About This Pub
Ah, the Malt Kiln Inn – it's one of those local spots in Bradford that has a lot of heart, with a decent 4.3 out of 5 from the crowd who've popped in. I love how the bar staff go out of their way to make you feel at home, and the deals on drinks are an absolute bargain, especially if you're looking to save a bit compared to other places. The outdoor area is a real gem, especially with live music kicking off once a month, and it's thoughtfully set up to be wheelchair friendly with a clean, comfortable vibe overall. They've even got a solid range of alcohol-free choices, which is brilliant for anyone wanting to enjoy a night out without the hangover. On the downside, though, there are a couple of stories about the owner being a bit sharp-tongued or not quite up to scratch, like one instance where they seemed a tad tipsy early on, and another where someone was told to turn off their music in a way that felt overly harsh. It's a shame because it could sour an otherwise pleasant visit, but if you're up for giving it a go, I'd say it's worth it for the positives – just keep your expectations in check and maybe go on a day when things are running smoothly.

Nice pub, good outdoor area. Starting with live music, once a month.
The only reason for me giving a 4 star on this one in spite of good food and nice service is because of their name. It should have named 'Opened'
The owner ( landlady ) was very rude, we arrived around 12.30 p.m. and she was stonk of alcohol already. Her attitude was the same as local chavs.
Told me to switch off my music when I was djing here there so rude it's unbelievable I don't know what I have done wrong definitely would not recommend this pub to anyone else
