awful place, was stared at by the staff since we entered, most expensive pub out of 3 places and you can’t interact with anyone other than who you came with, never going again. It’s embarrassing to call this place a pub
5 stars for having a pub called "Gaping Goose" on "Slack Bottom Road".
Excellent pub with friendly staff
Lovely evening, fab DJ and good atmosphere. Just one thing dont have much choice of lager. Friendly people and great landlord. Will definitely return.
Good bar in central Bradford - has occasional live music and regular karaoke.
