About This Pub

Ah, Boar & Fable – it's one of those places that just warms you up as soon as you step inside. Drawing from the legend of a fierce boar in the woods where Bradford now stands, this bar really leans into its character with a fantastic range of continental and craft beers that'll have you exploring new favourites from Germany, Belgium, the US, and some brilliant local options too. The staff are absolute stars, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, which adds to that cosy, lively feel, especially with the occasional live music and a nicely kept space. On the flip side, while the beers steal the show, the cocktails seem to fall a bit short based on a few chats I've heard, and with doors not opening until the afternoon, it might not be ideal for those morning outings. All in all, it's a cracking spot to pop in with friends for a relaxed evening, and with such high praise from regulars, I'd say it's well worth giving it a go if you're in the area.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • They've got a brilliant selection of beers from all over the world, including classics from Germany and Belgium, plus some cracking local brews that really hit the spot.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and provide top-notch service, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The atmosphere is just lovely, with a unique decor, comfortable seating, and even live music at times that adds to the fun vibe.
Cons
  • The cocktail offerings could do with a bit more variety or refinement, as some folks have mentioned they're not quite as impressive as the beers.
  • It doesn't open until the afternoon, which might be a tad late if you're after an early pint or a quick stop before lunch.

This was a great pub to go drinking at, with a unique style that harbours creativity on the walls! The counter echoes this and is well-presented, the staff were friendly and I enjoyed a Long Island Iced Tea. The seating is comfortable and toilets were clean, although it would be better if cocktails had 2 for 1.
