Prices range from 75p a drink to more than £4 after midnight. Before 11pm/midnight club entry is usually discounted and even free with fliers.

Street Angels

In past years, Halifax had a bad reputation for Friday and Saturday nights, however in recent years this has improved significantly thanks to a greater Police presence and from the Halifax Street Angels.

The Halifax Street Angels aim to protect those who are drunk and vulnerable after a night out. They are often seen patrolling the streets of Halifax on Friday and Saturday nights between 9pm and 3am. With their help, violent crime has been reduced by 42% and is a model now being copied across the world. The Street Angels work from a café that is located across the road from the Acapulco nightclub, next to the YMCA. Fairtrade Cafe, 15 Crossley Street, Halifax, HX1 1UG.
