Halifax pub back up for sale at auction
A Halifax town centre pub building which used to be home to a national chain is back up for sale.
What was Bierkeller Halifax has a guide price of £275,000 and is one of the lots listed for an online auction taking place on May 27.
The four-storey Fountain Street premises was home to the German-themed bar and party venue from 2022 until January 2024, when the owners announced it would be shut for a month for a refurbishment.
But by March 2024, the Halifax branch of the chain had been removed from the website of Bierkeller – which also has bars in Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham, Grantham and Saltaire – and Halifax Bierkeller’s Instagram page said the bar had permanently closed.
This the second time the building, on Fountain Street, has been up for auction.
The Courier reported in July last year how the building was listed as a lot for a sale taking place in September 2025 - then with a guide price of £495,000.
According to the building’s listing on property website Rightmove back then, the premises was “stripped out ahead of a planned refurbishment programme”.
The premises two roof terraces and two access points – from Fountain Street and Powell Street.
The building is listed for sale by an auction being organised by Auction House London. For more details, visit https://auctionhouselondon.co.uk/
