About This Pub

Ah, The Record Café, what a little gem it is up in Bradford! You know, when you walk in, you're hit with this warm, inviting atmosphere that just makes you want to settle in for the afternoon. The craft beers and real ales are spot on – they've got a brilliant selection that keeps things interesting, and from what folks are saying, it's one of the best spots in town for that. Pair that with the upstairs vinyl shop, where you can browse through new releases and grab a bargain, and you've got yourself a proper all-rounder. The staff are dead genuine too; they clearly love what they do, and that shines through in the service. It's no surprise they've bagged those CAMRA awards – it's all about that community feel and attention to detail. On the downside, the opening times can be a bit all over the place, particularly on Sundays, so you'd want to double-check before popping by. And if craft beer isn't your thing, it might not quite grab you like it does the enthusiasts. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for a relaxed pint and a chat – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area; you might just find your new favourite haunt!

My favourite bar in Bradford with a great selection of craft beers. Love the decor, and the outdoor seating is great when the weathers nice.

what an amazing place... a little break from home takes me up north and i head here for RSD... all the records secured in "record time" (pun intended), was a great start to my day... later on I had a few beers, some amazing ham, and great service from all the crew working so hard that day... just annoyed i missed Huw from 6 music the day before.. quality place, amazing people, and can't wait to return..

Buy quite a bit of vinyl online and the Record Cafe have a great selection & good prices. The vinyl arrived very quickly and in mint condition. Customer service was brilliant. All questions answered promptly & very friendly. Would totally recommend.

Great little bar. Great range of beers, loved Desperately Seeking Dopamine and the 12% smoked chilli stout was interesting. Friendly staff, great decor and the added bonus of a vinyl shop upstairs.
