First time visiting and my expectations were exceeded. This is a tap room done very well. I took advantage of the pre-booking facility to book a table (very easy to do, and table clearly labelled on arrival). Staff were friendly, never had to wait too long to be served, despite it being busy. Nice buzz about the place, and the beer was excellent, with a good range. As a bit of beer traditionalist I was pleased to see a bitter available on cask, the Ruddy Bitter is a very balanced session ale. I also dipped my toe in the water of the keg range, and the Dark Arts Honeycomb is a sensory delight. Each sip brings a new flavour, aroma, or sensation. At 6% you may not drink this all day, but you definitely have to try at least a pint if you like stout with a twist. I will definitely visit again the next time I’m visiting Huddersfield. 10 minute walk from the train station and just over 15 minute walk to the football ground (the reason for my visit) make this central enough to be accessible but enough off the beaten track to attract people who are looking for a nice venue, friendly atmosphere, and quality beer. Magic Rock Tap Huddersfield is now on my list of highly recommended venues.

Excellent beer, staff and atmosphere. Also love the alternating street food vendors on a weekend. Great events held here regularly too.

Always make time to visit the Magic when in the area and never fails to disappoint! Fave remains clown juice which had made a return for now. You can also buy 1/3rd's of a pint so you can sample a good range of what on offer. Well worth a visit if you like craft beer and are in the area. Will visit again for sure. Update 31/12/23 - not sure if it's due to various ownerships over the years, but the product range doesn't excite like it used to. Only visit every few months and every time it just seems to be the core range that I can buy in my local supermarket. Went today and didn't leave with any cans, will visit again but expectations are much lower these days.

Great beer but unhappy to see a dog on a table. Also not able to refill the growler we bought from here so had to buy cans.

Can't speak highly enough about this place! Absolutely fantastic choice of beers, great quality, good value for money, also have a great array of food trucks. Great atmosphere and super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff. Personal favourites are Highwire Grapefruit and Saucery; delicious.

It's great. Be it a pre-match, post-work or random pint then this is the place for you. Great, broad selection of proper beer for all tastes. A good rotating line of occasional food as well. All served in a good atmosphere.
Great beer and a lovely warm welcome from the staff offering advice on drinks and even free samples... What's not to love!!
Jono Morgan
Great selection of their own beers , normally 10 keg and 4 cask offerings, rotating food trucks on the weekends outside serving food
