About This Pub
Ah, Old Bank in Bradford – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a reliable old mate, you know? From the reviews, most folks are buzzing about the friendly staff who serve up drinks with a smile and keep the place buzzing with that laid-back local energy. The prices are an absolute winner too; grabbing a pint for under a fiver makes it a go-to for a casual night out without breaking the bank. It's ideally placed in the town centre, so it's dead easy to nip in for a quick one. But, let's be straight, it's not all roses – there've been a couple of tales of staff getting a bit short-tempered, which could sour the mood if you're not lucky. And while the drinks are spot on, the food side has had some slip-ups, like that unfortunate incident with a foreign object in a salad, so maybe stick to the bevvies if you're playing it safe. Overall, with a solid rating, I'd say it's worth popping in for a pint and a chat, just go in with an open mind and you'll likely have a grand time.
Pros and Cons

Cons
-
There have been a few grumbles about staff attitudes, with one person mentioning a bit of a rough encounter that put a dampener on their visit.

Food isn't always spot on – someone found a weird screw in their salad, which is enough to make you think twice about ordering eats.
-
Experiences can be a bit hit or miss, as not every trip seems as smooth as the last, based on the mixed feedback.

Nice pub in the centre of bfd some friendly people 👌
Great service with a smile. £2.2 pint of caffrey’s! Nothing wrong with that.
The owner of the pub is probably going to want to read this one considering its just re opened ha
Today, me and 11 family members came for drinks, i went outside to smoke a doobie, the staff member(cant name because the review wont post, the boyo looking one who think shes a man) give me BAD attitude, im pretty sure bradford has worse problems than cannabis? Your pub lost roughly 350/500 in sales because your STAFF think they are clever 😅😅😅 pub next door gets the sales 🤪 the money comes out of the owners pocket, not the staffs

I visited Bradford for the first time and desperate for a pint of Yorkshire Bitter i popped into the old bank. I accompanied it with a cheese sandwich and everything was superb. The staff were so friendly and cheerful and it had a relaxed ambience, obviously frequented by locals which really added to the atmosphere. A beautiful, traditional English pub, highly recommended.
Drink and service are good - ordered a pizza and side salad and had some weird screw in the salad (as per the picture!). Other than that it's a nice place for food and drink - we have eaten there before and had no problems so think this is just a one off!
