Our Story
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.
KØBENHAVN, HALIFAX
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
