City Vaults in Bradford

Excellent place to eat and chat lovely atmosphere, and friendly staff

Fantastic food and a good selection of beers.

This is not a gastropub, it's more like a Wetherspoons. Food just ok but at least it's cheap. Poor beer selection - no IPA.

Super meal and plenty of it. Onion gravy to die for. Compliments to the chef

Come here for the first time as it was my birthday n we was visiting family too and the food is amazing even the vegetarian option looks really lovely too and the staff are very friendly n are happy to help you with anything

Reminded me of a Wetherspoons, first impression but friendly staff and a good range of food and drink, great service, and sensible prices. Great atmosphere. Perfect pub setting, plenty of seating areas.

First visit for many years and so impressed with the pricing of the drinks and food. Busy and a good atmosphere. I'll certainly return. Paninis £3.95!!! Yes please

Lovely food and great value for money......nice chilled atmosphere Well Done Team

Great place to eat or drink. Extensive menu of drinks and food.

Rudest bar staff. Ashamed that this is considered one of the best pubs in Bradford, if they can’t even do basic respect and manners. Bradford city of culture? City of rude reprobates.

Excellent venue for lunch. Varied menu. Good range of drinks. Very pleasant service.

First time here Was visiting to watch a show at The Alhambra City Vaults was recommended by another pub we popped in for a quick drink Great food, really tasty and large portions Nice pint Really enjoyed it

Lovely food friendly atmosphere

Very warm and professional atmosphere loved it will very likely be visiting again soon when time off work permits. Thank you for a great service. Very highly recommended.

Always lovely and warm inside. The staff are friendly and the food is always tasty with exceptionally good prices. You don't go away hungry with the generous portions If you drink spirits, it's only an extra £1 for a double It's the best place to eat in town 5 stars always *****

Vino a comer algo después de visitar el museo de los medios. Buena comida del pub, excelente servicio y buena relación calidad-precio. Lo disfruté mucho y lo recomendaría.

Fui con un amigo ayer, 6 de febrero de 2025. Habíamos estado un par de veces antes, pero solo por bebidas. Decidimos comer algo esta vez ya que la comida que salía de la cocina siempre se había visto bien y abundante. No decepcionó. Cada uno comió un filete con papas fritas, aros de cebolla, tomate, hongos y guisantes. Fue el mejor filete que habíamos tomado durante bastante tiempo. La comida fue muy agradable. Se servía en una placa de hierro fundido caliente. También tenemos una botella encantadora de £ 13. 99 Chiraz que era muy bueno y una ganga. Freindly personal y ambiente también. Volveremos.

Nice pub. Good selection of beers and extensive food menu. The kids policy however is different in person than on the website, online it says kids are welcome, but there's a sign in the actual entrance saying kids aren't permitted unless eating; may need to ask before bringing kids inside.

Always come here as there amazing with my little boy who is a very fussy eater . We had the Christmas dinner yesterday and me and my daughter thought it was amazing . To be fair the food is always amazing what ever you get but I really enjoyed the Christmas dinner.

Got a full english breakfast here on 25th Jan, only complaint was the rashers were hard and overdone, other than that no other faults. Staff were very pleasant, well mannered, very patient and helpful. Definitely be back on our next visit to Bradford

Once a month Bradford u3a has a meeting of its Social and Tech Help Group at City Vaults, and we are extremely happy with the venue, and the kindness of the staff. Mostly we just buy hot drinks as it is a morning session, but occasionally members stay on for lunch. Thank you!

All good as usual, could do with an accessibility toilet on the ground floor.

Very nice and friendly service 👌 and very good value for the food well go again when we visit bardford again 😀

Staff were vere friendly and the beer and good at a reasonable price i will definitely eat their and again.

Decent enough place with good value food. Disappointing beer offering though - 6 lagers on tap but nothing in the way of an ipa or pale ale to be found on keg.

Basic, no frills (in a good way) traditional pub, and really inexpensive. Like the train times displays for both stations, I will remember that next time I am in Bradford - really great idea.

