Hole in the Wall, Hebden Bridgeback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Closed now. Run down by Punch Taverns and bought by someone with equal charisma, showing no respect to the 200 yrs as a tavern or indeed the people of Hebden.
A big loss to Hedbens Funky town status

Has a very Neslons feeling with no handpupms and Serving Little Valley Ale in the bottle . Tables look like Nelsons with candles on table

It has partially reopened as a pop up pub - but still on the market
|
Now shut down, boarded up and for sale.

Gone have the indpendant ales (just Tetleys)
Gone have the local bands
Gone has the dancing replaced by a pool table
Gone has the nice staff and the party atmosphere
Gone have the people
Very sad

Former Vaux pub by the bridge in the town centre that is still badged as such, this is now a freehouse with a decidedly bohemian slant.
It retains a good deal of interior features, with fine tiled walls and a degree of separation kept between the original rooms- by looking at the tiled lobby you can easily see that the pub once had a classic West Riding layout. Two rooms emanate from this lobby, but the doorways have been considerably widened so that the rooms aren't as separate as they once were.
From the lobby there is a staircase which is also resplendent in green tiling.
There are a number of leaflets and flyers for events and the pub seems quite music-focused, with loud music emanating from the computer at the bar which kept being changed rather too often on my visit.
The furnishings are a mixture of traditional and modern, with stool seating as well as sofas and armchairs in which to 'lounge'.
Beer-wise, there were 4 beers all from local microbreweries, of which I tried the Saltaire Blonde- a very nice pint.
This is a modern style pub with traditional features rather than a traditional boozer, , and as such won't appeal to everybosy, however it's reasonably strong in all departments so in my book is worth a visit.

This is a quirky pub with strange decor and a great beer garden. Music at weekends. Good selection of beers, friendly bar staff. Great location.
