Visiting football fan. Made very welcome. Great beer and atmosphere. Plus we had the absolute pleasure of being there when Paul the Poet performed and educated us.
Lovely spot, pretty much the best bar in Bradford for craft beer and we love Keith forever and always, the guy genuinely loves this place and puts everything into it, if you're coming through definitely stop by
It was such a shame when The Sparrow closed. As it was mostly responsible for the revival of North Parade. Thankfully there's still a place (possibly better) to find really friendly staff and a superb ale selection on offer, In a really eclectic space. I haven't sampled the charcuterie selection or record store yet. But it looks amazing. And no, this isn't a fake review. It really is that good😊
Great little bar. Great range of beers, loved Desperately Seeking Dopamine and the 12% smoked chilli stout was interesting. Friendly staff, great decor and the added bonus of a vinyl shop upstairs.
Just purchased two records online . Great price, really well packaged and very quick delivery . Will be recommending you to all!!! I wish I lived nearer as you have the perfect set up, Guiness & vinyl 👌