Good service and atmosphere proper pub well worth a visit

Good food, great staff, fantastic music, friendly atmosphere, thanks 👍

Nice friendly vibe and staff… good food at reasonable prices

Always friendly & attentive staff, the menu is affordable with a wide range of food options & service is fast. Plenty of seating ground level & upstairs, accessible entrance on Piece Hall Yard. The full English breakfasts are so tasty with vegetarian options.

Little bit Wetherspoons, first impression but friendly staff and a good range of food and drink, great service, and sensible prices. Nice to find a good pub in the city centre.

Great food, reasonably priced drinks

Always a warm friendly welcome. Excellent choice of food and drinks. Top rate service. Great place to eat, drink and be merry 😁

Bradford city centre is.... well, if you know, you know. The City Vaults is a great place. There's always a good number of customers in, and there's always a couple of decent beers on. The good is fine, cheap, functional. The staff are great. As I sat there and had a couple of pints, the friendly atmosphere of the place seeped into me. I had to go after a couple of hours, but I could have stayed a lot longer. I've been to City Vaults a good few times over the years and was always happy enough with it, but now I realise I really love it.

Not very much space and drinks were a little expensive

Always a great vibe in this place.

All good, sirlon stake was nice

Very nice place to be in really like it

Had a lovely meal. Food nicely presented and hot. Staff friendly and professional

Very nice food and very good price quaint little pub/food house in centre of bradford very much would reccommend paying them a visit

Breakfast was pretty decent, only issue was they forgot my toast, what was disappointing! Everything was clean at the table, coffee average, has the footy on whats a plus for me

Awesome layout..Nice and spacious ..friendly and charming bar staff..Great food and beer ..Will visit regularly from now on

Food is always hot, tasty and value for money.

Love the food and manners of the staff are amazing

Very large, usually there is nowhere to settle down

Don't go into Bradford too often, but when I do, I always visit city vaults for lunch. Lovely pub, great service and a big selection of delicious food. Good value for money too

Went solo, good food, friendly staff, quick service, good English pub

On a night a St.Georges Hall though we would call for a bite to eat, loads of places to eat, clean and friendly environment. Ordered a streak asked for it medium rare but it was a little overcooked but apart from that it was hot and tasty.

Love this place, always my go too.

Awesome pub, friendly, good IT, good atmosphere, a safe place.

Great pub with good quality & good value food

Nice friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere, food is great

Visited this place on the way to the theatre. The food was great value and the servers were friendly; they never stopped. Very impressive.

Very friendly staff food always good nice choice of beers

This was our first visit with our daughter who visits regularly when she goes to football we had a very pleasant visit and a lovely meal

Food excellent atmosphere excellent this will of been my 3rd visit nothing to negative to say . City vaults is now one of my locals to go to

Excellent over all and good choice

Great value all day breakfast with fast service. Loved it!

Some of the best kept beers I've tasted. The barmaid told me that they had a very good cellar man, she's not wrong. I asked her to pass on my thanks to him.

Didn't eat this time. Called in for drinks before going onto a concert. Great pub, one of the best in Bradford. Always a great friendly atmosphere

Great place for bite to eat and relaxing drink. Food cooked brilliant staff amazing service with a smile. Atmosphere great

Always Great food and staff and the atmosphere is alway Great especially when city are at home.

staff amazing food good, sue and rest of team welcoming and accomodating.

The best place I bradford to.get food friendly staff

It was my first visit to City Vaults, although I'd heard good things about it. It's a historic building with lots of steps. The food was really nice. As it was just a lunch. I went for the fish goujon sandwich. Very tasty with a side salad and chips. My only complaint was the tiny tea pot! Just one cup? Seemed a waste of a pot to me. It could have been made in a cup. The gents toilets were a bit of a hike away but easily found. I didn't spot the disabled access. As I said, there are lots of steps. Service was reasonably quick and efficient.

Reservado para tomar el té aquí antes de ver un espectáculo en la Alhambra. Estaba muy ocupado, pero el servicio era rápido y la comida era sabrosa y bien presentada. Sin duda volvería de nuevo.

