The Percy Shaw

You'll find The Percy Shaw tucked right on Broad Street in the heart of Halifax's town centre, the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar and know the staff by name. It's got that authentic pub feeling — the sort where you can nurse a pint and actually hear yourself think, or pitch up with mates for a proper night out without it turning into a scene. The food's straightforward and done well, and the drinks list knows what it's doing. Named after Halifax's most famous son (the inventor of cat's eyes), it's become exactly what the town centre needed: a no-nonsense boozer that takes its job seriously.
