The Pub, known until recently as Hidden Hebden, is more than just a place to raise a glass—it’s a local legend, filled with stories and welcoming faces. Opened originally in 2015 as Calderdale’s first micropub, this independent venue swiftly became the heart of Bridge Gate’s vibrant courtyard community.
Paige, the present guardian of this unique spot, embodies everything brilliant about local pubs: warmth, knowledge, and a determination to make everyone feel at home. The new ownership from April 2023 kept the tradition alive while expanding the beer range and ensuring every visit offers something new to taste and discover.
What makes The Pub so engaging is its compact charm: flagstone floors, reclaimed wood décor, and a sun-trap courtyard that’s covered and heated in winter—a proper treat whether you’re after sunshine or a cosy corner! There’s no pesky piped music, just the sound of genuine conversation and laughter. Fancy a bite? You’re welcome to bring in food from the adjacent pizzeria, adding to a truly relaxed vibe.
Perhaps best of all, The Pub is an evolving showcase for a rotating range of real ales and craft beers, often hosting five on hand pumps from local and national brewers. One dark beer is always available. The venue has steadily earned a loyal crowd for its approach: simplicity, quality, and community at its heart.
In every sense, The Pub isn’t just another place to drink, but a living piece of Hebden Bridge—past, present, and future.
