The Boars Head, Highgate Road, Bradford

Ah, The Boars Head on Highgate Road in Bradford – what a gem it seems to be for a relaxed pint or a bit of a singalong. From the reviews, it's clear this place nails the friendly atmosphere; it's one of those pubs where you instantly feel welcome, like you're catching up with old mates. The staff really shine, always making sure you're looked after, and the karaoke and disco nights sound like they're a proper laugh, turning an ordinary evening into something special. On the flip side, it's a shame there's not much online info to go on – no website or phone number makes it harder to check things out beforehand, and the opening times are a bit of a muddle, which could catch you out if you're planning ahead. Still, if you're in the Queensbury area and fancy a traditional spot that's big on hospitality, I'd say give it a go; it's got that authentic pub charm that's hard to beat, even if it's not the most visible place just yet.
