The Three Pigeons Ale House in Calderdale

Been coming to Halifax for many years and always thought I should pop in there. Well now I have and I was not disappointed. Great beer, cracking atmosphere. Will not leave it as long before my next visit.

Friendly atmosphere, very good selection of well priced beers can't go wrong.

Lovely 1930's listed building with a good selection of beers

Fantastic old character pub with a multi room layout. Excellent choice of Ossett Brewery beers, a friendly service, great value and really good pork pies.

It just shows. It's not hard. Great ales and ciders at decent prices. Very reasonably priced pies and pasties and scotch eggs. Lovely art-deco interior. Best pub in Halifax and one of the best in the West Riding

Excellent real ale pub with a good selection of well kept ales

real ale gem. please visit. you won't be disappointed

Top Ossett Brewery real ale pub. Excellent landlord and staff...Close to the home the mighty FC Halifax Town.

Nice old worldy pub, warm welcome

Lovely pub in traditional style with several small rooms. Friendly staff, good range of beers and perk pies.

Nice enough pub, only three customers in so not exactly busy and unfortunately an Ossett Brewery house, don't like their beers. On the plus side the beers were on very good form so 5 stars to the cellar man, good job.

Anyone who's not been here before. You need to go it's quality

Called in on my way to The Shay, An old style pub with a great choice of hand pulled ale . Well worth a visit.

Amazing interior. Strange toilet

The best pub in Halifax by a country mile. 9real ales, all the usual fizzy stuff, a cider on hand pull, nearest pub to The Shay, welcomes away fans (even Cheaterfield ones)

Never had a bad pint here. Feels like a good old traditional boozer that is very well kept. Lots of ale choice and plenty of snacks including more deli style stuff not just crisps and peanuts. You can tell the people who run it take pride in it.

Wow! What lovely interiors👍 This is an amazing pub, possibly among my uk favourites. Good ales and good service. I’d like to return when the fireplaces are lit.

Beautiful pub with well conditioned ales. Need I say more.

Excellent pub near the station. Really interesting decor and great Ossett beer. Some nice bar snacks too. Well worth a diversion from the town centre

Superb place, the choice of beers was great and in tip top condition

Great selection of pies and beers in this historic pub with an interesting layout. Several lovely rooms and some outside space.

Great place to go for a relaxing drink. Staff's brilliant good service atmosphere great lovely surroundings

Saturday 8th July 2023 We visited this great Halifax real ale pub near Halifax Town fc This proper locals old fashioned Edwardian real ale coaching House is an essential visit for all real ale drinkers coming to Halifax to drink a proper pint of real ale A pub with many unspoilt rooms I would easily give this pub 6 stars Sunday 26th May 2024 This great pub near the shay is a fantastic old-fashioned 3 roomed Osset Brewery real ale house This friendly local pub had a lot of hand pumped Osset Brewery beers on today the bar staff were really up on their game, and the real ale I had was in fine fettle well done all involved

Beer was nice enough but some right mutant clientele

Beautiful art-deco features & great atmosphere. A very well run pub, looking forward to revisiting soon

Just a small, local pub with a local pub feel. Friendly owner and bar staff and great pork pies!!

Avoid on match day if you're an away fan with more than 50 other fans travelling. Tiny bar, few staff and no pre-poured lagers. Nightmare 'away' pub when York City took over 1,000 midweek, a day after the game was postponed on a bank holiday when we were expecting to take 1,500!

An absolute superb pub. A perfect example of how pubs used to be before brewers destroyed many pubs. Multi roomed pub with excellent well kept beers. Best pub in Halifax.

Great pub, never changes, unlike the great selection of real ales, a real gem. One not to be misssed by historic pub lovers😀

Great beer, and wonderful surroundings. Why did art deco ever fall out of fashion? It’s beautiful!

Excellent ale House, owned by ossett brewery, good selection of ossett casks and guest ales. Unspoilt traditional pub just outside the town centre. Liked it. 👍

Beautiful pub, wonderful beer! Still a fantastic pub, but they really need to get to grips with their dog friendly policy. This afternoon a couple brought in 2 dogs, clearly as a socialising experiment, and 1 was unhinged! Yes, s/he is a rescue dog....good on you, but please, don't ever do that again

Can’t find a better ale pub in the area. Faultless.

Very nice beers and service, lovely pub

Fantastic pub steeped in history, with each room surveying different decor. Great range of ales and pies served by friendly and professional staff.

Lovely public house, lovely friendly staff, nice customer's, nice conversation 😀.

A wonderfully traditional real ale pub, cosy nooks and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for a great ale and a chat with friends.

The Three pigeons Ale House is beautiful and they have some lovely Cider

Great lil boozer. Very friendly staff and great selection of drinks

love this pub but its full of beer sniffing stereotypes

Good beer pub but the toilets still a bit pongy

Superb art deco pub with central drinking lobby leading to five differing rooms, some with original doors. Now an Ossett Brewery pub showcasing there cask beers & guests

The pub just does pies as food, a good selection of flavoured pork fillings. Good beer, primarily Ossett with 1/2 guests. Well supported on matchdays, football/rugby.

The Three Pigeons is a great pub! It's divided into a number of cosy rooms, so convenient for having a natter with friends without lots of noise. The pub has a great selection of delicious real ales that are reasonably priced. Bar snacks include the most delicious pork pies and pasties! I think there were at least a half dozen different pies including hog roast, black pudding, apple and apple and stuffing. I got the one with black pudding, and it was so good I could have tried them all! I'll just have to return and work my way through the menu. The staff were very friendly and efficient on my recent visit. I'm looking forward to my next pint in The Three Pigeons!

