Black Bull, 11 Market Pl, Dewsbury WF13 1AE

About This Pub

Ah, the Black Bull – it's one of those places that really comes alive, isn't it? From what I've gathered chatting about it, it's got this infectious energy with a DJ playing cracking tunes that had people up on their feet, making for some memorable evenings. The food's a real highlight too; those breakfasts sound like a winner, served up fresh from 9am, and it's open seven days a week until 11pm, which is handy for a casual bite or a full-on night out. Plus, the decor's spot on after its refurb, and that function room upstairs is brilliant for parties or get-togethers – I can imagine it being perfect for a mate's birthday bash with the team bending over backwards to make it special. On the flip side, though, it's not all roses; a few have mentioned missing out on cask ales, which could be a letdown if you're after that authentic pub feel. And honestly, it might not be the best for a solo visit or if you're not in the mood for a rowdy crowd, as some have felt a bit of tension in the air. Overall, it's a solid choice for a good time in Dewsbury, especially if you're up for some fun with friends, but it's worth keeping in mind if you're after something more relaxed.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially with a DJ spinning tunes that get everyone up and dancing – perfect for a fun night out.
  • They've got some cracking food on offer, like those excellent breakfasts served from 9am, which make it a great spot for a hearty meal.
  • It's tastefully decorated and has a top-notch function room upstairs with its own bar, ideal for celebrations or meetings.
  • The service is outstanding; the team really goes the extra mile, as seen with that fabulous birthday party experience.
  • With a solid 4.3 rating from plenty of folks, it's clear this place knows how to keep things lively and welcoming for a good time.
Cons
  • One downside is the lack of cask ales, which might disappoint those who fancy a more traditional pint.
  • It can feel a bit edgy at times, particularly if you're popping in sober or on your own, with some mentioning an atmosphere that might lead to trouble.

They have just started serving food and it is excellent (9am till 6pm.... ) great breakfasts. For me the only downside is there are no cask ales.

As a semi regular customer, I recognise alot of faces, but being teetotal i can feel an atmosphere of people who want to start trouble or take liberties because I usually go in alone or with one or two others. Go in sober on a Saturday and want to enjoy the football and a redbull and you'll find yourself out of luck, if your face doesn't fit you won't be welcomed, barmaid doesn't say thanks, nor smile, first flag! subjected to mindless idiots who are drunk by 6pm and if you don't want to be bothered this is not the place for you, it's almost as if you're not part of the clique, you'll receive a frosty welcome. 18months ago the pub was very different, nobody bothered you, now the local crowd of drunkards inhabit the place, its a no-go not if you're interested in keeping your sanity.

We had an absolutely fabulous night on Saturday celebrating my brother's 50th birthday. The host and her team went out of their way through out from prep(deco) to party finishing. Outstanding service and a beautiful venue for any function. Would definitely recommend and book again x 100%
