Crackenedge Ln, Crackenedge, Dewsbury WF13 1RW

About This Pub

Ah, The Crackenedge – it's one of those pubs that just warms your cockles with its genuine, down-to-earth vibe. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's all about that friendly welcome and the kind of atmosphere where you can settle in for a good chat or get swept up in the fun of a DJ set or live music on a Sunday evening. The beer selection sounds spot on too, with folks raving about the likes of Caffreys and John Smith's, making it a go-to for anyone after a proper pint. On the downside, though, the operating hours are a tad confusing, which might put a dampener on spontaneous plans, and it's a shame there aren't any fresh reviews lately, as it could mean things have gone a bit quiet. Still, if you're in Dewsbury and fancy a traditional pub experience without the pretence, I'd say give it a try – it's got that heartwarming charm that makes you want to come back for more.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers, like Caffreys and John Smith's, which come highly recommended.
  • The atmosphere is spot on for a proper locals pub, with lively entertainment like DJ nights and live music that really gets the crowd going.
Cons
  • The operating hours seem a bit all over the place based on what's listed, which might leave you scratching your head when planning a visit.
  • There haven't been any recent reviews, so it could be quieter than expected or not as buzzing as it once was.
  • Their online presence is a bit lacking with website issues, making it trickier to get the lowdown before heading out.

I was looking for a pub to watch some sport in Dewsbury, after I found the Poachers and Woodman were closed down! I stumbled across the Crackenedge. What a great find, friendly landlord (who plays golf), good beer and entertaining DJ who reminded me of my times in Rooftop Gardens, Wakefield. It will become my local from now on.

If you're at a loose end on a Sunday evening I would really recommend a visit to The Crackenedge Pub. From around 6:30-10:30 pm there will be a top artist singing plenty of your favourite songs old & new. Most of these acts have been booked by the DJ legend Alan Kent, so you know they'll be top-notch. Great traditional, friendly pub 🍻

First time for us on Saturday night. Brilliant atmosphere, warm welcome and fantastic beer. Never had Caffreys before but I tried it and loved it. The hubby said the John Smiths was spot on too. Friendly pub, everyone made you feel welcome. Best night out in a long time, dancing, singing and enjoying life. Very clean and well looked after pub too.
