With time for one pub for a post-match drink, we headed to the Slubbers Arms in the Hillhouse area of the town. This is very much a locals' pub, with a mature clientele. But, despite being away fans, we were welcomed. The main bar is cosy and the smaller snug similarly so, albeit much colder. The ale selection was Timothy Taylor Landlord & Boltmaker, Slater's 1 Hop, Stockport Jester, 3 Piers Mild & Fell Motueka Chinook. I opted for the mild, which was in good form. Recommended if in this part of town.

This has to be the best pub name ever ! A good walk from the station but well worth it and it was our last port of call before the football - in fact we liked it so much we called in again after the game (which we won 1-0) Taylors Best was excellent and they still use to old name - not the daft new Boltmaker!!! There was a good selection including a mild and the pub was busy before the match but we did not have to wait long to get served by the very friendly and cheery staff We were almost first in after the game so had more time to choose our beers but we stuck with Taylors as it was so good Single wedge shaped room with a snug at the back Very pleasant feel to it and a good atmosphere where we didn't feel out of place. Head out to The Slubbers and then you can get to The Sportsman on the way back into town. There are buses that pass by but the walk was not that difficult

Visited this pub for the 1st time last night and was impressed - it's unspoilt, the fire was blazing, it was quite busy and the licensees were really friendly.There were several real ales avilable including one at just £1.60!

What on earth has gone wrong? 10pm Saturday - six people in, plus us two.
I�ve always thought The Slubbers to be good but over-rated and more so since Taylors lost their way, but this was a depressing experience.
Let�s start with the good � two different pints (not Taylor�s) were excellent quality.
The bad. The place stank of bad drains. It was cold, and I don�t feel the cold. Barmaid was clearly in training and the gaffer was wrong side of the bar, where he stayed even when nine people arrived together. He got off his arse to sweep up a broken glass.
Someone complained, so it took two staff to break some wood up for the fire, which lasted about five minutes.
What a shame. This pub�s in a roughish part of Huddersfield but is full of character and has been a gold mine in the past. Maybe they rely on it being rammed before and after Town games.
Not rated it.

Former Timothy Taylors pub, now independant. The beer range and prices have improved recently and quality is as good as ever. Lovely, traditional corner pub.
|
A street corner local which is owned by Timothy Taylors of Keighley, so expect the Taylor's range plus one guest beer. A new landlord took up the reins, just before Christmas 2008, and has smartened the place up a little and introduced a lunchtime menu which is proving popular. The Taylors Golden Best is particularly recommended. Some words of caution to first time visitors, though. The pub is close to Huddersfield Town's ground and is rammed with supporters whenever Town are at home, so check the fixture lists. Also, the red light district is nearby, so be careful if walking from town late on an evening. And, finally, the new landlord has significantly upped the prices - expect to pay �2.50+ a pint in an area where �2.20 - �2.30 is standard.

what can i say about this pub its fantastic the beer is excellant probablt the best pint of lanlord bitter ive had will definetly be visiting this pub again
|
Timothy Taylors tied house good pint of Landlord. Its hard to believe this pub is in the middle of Fartown.
|
Was once the hang out af the local pimps and prossis now been cleaned up and is a fine ale house just watch yourself round teh local area - not the best part of Huddersfield.
|
One of the best pubs in Huddersfield if you like a traditional back street boozer. No juke box, no fruit machine, no TV, if you want them go to a "trendy" bar. If you like a selection of well kept real ales, friendly staff and locals and simple honest bar meals you won't go wrong here. The decor is full of nick nacks handed down through time and a real fire makes the place even cosier, although with 30 people in here it will feel crowded. It is about a 10/15 minute walk from the centre of town and the only pub worth a visit in the area but when they are this good you don't need to go anywhere else.

great idiosyncratic pub, carrying on where the previous landlord, dave green left off. beers are always in top nick, the locals are friendly. well worth the short trip out from huddersfield town centre.
|
Cosy as it's little bigger than your front room but well worth the trip for the quality of the Tim Taylor's Landlord.
|
Now owned by Taylor's (though sporting 1 rotating guest beer) this pub continues to be a little gem in an otherwise fairly dodgy area (Fartown). Beer quality is always excellent as is the selection of very reasonably priced week day lunchtime snacks. Trade seems to be suffering from the corporate witch hunt on lunctime drinking! Please raise your glasses in support! (Best avoided on Huddersfield Town match days - gets overwhelmed).
|
Absolutly top notch little pub just out of the centre of Huddersfield. Very friendly atmosphere and excellent beers, especially bitters. Several Tim Taylors beers available, including landlord, yum.
