Great pub ,good beer , good service great atmosphere

Great pub, good pint and chatty staff. Prices are half bad either. Sports on request

Still the pub I remember from 40 years ago but better if that makes sense

Great rock disco on a Saturday night and great choice of beers for the drinkers

Great little gem of a pub very old school pub feel wich is great. Great selection of drinks and music and has the georgefest each year wich is great atmosphere.

Walked in looking for somewhere to grab some food and a few drinks, waited at the bar. got ignored so we left.

Very aggressive manager, likes to shout in elderly women's faces about stuff he has no business being in, Plenty of people around at the time saw what he was like, getting in her face and going round to her place of work and shouting there. Very unprofessional, will be making an official report.

Good Booze and good music, good atmosphere.

Went for rock gig bank holiday weekend no food on but service at the bar was good

Visited this place after seeing Korn, and OMG! It was amazing, so much ambience and good tunes, loved it!

Good service , good beer. Atmosphere ok... Clean. Would go again..

The Upper George is cunningly hidden down its own yard off Cheapside and is a surprising good ale house. Internally it is multiple spaces around the central bar area that you enter into including a separate “Raise your game” room housing a pool table. Traditional pub decor with flat screens in each section and the odd fruit machine dotted about. But a really good feature with this one was the spacious outside space to the front of the pub in the lane which was catching the midday sun and providing a very pleasant alfresco drinking space which made some of the southerners in our group think we were in Brighton, not Halifax. The bar supports two banks of four hand pumps and seven of these were in operation for our visits. It is a Greene Kings house but that was only evident by IPA and Old Golden Hen clips and the other five were dispensing three from Rudgate Brewery in the form of Viking Golden Ale, Astrid Summer Fruity ale and Valkyrie American Pale Ale and then Stancill Toms Mild and an excellent Bridgehouse Brewery Tequila Blonde. Really liked it here but then the sun did help enjoy the outside space.

First time here, went for the georgefest which was a free event with live music and bits to raise money for macmillan charity. There was a great atmosphere here all day and reasonably priced drinks.

The George are renowned for live music and for having the band's outside. I have been there many times and although they are not a big place they make the best with what they have. If you go to Halifax check it out if you can find it! Excellent for a great Yorkshire town!

George is a great place for some drinks and pool.

Love this place! Great atmosphere. Awesome staff. Brilliant love music venue.

Very olddie worldie with great music and good beers and lagers.

I was only there for three pints but enjoyed it. Didn't realise you had a games night on. Not my usual venture midweek. I'm normally a Saturday afternoon person, looking for a quiet pub to chill out in. Yours is ideal.

Great juke box, good atmosphere pub, good cask beer

A traditional pub in the centre of Halifax. Friendly bar staff. Clean toilets. Outside seating area. Sports on the television and Juke box. It's been going a long time so they are definitely doing something right.

Love this place could spend all day sampling the ales.

Very friendly staff, fantastic atmosphere. Great night out. 👍🏼

Quirky pub serving craft ales with additional downstairs venue host live acts.

not been in for years went in last night and really enjoyed -glad to say the layout hasnt changed at all -will deffo be going again.......went in again a week later and encountered the most miserable "barman" ever to wear shoe leather and to make it worse he hadn't a clue how to pour a pint and was competing with another barman to see who could do the least possible

Lively bar with music, prices not too bad. Definitely go back.

A clean pub with a good selection of beers

A Halifax institution! It's a standard pub, but with a lot of history. Add some live music into the mix and you've a cracking night out.

A pub that I can call my local, great staff, great friends, great service and banter. Poker on a Thursday night. I really should pop in more than once a week, but I love the Upper George.

Like going back in time a real traditional pub with a good selection of ales didn't eat there although it was a steak night

Great pub in halifax tucked away up cobbled Road to back of pub. Friendly bar staff and spot on beer. A proper boozer. We're not local ,South Leeds but every time we go to halifax we make a point of paying a call after shopping. Always Friendly locals.

Connor, best barman in Halifax. I'd like to send him a pint but I now live down south? Is there a way of me web ordering one for him?

Excellent bar staff great juke box played all my underground sixties favorites great choice of beers they even called me a taxi at last orders thank you Cheers

Always a great place to visit 😁

A great choice of real ales superb 👌

Great pub great staff and amazing atmosphere highly recommended.

Traditional Halifax rock pub with great music and friendly atmosphere

Terrific value on a Monday. 1.70 a pint . Nice friendly bar . We will certainly return. Shame we don't live closer .

Great value on a Monday. Decent beer. Friendly staff. Only problem is the leaky urinal pipes in the men's toilets.

Certain staff are only interested in serving young females, and ignores everyone else waiting

They don't do food, but looking for a good old fashioned pub with some rock music 🎶🎸 this is deffo the place for you

Friendly staff and customers with the added bonus of great music. Well worth a visit

Great hostelry. Good beer, good music and good banter. Do you need anything else!

Normally a good atmosphere with great music. Last came mid Tuesday afternoon so few in and little atmosphere. Bar staff were still great.

