No, you are not in "another place" but i have posted there.
Halifax has several great drinking places so I have to concentrate on only a few.

The bus station is to the north of the centre and this is the area I'll start with; I think only I'll be arriving by bus but it contains a Wetherspoons and such are popular. It's not a long walk through the centre.

One “pub” I’ve been keeping on one side to try out on this visit is the Pump Room Micropub on Northgate with 6 pumps: it has been very well recommended to me for quality of ales.
Just to the north of the Pump Room is Percy Shaw, a Wetherspoons hostelry. Some of you like to eat in such… note you are going north and so it is off the direct route to the ground.
(Only open after the match: In Union Cross Yard is the small Cookies which should have a beer from Little Valley. It is just south of the Pump Room: I’m ambivalent about this place as I’ve had a good visit and a poor visit in the last couple of years).
Another place I may try is Grayston Unity on Wesley Court: I know little about this place but a friend has advised me of he enjoying the ale there. It’s another micropub.


From the railway station.

Dirty Dick’s Food & Ale Emporium is not far from the railway station: It’s on the top of Clare Road and serves 9 ales. Best route from the station is out of the station (always a good idea) and along Horton Street to the end. Left at Shoe International (or the Shakespeare) and the pub is obvious. Nine real ales and real cider.
By the way, as you walk along Horton St., there’s the Railway with Landlord and (often) Golden Pippin on the bar. A bit further, you can turn right up Union St. to the Westgate (Speckled Hen, Hobgoblin and Tetley’s).
My suggested meander off the route to Dirty Dick's is to continue on along Ward’s End and to the Victoria Theatre: behind it on Powell Street is The Victorian Craft Beer Café with up to 10 beers. It opens at 11 on Sundays and will have music in the evening.
I’ve occasionally visited a pub that takes you (for a short stroll) away from the ground: next to Halifax Minster is the Ring O’ Bells: 5 real ales and I’ve enjoyed the food there. I hope the (elder) Kray Twins are happy now I've mentioned it.
Travelling to the ground brings you to The Three Pigeons (close to the ground). Three Ossetts as well as guest ales make it a beer hunter’s target. It usually has good RL craic. Added to that is the Art Deco interior. Wonderful. But do I need to tell most of you of this pub as it is a popular destination every time we visit Halifax?
Beyond the ground, if you're coming up Huddersfield Road, you can divert onto Shaw Lane near the Spring Hill Sports Facility (sic) and back on yourself on Shaw lane to the Shears Inn which hasd a good selection of Taylor's when I last visited.
Across Hebble Brook, in this area is The Cross Keys which is worth a visit (6 ales). From the Shears, you can approach it along Whitgate Road which will test your driving and or navigation. But sadly both are taking you away from the stadium and station.
Cheers
