The Royal Oak in Calderdale

Good range of beers reasonably priced, friendly staff

Great local pub, friendly with good range of beer 🍺

Very friendly staff, tasty looking pies in the warmer, and some fine ales!

Always enjoy my visits . First time I have had landlords dark . First class

Great punter, great place, unreal

Great pub! Proper fires like a country pub but in the town centre and amazing bar staff, always friendly and there's plenty of entertainment with dj's and karaoke on a weekend, also accept camra card for the real ale drinkers and have a far few on offer plus guest ales, they dont do food but a selection of warm pies/pastys are good on a winters day, they also have a pool table.

Great for karaoke 🎤 here , fun place , not had food there unfortunately, only been at night .

Excellent place with friendly staff

Great place with lots of character

Good little local pub good choice of ales staff polite and a good atmosphere

Have been coming here a few months now. The place exudes a homely atmosphere, managed by an eccentric Southerner ("an agent of the company he calls himself") and some lovely, always pleasant and helpful staff behind the bar. The manager, known as Damo to his friends, will often be found pacing the pool room like a tiger - where the Royal Oak is home to a strong pool league team - but he in fact looks after the flock of old and young players alike much like a pigeon looks after its newborns, with encouraging remarks like "are you alright?" The Royal Oak is doing extensive renovations upstairs for a private members club (a nominal monthly fee will give you access and discounted drinks) which will see brand new pool tables and big screen tvs installed and some magnificent views of town. The upstairs part of the pub in fact shows off just how old the pub is, with beautiful old stained glass and timber beams which originate from HMS Newcastle. Karaoke on Fridays from 8pm whilst most Saturdays are given over to a DJ. Friendly locals and good prices with a good selections of gins and real ales. Transport by luxury bus is regularly arranged for away games of the towns football club. The pub is easily accessible from the train station on foot and a stones throw from Shay Stadium.

It's one of my favourite places .

Excellent place with friendly staff

Great choice of ales and excellent service

Lovely staff very accommodating

Real ale aplenty not busy when we were in but go in again.

Literally one of the most disgusting pibs i’ve ever been to

Not a Wetherspoons lover but went in to keep a friend happy. Beer was poor

The member of staff who served me was nice, polite, and attentive but when I mentioned where I was from a seeming regular who was polite to me beforehand started looking me up, and down, and then stopped speaking to me. Still stayed with me that memory as it was so strange 😂

Superb Great bar staff Great ales Love it

This pub in halifax i visited on saturday 19th February 2022 This pub not only a good real ale pub but also one of Halfax propper local old fashioned pubs This pub if want to drink good real ales in a propper pub you must drink in please Saturday 8th July 2023 We again visited the superb locals ale house This pub served really great beers on hand pump as always Friendly old-fashioned locals pub which is a must to visit when in Halifax Great pubs always stay the same

Music very loud, even pub is near empty

Chocker with rugby fans but the staff worked really hard.

Great bar staff 👏 go In have a go👍

Still a lovely pub lovely staff can be a bit cold at times temparature wise but on whole good pub

Cracking pub, Great staff, Nice ales and great pool table!. Always busy on match days and very welcoming to away supporters

Cracking pint of Guinness and then I realised they served Titanic Plum Porter Beautiful pint 🍻🍻👍🏻👍🏻

What a brilliant place, from the outside look to the old fashioned interior. Open fires a fine selection of beers at good prices. Harps back to the days when pubs were pubs. Brilliant staff, a warm and comfortable place to sit with friends and talk.

Quiet for Tuesday but due to work I had a late night out with my son

Love this place, we warmly call it the Harry Potter pub. Husbands first experience of doing karaoke too. Always lovely staff and somewhere we visit everything we are in halifax.

Great place to start and end the night, near to railway station.

What I particularly liked about this fine establishment was every town had somewhere like this up until a few years ago. Now finding one is a rare treat. Proper community pub. Beer was spot on as well. Loved it. Can I take it back to Ruislip?

Great few pints of plum porter! Great atmosphere! Loads of pub sports available!

Love Tom and Georgia behind the bar! Will definitely visit again!!

Great pub. Usually go in after the football at The Shay. Very traditional pub with a good array of drinks at very reasonable prices. Got a TV screen up as well and it is very cosy inside. Staff are always polite. On a bit of a odd note, the men's toilets have got proper old school urinals. You rarely see them these days. I actually like the fact they still exist. Old school!

Good service, moderate range of ales.

I dare not. I still dare not. Still once was a damn good pub. Beer undrinkable.

Went to watch an act called Brendan Mcmahon....excellent night

Cracking pub, wouldn't serve away fans if they were singing though 😂

Now this building has its own amazing features plus it’s a very warm pub but from the outside it just screams history and the old days . Inside absolutely how a pub should be just spacious also not a bad pint and good bar staff

Great place. Staff are wonderful, will definitely be back

Always visit when in Halifax, good beer at fair prices. Would be 5 stars if Camra discount.

Top lads of pool table, great selection of beers available on tap.

Lovely old building with character, Timothy Taylors Landlord spot on at a good price.

Called in for a pint , lovely beer and staff very polite. Worth a beer or two

Good pub with a good selection of real ales.

What a wonderful gem of a traditional pub we stumbled across after going to a gig at Piece Hall. Traditional old pub, very welcoming, great to chat with the locals. Awesome ale, try the signature brew called The Royal Oak, so tasty and was only £2.65 a pint, after spending a month down South that was music to the wallet ❤️

Now back to being named the royal oak. Friendly staff, great service and a good selection of drinks.

Great little boozer, nipped in before attending a concert for a few drinks bar was busy but good service and DJ setting up . Returned to it after the concert DJ in full swing dedications taken and Great ska /punk music played with punters getting up dancing. Good atmosphere and easy going people out to have a good night. Variety of beers, wines and spirits plus pool table available. Would visit again

Decent pub with a friendly landlord.

A nice old pub with decent range of real ale. Nice staff and good atmosphere.

Lively pub, staff were very friendly. Proper old school boozer 👍👍

Serves a nice selection of hand pulled beer

Went in on a Tuesday teatime. Quiet. Plenty of seats. Very reasonable prices. I had a Pale ale which I wasn't keen on but it was my choice. Mates had bitter which was fine. Can't comment anything about food. Bar staff friendly and served quickly.

Good beer Good service, what more can you ask for.

Blast from the past, and decor to match Cheerful staff and a mixed bag of punters. The beer was good!

Friendly pub in historic building
