Back in Black 4!
- posted in General
Large selection of teas, soft drinks & wine too.
The Victorian Craft Beer Café opened in 2014, bringing continental style drinking to Halifax, West Yorkshire. Situated next to the Victoria Theatre and just a few minutes walk from the Piece Hall in the centre of Halifax, it is a temple to beer. We stock beer from the best and most progressive breweries in the UK. It is a unique looking bar, more in character with Manchester, Leeds or London. The range of beers keeps improving and it is proud to stock ales from breweries such as Squawk, Black Iris, Black Jack, Anspach & Hobday, Anarchy, Vocation, Thornbridge & Track amongst others. It has a large selection of Belgian beers, some famous some a little more obscure. The single malt Whisky selection is the best in the area, too.
On 23 August 2019 we opened a second site, just a couple of minutes walk from the Victorian Craft Beer Café. KØBENHAVN has 24 beers on tap and 6 handpulled ales. It is situated in the Westgate Arcade and has a beer garden under the glass roof. There is also a function room upstairs. Here’s the Images on Instagram
We’re proud to be part of Halifax’s regeneration, and we are members of the Halifax Business Improvement District. We are sandwiched between the The Piece Hall, Square Chapel Theatres, Victoria Theatre & Halifax Playhouse. For those travelling by rail we are 10 minutes from Bradford or Hebden Bridge. For those staying the night, there are several hotels such as Premier Inn, White Swan, Imperial Crown & Wool Merchant Hotel nearby.
Halifax featured in a couple of national newspapers recently. GUARDIAN: Is Halifax the Shoreditch of the north? TELEGRAPH: Welcome to Halifax, the Shoreditch of the North.

At the beginning of July we will be hosting yet another of our Belgian beer events. Our taps will be adorned with everything from Wits to Quads, Flemish Reds to Tripels. A large selection of 330ml bottles and 750ml bottles for those who like to share.
As usual entry will be entirely free. Look forward to seeing you all there
We’re hugely excited to announce that we’re hosting a tap take over from two excellent York based breweries. You’ll also have a chance to meet the brewers and find out more about the 14 beers they’ll each be bringing!
That’s right, 28 beers in total! 5 cask and 9 keg beers from both breweries for you to get stuck in to!
As well as that, we’ll be a receiving a ‘Highly Commended’ award from Halifax and Calderdale CAMRA for the 2019 Pub of the Year competition. That will be around 7pm.
Hope to see you there!
Our first Vegan kitchen takeover. Expect exciting dishes along with your delicious beer/coffee.
2PM until late
We’ve gained recognition from the Orval Brewery as part of their ambassadeur program. Who knew selling beer would be this great?
It’s the time of year for our annual celebration of the darker side of beer. If you’re a fan of dark ales, then this is the event for you; and if black beers intimidate you, there’ll definitely be something to change your mind.
Back in Black 3 promises to be the biggest yet, with 10 cask and now 18 keg lines full of the dark and mysterious!
Thanks, right back at you! twitter.com/GraystonThe/st…
