    If you like real ale and craft beer, this is the best place to enjoy it. Its family run and full of atmosphere and nice people. They have music every Friday night at 8pm and if that's not your scene there is an upstairs section with more tables you can use which is a bit quieter but at other times the noise level makes it easy to talk to each other. Highly recommended .

    Lovely little bar in the heart of Brighouse . Nice relaxed atmosphere , good music , friendly clientele and staff , and most of all a reyt good pint .. The sort of bar you just pop in for a couple of drinks , and could stop there all day .

    This is my regular go to watering hole in brighouse. As you can see from the photo, there's an excellent range of ales covering real to craft to lager. Owner always works hard to make sure there's a great range on and there's a fridge with interesting cans. I think they're working on a downstairs loo, but wheelchair access is a little challenging. There is often a seating area out front so sunny days may be an option. Toilets are upstairs for the moment, where there is a great seating area. Live music is a regular option (check their Facebook), and if you're in on a Wednesday, ask Luke about the pub quiz (he just loves to chat about it!) Landlord is happy for outside food as long as you're drinking his beer, and you can book the upstairs for parties and all that. The part I like most about the fox is its suitability for the zombie apocalypse. Shutters at the front with a good solid rear door, but that window upstairs provides a really excellent vantage point to watch out for the zombie hordes. Plus you've got some beer and snacks to keep you going.

    This is the bar that makes Brighouse for me. I was initially told about it by the staff from the Millers who were excited that a local Man and his family were due to open a craft ale bar and bottle shop. I'm a pretty fussy drinker and tend to drink stouts and porters but prefer them to be on the 5 to 12 % Abv. I was even more interested when I found out the owner was a beer nerd and loved his dark ales! Having been coming to the bar now for 4 months I can genuinely say I'm massively impressed with the range of beers both light and dark, Strong and normal abv that have come through the door from multiple breweries. What's refreshing is that the bar listen to what you have to say and will openly share likes and dislikes of particular beers and listen to recommendations of beers tried elsewhere and actually put them on if they can be acquired. All the staff are very pleasant and real characters and would bend over backwards to help you out. Fridays is fantastic for live music and the overall experience on weekend is top notch. Sundays are cool and relaxing with an eclectic crowd of genuinely nice folk. Dog friendly, Beer Friendly , People friendly uber cool bar! 👍🍺🐕
