I have a few friends coming up for the Celtic game, where would you recommend going for a pint on the Saturday night, Sunday afternoon?

Leeds

Can you not get a pint in Bradford nowadays?

I would have thought any pub would have been a good starting point.

You can, but the question was where to recommend for a Saturday night. Having been out in Bradford in recent times, I'd recommend Leeds instead.

I'd have to agree. There's very little in the way of decent bars & clubs in Bradford beyond the west end. Though, you can have a fun night out if you don't mind slumming it

Actually the question was where to have a PINT on Saturday night / Sunday afternoon.

Seems to have been interpreted as where to go for a reet good night out.

Clarification needed methinks.

if it's drinks before the game then theres plenty of pubs near the ground or you could go up into wibsey. problem solved.

And if it is just a quiet drink with a few friends on Saturday night then there are better and more convivial atmosphered pubs around Bradford than you are ever likely to find in Leeds.

Agreed

This is true.

As you say, it depends what he is after. If it's a few quiet drinks in a nice little boozer, head to somewhere like the Fighting Cock.

If it's a more lively Saturday night, head for Leeds.

Ryan Bailey?

There's plenty of places to drink in Wibsey centre. It tends to be fairly lively on Saturday night - not town centre standard lively, but reasonably busy.

The weather is supposed to be going to be good for the weekend too and there's a couple of reasonable places to drink outside up in Wibsey.

There's also a choice of take-away on the way home and a taxi rank at the bottom of the hill.
Try not to make too much noise if it's after midnight though, some of us living nearby like to get some sleep from time to time!

If you want the whole night-club thing though you are better off in leeds.

Can't believe that a simple question ends up being hijacked into another "slag Bradford" thread. Well, actually, sadly I can.

I am taking it that the OP wanted to know where you can have a decent pint in convivial surroundings. Not a night club or "music venue".

Saturday night - I reckon a short pub crawl is in order. Some short taxi hops involved, but on a real ale themeSunday
Start at the inimitable Fannys in Saltaire, do the tourist thing if liked, maybe lunch at Don't Tell Titus (no real ale AFAIK) or the Tramshed at Saltaire roundabout, then a taxi ride to the Junction at Baildon bottom which has been the CAMRA district pub of the year fro the past 2 years.

Go for food and beer to the rlSymposiumrl at Idle. Bit of a unique little "gastro pub" (hate that phrase) but excellent beer and excellent food too, (from 5pm Sun rl- Brasserie Menurl) rather unexpected standard for a pub and usually some fine specials on the board.

Can't understand how you got the impression that it had.

"Where would you recommend going for a drink in Bradford?"

"Leeds"

No, I can't think how either.
