About The Market Tavern
The Market Tavern is a single-room micro pub on Ship St in Brighouse, serving cask ales on hand pull next to the canal. Dogs are welcome and regularly in the room, so owners can bring them along.

The pub has been recently refitted with new decor, and it has comfy seating. Entry is walk-in.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come mainly for the cask ales, praising a selection of hand pulled beer that several call well kept, alongside keg and bottled options. A porter earns a specific mention as nice, and one reviewer adds roughly ten gins and a selection of other spirits. Close behind is the welcome, described as friendly, with a couple running the pub, knowledgeable staff who get to know regulars on first name terms, and comfy seating in a cosy, chilled room. Several mention the recent refit and new decor, and one calls the place clean. The main caveat comes from one reviewer, who likens the small room to a front room where everyone hears each conversation and joins in, so it is not the spot for a quiet chat between two friends. The same reviewer found the porter at the top end of the price scale and would only have the odd pint rather than a session. Dogs are repeatedly made welcome, and one reviewer suggests popping in after a canal walk.

“Ok real ale pub in centre of Brighouse. Room a bit like your front room where everyone hears your conversation and joins in so if you want a quiet chat just you and a mate it's not the place for you. £4.20 for a nice porter was top end of the price scale so unfortunately wouldn't be having a session more like the odd pint”