Saturday 3rd June 2023 We visited this great traditional real ale pub in Halifax A bit hidden away, ut real ale drinkers must find it Victorian inside drinking rooms 7 great real ales on hand pump with friendly staff local following there is also a fantastic sun trap beer garden to the pubs front

Well deservedly popular and comfortable traditional pub in Halifax Town centre, good range of real ales and friendly knowledgeable service

Good service and great atmosphere

Great little pub nice staff good beer

Fantastic pub. A proper rock music and ale House

Lovely interior, great range of cask ales, good prices. Go and enjoy.

YEY reunion tomorrow in the George. I hope Billy Idol and suzi quattro are still on upstairs at Clarence's!!! And stealers wheel. I have to add I am 66 and things may have changed ,😆. Still the best untamed pub in the world. Play gimme shelter and jack the volume up

There is just something about the place. It's always welcoming. Be great to see a band on

Lovely people and spot on atmosphere food too

Nice ambience, got enough space to sit inside and outside.

Retro back to the 80's with clientele that haven't moved since then 🤣🤣🤣

Great Pub good beer 🍺 prices less than average.

Always good here, great disco, greay beer at sensible prices and excellent service and staff

One of my old stomping grounds back in the day. The vibe never changes. Relaxed and friendly rock pub.

Lovely cider! Always liked this pub! outside area with picnic benchs too!

A good traditional boozer with great hosts.

Probably one of the last biker rock pubs in Huddersfield. Nice atmosphere

Delicious food and excellent service

Great pub, good atmosphere, usually have decent ales on but £1.50 for a game of pool!!!.

Not as good as it used to be when I was younger

Good town center pub. Well worth a visit

Good beer , good atmosphere & good staff Great pub

Great old place, always a welcome

Excellent night every time we visit special meniton to Lee who is always so friendly and accommodating

After a stressful day at the office I ended up in the Upper George, what an amazing stress reliever! The staff, the customers and the music all get a 10/10 from me! What an amazing family feeling, I have never felt more comfortable and safe in a pub than I did at the Upper George. Service with a smile is an absolute given and everyone is so lovely and helpful. I cannot think of a single negative thing to say about this pub. I am 1000000 percent going to make going a regular habbit both for the company of the people there whether its the staff or the other lovely customers and the outstanding low priced drink variety!

Really like this pub allways allways get friendly and helpfull staff plus most of the customers are nice as well but the toilets need a good clean with toilets seats

Excellent place with friendly staff

Friendly pub, well kept beer, great prices and friendly staff. And if you are CAMRA member, you get a discount.

Cool as always on a Saturday night, top Rock tunes from the resident DJ!

Awesome pup with Awesome music and an awesome selection of cask ales

Good pint of real ale and also good selection

It's a great traditional pub which I've been frequenting since my misspent youth. Good music, rock DJ Brownie at the weekend. The beer is good and the staff are great, friendly and quick to serve at the bar. A shout out to Chris, who is lovely and always has a smile.

Great pub and some great entertainment on with the live bands. Good choice of beers and efficient bar staff 👍

Friendly pub, good selection of real ale at good prices, even better with Camra discount. Well worth a visit if doing a tour of Halifax.

It was on Monday at Monday club prices £1.70 for strongbow smiths to name but 2.

Walked in and was greeted with a smile by Jordan and served me a brilliant pint of endeavour, cracking pint 🍺🎉

Fantastic place. Great atmosphere. Friendly team and always happy to help. 😀

Great pub, beers and courtyard area. Really good if you love rock music and they have free pool on Wednesday evenings 😊

Good rock bar in centre of Halifax with friendly staff... P.s rhiannon made me do it 🤣🤣

A fun and freindly little corner of halifax with a real tight nit sense of community with multiple clubs and activities such as the pool team,quiz and poker nights with a diverse range of staff such as chris who is always ready to help and at such Low prices whats not to love

I love the George but hate the umpteen noisy TVs it now has. It was always a pub with great music and conversation and now you can't hear yourself think for loud, competing sports programmes. Please make the George the great rock music pub it used to be!

Used to go in in the 60s. Now go in in the 2000s.

The upper George, probably theost well known pub in Halifax for rock fans - still got it's vibe and still worth a visit

Nice place with good quality real ales and outside seating.

Great pub , good rock music chilled outside area and good staff !!!!

Best place in my life. I was a French assistant in 1969. Still remember the girls. I returned several times. Fantastic people still live there and go to that pub!

Good traditional ales. Place never seems to have changed. Has real character.

Went for 1 drink with mates Went on day they have bands playing was great atmosphere good prices. Stayed alot longer then one drink.

Nothing changed over years, great beer👍

Appears to be more of man's pub but don't be put off by this. Everyone is so friendly and chatty. Quite a range of different beers available. Go see for yourself

As good as I remember from several years ago. Excellent staff and great beer.

Traditional town centre pub. Decent selection of draft beers and a few casks. Pool table, TV s showing sports, plenty of seating. One of the few remaining unchanged pubs in the town centre. Well worth a look.

Good Guinness, played pool, toilets could be better !!

Absolutely shocking and management is ridiculous, I think his name was Chris absoulty no people skills whatsoever. He really needs gone I will be writing to Green King themselfs. He should not be in charge all the bar staff were in agreement they don't want to work for him.

If you wanna have a few drinks and a game of pool but only have a tenner, this is the place for you.
