The Grove

Amazing selection of craft and cask ales. Very relaxed atmosphere and the staff are friendly. Beer garden even! My favourite pub in Huddersfield.

Who would have thought that heaven is a backstreet pub in Huddersfield. I cannot think of a pub with a finer selection of real ales.

If your into your beer then the grove in huddersfield is a must go. They have something like 18 different hand pulls and 7 to 8 keg beers on at any given time. It is a haunt of many beer geeks and bloggers from Yorkshire and I can not stress enough of it awesomeness. This place had beers from all over the world when I was in there it had beers from America, United Kingdom, Belguim, Norway, France, Austrailia. Austria, Canada, and many many more. Had something like 100 different types of whisky and all the goodness in between. It is a train journey for us Leeds folk but if it not worth the 30 minute journeys to get get blathered and live to remember it the next day I dont know what is.
I have been hearing about this place during my time in Leeds and finally got a chance to go check it out with my parents and a couple of beery geeks and bloogers from Leeds Bradford Macclesfield and well all over West Yorkshire we had ourselves a grand olé time trying and sampling someof the finest beers that the world had to offer.
It was a great night out and the bar staff knows there stuff as well if your undecided they can most certianly point you in the right direction and get your night strated right. They even do ¹⁄₃ pints for the stronger beers they have on draft which is a great thing if you like me tends to look for the higher ABV’s is the beery world. #
Stop reading and get yourself on a train and get on down there dont tell anyone else about it its our little sercet.

A fine traditional pub with approximately 20 very well kept ales. Enthusiastic well trained staff always happy to do their best to make your evening enjoyable. Only one criticism, the benches in the beer garden at the rear of the pub are well in need of a sand down & varnish because your clothes get dirty when you sit on them.

l live in Toronto, Canada but was born in Huddersfield on Fitzwilliam Street many years ago. My uncle Tom was a regular at the Grove Inn in the 1970’s right up until he died.
Whenever l am in Huddersfield l always make a point of dropping into the Grove for a pint or ten and wonderful memories.
This to me is what a British pub is all about… Great Beer, Great Staff and a Great Amosphere. To all those who diss this pub, they probably diss getting up in the morning and even going to bed at night… Enough said!

I wish I could give it more stars! Definitely the best pub I’ve ever encountered, me and my house mates come here all the time just to have a good chat over a good pint, bar staff are excellent, keep it up guys.

We tried this pub on the strength of its Good Beer Guide recommendation after my daughter’s graduation. It is a real gem of a pub with an astonishing range of beers and ciders. There was live music on the Monday night when we visited. It was convivial and cosy — highly recommended.

Amazing choice of beers all in perfect condition. How do they do it? perhaps the cellar must be vast. Also superb range of whisky. If you want Lager they can pull out the stops with that as well! May be very packed on some evenings but otherwise quite roomy, we love it

Nice friendly quirky pub, interesting artwork on the walls, wide range of beers and spirits from all over and not daftly expensive. You can have good time here just working your way through the beer menu…
Found it friendly and welcoming unlike some reviews, will def be going back — worth a trip to make your own mind up.

The Grove has a very extensive range of beers both cask and bottle, which sounds like heaven. So, why have I scored low? 2 reasons. The first being that there are too many cask beers which means sub standard condition for many of them. Another reviewer said it’s like a permanent beer festival. It is, and since when did they have beer in tip top condition? Second point, I found the barmaid to be surly and rude, fair enough it was busy, but a bit of politeness wouldn’t have gone amiss!

One of the best real ale pubs around. The pub itself is fairly basic, with stone floors and old fashioned settles. The beer though is fantastic, the range must be one of the most extensive around, with a good choice of continental beers and those from local micro-​breweries. As several have mentioned there are many wierd and wonderful bar snacks, but be careful, some should not be attempted on a belly full of alcohol!

If you like real ale this place takes some beating. They recently had some american beer imported and suggested I have a half as opposed to a pint as it was expensive –I accepted and they brought me a three quarter full pint and charged me for a half –I’ll have another of those. Huge choice which chages all the time. Biggest (I believe) in Hudersfield range of bottles foriegn beers and large range of very unusual bar snacks –insects –chilli egge etc.
Improv musiv night on a Thursday. Only downside approximately a two minute walk from town centre but well worth it in my opinion.

Now I don’t especially like beer, so some may consider it strange that I am giving a real ale pub a good review!
However, the Grove’s beer is not like normal beer. There’s a huge selection of different flavours, I especially like the Floris apple beer, which unlike many fruit beers isn’t too strong. They also do some great spirits (my usual tipple of choice!) if you fancy a change from beer.
It’s nice & relaxed, though not a place to get too dressed up or you will get some strange looks as I once discovered!

If you like beer, this place is amazing. It’s basically a permanent beer festival. They have a great, extensive selection of real ales (on tap) from local breweries. But personally I prefer to pick from their menu of bottled beers from around the world. This menu is categorised by country and contains some really interesting choices, from smoked beer to chilli flavoured beer. Each bottle is supplied with it’s own branded glass (a nice touch).
Also, try their great range of snacks including varieties of jerky and biltong, and crickets!
Their range of drinks is not restricted to beer. Their is also a huge selection of spirits and more
