staying over on saturday nite for the bulls v fc match

were to go and not to go in the town centre after the match

any comments please

Don't go, go to Leeds. It's better. Can get train in evening for about £3 and it's about £25 for a taxi back to Bradford. Depends on what you want to do though really, some decent curry places in town, some decent pubs and in terms of clubs there's your regular dives full of rowdy locals and students. Nothing outstanding IMO though, you'll have a better night in Leeds I'm sure.

Give Holroyd House guest house a ring,stay their its walking distance from Odsal and Wibsey Village is a great night out plenty of pubs.

Heh, never thought I'd ever see anyone recommend Wibsey Village as a great night out.

It's a great night out if you want to watch something that tries to resemble a night of UFC. Give it a miss, go to Leeds instead. Bradford city centre is pretty dire too.

Also staying over after game.

Staying in hotel near the Interchange.

Any nearby recommendations for some decent food? Indian or Chinese preferable.
Also a half decent boozer to pop for a few jars after fodder?

Wibsey is a decent night out. Changed quite a bit in the last year or so.

Holroyd House, Guide Post, Cedar Court all local.

Buffet at Bradford Chinese is just below Interchange, eat as much as you like
for a reasonable price. Well worth checking out. Also reckon Wibsey is a decent
night out,at least five pubs,three clubs on or near the High Street.

There's hardly anywhere left TO go in Bradford town centre.

What are you looking for? A curry? A club? Or just a quiet boozer to sink a few to drown your sorrow at losing to the might Bulls?

The Sparrow is a great place for a drink in the town centre. The best place by some distance: thesparrowbradford.co.uk/ As for a curry you could try Omar Khan's (our prospective new owner) by the ice rink. www.omarkhans.co.uk/ A more authentic backstreet curry house is the Karachi www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/ ... ant-review As for other pubs there are a few crap identikit bars up near Omar Khans. There's a fairly decent Weatherspoons: www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pub ... titus-salt If you're bored you could try and see what's on at the Media Museum. There's an IMAX screen as well as a conventional cinema. www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/film.aspx

Great curry! Highly recommend

So some guy asks fans on the Bradford forum where to go and you get some assholes saying "Don't go, go to Leeds". What a set of losers! Why are these people even on here? Even if you can't find anything to suit your delicate tastes, why tell someone who specifically said they are stopping here, about a city in which they are not, er, stopping? Morons.

As the OP is presumably just after a decent place to eat and a decent place or two to drink, Bradford contains a fine choice of both.

This would include CAMRA's Bradford pub of the year, The Sparrow, in North Parade, which is not to be missed. However, two other places to call into are the Fighting Cock, a regular award winning real-ale old style boozer in Preston Street, and the New Beehive on Westgate, one of the few remaining gaslit pubs around.

Next door to the New Beehive is the best formica-table no-nonsense curry house in Bradford, the Westgate. Same building as the posh curry house, but down the side, and open late.

Between them, they should do you just fine.

Supporting the Bulls does not mean that you have to be a supporter of the City of Bradford. People are also entitled to express their views when asked a question.

This. Now how about you come down off that incredibly high pedestal you appear to be sat on there FA!

Thanks for the info folks.
Beehive and Westgate look like just the ticket.

Beer and food next door.
Would you have to book a table for Westgate or it just a wander in and take your chance job?
