinks, from perfect lager to ingenious cocktails! It suits everyone's taste. The weekends have discos which encounters hits from all the best of the decades. You will not be disappointed if wanting a great night out.

If you thought that the good old fashioned British pub was a thing of the past, you simply MUST visit this establishment. Total interior and exterior refurbishment makes this outstanding hostelry one of the finest in Yorkshire. At the time of writing my revue, the whole area surrounding The Railway Hotel is undergoing a £22 million regeneration project. Situated 150 metres from Halifax Railway station and bang next to the famous Piece Hall, The Railway Hotel will give you the warmest of welcomes.If you plan to stay in Halifax for a night, weekend or longer, look no further as there are several rooms in this hostelry that are very comfortable all with en suite facilities. It is privately owned which makes the difference. A selection of Real Ales are always on offer, as are a great selection of cocktails and Gins (Hendricks with cucumber is my favourite). The owners and staff cannot do enough for you when you stay here and I must have stayed here about 12 times in the last 18 months. Apart from being tastefully furnished inside, the outside boasts a superb recently decked area for those sunny afternoons and evenings.Give this place a try soon, you won't be disappointed!

We did not eat here but we love this pub (we have only drank in the bar). The décor is wonderful, it's spotlessly clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The ambiance is just the best, low level lighting, comfy bar stools, you can have a nice evening here, with no gambling machines or TV's. There is a small dance area with glitter ball. Between us we call it the "Voodoo Lounge"!

I had a lovely birthday party here 70s theme that the staff also dressed up in fancy dress. It was a really good night with great atmosphere. The music got everyone up dancing that was provided by Horizon . I would like to thank Horizon and Sunshine for making my birthday extra special and a really good night to remember.

I have had the pleasure of visiting this hotel many times and always get a very warm welcome from the proprietors ,the establishment is decorated to a very high standard with comfy seating through out .b and b with ensuite rooms are available and once again decorated and well furnished with hospitality tray toiletries and fresh towels ,a lovely breakfast which caters for all tastes and appetites weekends there is music to suit all tastes and ages , parties of all kinds are catered for with sumptuous buffets by Andrew ,not forgetting horizon and his twin brother sunshine who do a great disco and well stocked bar .call in and you will see for yourselves ,you will definatly return. Only five minutes from town centre and railway station

A little bit of heaven in Halifax town at last. What has it got, great atmosphere, great choice of drinks (lovely wine glasses), great staff, beautifully decorated, fab music on a Saturday night 60's, 70's and Motown, excellent provided by the very lovely Horizon. We booked a room which was very beautiful with lovely furniture and very tastefully decorated to a very high standard, the bed was very comfy with luxurious bedding. In the morning we had a super breakfast there was a choice of cereal, fruit, yoghurts and also a well presented cooked breakfast with toast with home made marmalade and scrumtious raspberry jam all made on the premises. Thank you to the lovely Andrew and Horizon for making our stay so enjoyable. See you all soon.

For me there are 3 important things to a good B and B. Number 1 and 2 being most important with number 3 being a bonus. 1 BED the bed at the Railway Hotel was hard and lumpy. Not comfy. Not a good sleep. 2 SHOWER the shower was a trickle of cold water. And I mean cold. I couldn't use it and ended up doing my hair in the sink. Yes I pulled the cord to turn it on but no hot water at all. 3 BREAKFAST was great if you like a fry up. Which I do. No cereal or fruit or yogurt but a bloody good fry up and toast. No decaf coffee but I brought my own. Would I stay again? NO

Last Thursday visited The Railway Hotel in Halifax West YorkshireHow Fantastic what a great meal the service, the food and Regional Pub of the year!In my view a must visit