Called in when going a match at the Shay Stadium. Only a 5 minute walk from the ground. The pub consists of 3 to 4 separate rooms. Run by Ossett Brewery, had a couple of pints of White Rat. Selection of pies for sale behind the bar. Worth a look in.

Great local pub! Such great interior, go take a look in all the cosy, comfy rooms!!👍🏼🍻

Like stepping back in time, a gorgeous piece of pub history

Nice quiet pub serving a great selection of real ales and pies for all tastes

No visit to Halifax is complete without calling in here and only 7 minutes from the 🚂 station as well. A beer drinker’s paradise if you like your 1930’s.

Great pub ,historically interesting,excellent quality beer at a good price.locals and landlord welcoming

This was a chilled pub to visit, set in a vintage layout! The seating and frames on wall best channel this, staff were friendly and the counter is well-presented. It is fantastic that they have original apple cider on draft and my pint was satisfying, tables were clean too!

Great pub, great beers and great barman. Love this place.

Good ale in an art deco interior with a friendly welcome, coo. Pork pies and pasties available

Beautiful old pub with great beer! Didn't have any food so can't comment.

Lovely old pub serving a great selection of ales....loads of nooks to sit in, nice and quiet places and busy place. What a pub should be👍

Traditional pub, which is good to see. But it was overwhelmed with customers, it was totally random if you got served.

Excellent place with friendly staff

Excellent pub with excellent staff. Such a good vibe in here no matter the time of day, or season! Our last time here we tried a new larger which we loved and had lovely chats with some regulars - you felt like you were part of the furniture it was great! Plus the pork pies are delicious too - as is the decor! Great pub :)

Excellent place with friendly staff

Excellent traditional pub near Halifax railway station

A great selection of craft beers. Ossett brewery

University reunion pub tour. All agreed the cask ale range and quality was superb. This combined with the craic from locals, means a return visit is a definite.

Called here before Halifax v Featherstone Rovers. Very popular when a sporting event is on at The Shay. On street parking available, payable at times. Good quality ales from Ossett and afar. Ive visited many times and will again!

Great staff. Great beers. Friendly atmosphere. Great selection of pork pies. Ample parking. Ideally situated for the Piece Hall or The Shay. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic Trad pub,love the diff small rooms,great ale choice and pork pies so good.

Lovely Art Deco interior, great beer, pleasant staff and sociable customers. Excellent pub.

Great little boozer, fantastic selection of beers and the best pork pies for miles 😋

Pre-gig drinks, the chocolate orange stout was excellent!

Great pub. Excellent range of beers

Best pub in Halifax real ale and bar snacks

A well known drinking establishment A variety of refreshments and a welcoming service Picnic tables at the front of the pub to soak up this sunny weather, whilst drinking the ales and ciders! :)

This is a top-notch real ale drinkers' pub with loads of cask ales available. Those we tried on our recent visit were well-kept and perfectly presented. There are numerous small bars and overall the place seems to have a friendly and welcoming vibe. If I lived in Halifax I'd struggle to keep away from this pub.

Entrance hall with 4 rooms+ outside seating. 9 h/ pulls beer and staff good.

Fantastic Bar with amazing people running it, and such a friendly crowd inside all round great atmosphere. Superb drink choice

Very welcome on a hot day! Has an interesting history and a nice atmosphere.

Like a normal pub, but with sausage rolls and pork pies. Didn't try any but a few of our party did. There were no complaints.

My sort of pub, beer was excellent and the pies look amazing. I had a lemon cider, it tastes fantastic. Nice and flat. Could drink it all day. This pub is well worth a visit. Lovely little gem.. Found a free parking spot very close.

Nice pub but the toilets werent very clean but the pub it self was nice

Lovely quaint old pub. Really well preserved and good value for money. I like that the bar staff ask all customers if they are CAMRA members so they can get the CAMRA members discount

Well kept beer, very welcome break from the sun

Great little pub ..and the pork pies are delicious 👍

Friendly locals one of which a regular for 30years. This is a great art deco pub like being on board a vintage cruise ship , great fixtures and features ...superb choice of Cask ales ..one of my new all time favourite pubs highly recommend..

Good selection of real ales. Friendly pub. Friendly staff.

Nah! I'm keeping this beauty to myself 😉

A traditional real ale house with an art deco interior. Lots of beer selection, cozy and quiet. No music, sometime football/rugby fans in when matches are on, dog friendly!

Only 1 pigeon today and two of the ghosts were on holiday

Great pub in Halifax for pre match drinks before the football Great local beers on draught Not too expensive

Great pub with lots of character

1st visit and wont be the last. Great pub serving well looked after beers!

Great beer and wonderful place it has real character

Perfectly served and kept cask from Ossett and a few guest cask ales. Wonderfully preserved original 30's style decor. A real jem.

Lovely, quaint place. Quite dated but that gives it a lovely, friendly atmosphere.

Nice ber, good selection of real ales. Enjoy the company there.

Not a bad place - very old school pub. Decent prices

Loved it.. Great pub and friendly staff. Very comfortable with a lovely atmosphere...

Excellent pub , brilliant beer , lovely pork pies

I'd been told what to expect by others who'd previously visited. I hoped it would be good and it didn't disappoint. In fact it surpassed my wildest expectations. It was truly wonderful. I loved it. Get me back to Halifax ASAP.

Absolute beauty of a pub. Art Deco building with numerous small bars. A superb selection of ales, every one a winner, along with traditional pub fare - selection of pork pies, sausage rolls etc. A nostalgic step back in time and great value too.

Great place for real ale and a pie great atmosphere also.

As always superb ale and deservedly very busy but excellent swift service from very efficient bar staff.
