Brass

You'll find yourself on George Street where Brass sits unpretentiously among the city's growing food scene, and it's refreshingly unbothered about being cool. The vibe is genuinely relaxed—the kind of place where you can nurse a pint and actually hear your mates talk, but there's enough going on to keep things interesting. The food side of things feels like someone actually thought about what people want to eat when they're out, not what looks good on Instagram. It's the sort of pub that makes you realise Halifax is getting properly good at this.