I had an American burger with chips. I'm not usually a burger person but this was absolutely delicious - the meat was soft, the barbecue pulled pork was so tasty and the chips that came with it were lovely and big everything was really nicely cooked and hot. We'd checked the reviews before coming and weren't at all disappointed 😊

A very cosy traditional english pub. Stuff and the customers are relaxed and friendly.

This pub is in a nice old building and there's a beautiful large stained glass ceiling on the ground floor. The menu is quite comprehensive, so there's something for everyone and the prices are very reasonable. The food was very good and there was not much of a wait. The staff could be a bit more warm and welcoming, but otherwise, we enjoyed our visit here.

Staff is friendly and helpful Portions are good, not a big pub but nice place to go for drinks and food👍

Food always great , staff very helpful and polite and the beers pretty good aswell 👍

Great place for a pint to watch the football and good pub food. Very affordable. A few decent vegan/vegetarian options too.

They do the best halloumi fries

Decent pub for either a quick lunch bite or an evening drink. Good prices for food and nice environment to sit in.

Great food and drinks at a reasonable price. Lovely atmosphere and easy to chat.

Beautifully refurbished and extended inside. Food is always cooked to perfection, drinks are a little expensive

The food was great and the staff provided really good service.

The bar has been a city staple for a while, and it shows. But nice staff and a full plate of good hot food showed why it remains so popular.

Locale molto carino, personale gentile, bagni puliti e cibo davvero buono, soprattutto i panini con hamburger. Consigliato

Good choice of beers and great for sport. I didn't eat.

Food was shockingly poor, got told it's a new chef but that's no excuse as to how burnt it was.

We had a fantastic full English breakfast in the Vaults Service was brilliant and amazing value for money cant recommend it enough

Llevó a mi nieto pequeño aquí por una vez en la calle para un almuerzo antes del partido de fútbol. Ambos disfrutamos de nuestras comidas. Gran desayuno todo el día para mí y pescado con patatas fritas para él. Buena relación calidad-precio, pero decepcionante que no hacen menús infantiles, así que la porción de pescado con patatas fritas era demasiado grande para él.

Lovely meal recommend the steak and ale yorkshire pudding, taste divine but it said giant yorkshire pudding and it was more like a medium. I would still recommend.

City Vaults is my favourite place for an amazing English Breakfast! The food is top class, the vibe always welcoming and the staff are very friendly, all makes for a great experience as a solo diner.

Unfortunately, I had to edit this. I have been in tonight, and most of the pub has been sectioned off, so there was no where to sit. I had to leave and go to trusty wetherspoons. It's such a shame as it's a really nice pub, but to not have adequate seating at 7pm is disappointing. -----------first full 5 star rating I have given in a few years. Had the 8oz sirloin stake, and it was lovely. Full off flavour and not at all dry even with it being well done. Staff are really lovely and all smiles. Customer focused, I will definitely be returning.

Only had drinks whilst watching football.

Food was outstanding for the price ! Bar staff were very warm and friendly especially the absolutely stunning blonde lady on the bar ! Strange mix of customers 😁

Very large, cozy pub. The food is very tasty, the prices are OK. Service is very friendly.

Always decent food and friendly staff at a good price

Polite staff, tasty food, served quite quickly.

We tried various bars whilst staying in Bradford and none were a patch on City Vaults. We never normally keep returning to the same pub but everything was spot on here - all staff that served us were so personable and friendly, the food was beautiful and the prices great. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Probamos varios bares mientras nos alojamos en Bradford y ninguno era un parche en City Vaults. Normalmente nunca volvemos al mismo pub, pero todo estaba en el lugar aquí - todo el personal que nos atendió era tan amable y amable, la comida era hermosa y los precios geniales. No puedo recomendar este lugar lo suficientemente alto

Called in for a couple of pints while in the city. Was decent and would return

Popped in for drinks, great offering

Can get very busy. Reasonable prices and nice pub grub. Great Nachos

The food is great value. I had a jacket potato and it was really filling.

Great atmosphere, service. Super recommended. Well centralized pub.

Tried it for lunch, quiet, relaxing environment, good background music. Very kind and helpful staff, large and clean bathrooms. Excellent food, freshly cooked, excellent chips. Price far too low for the quality offered. Highly recommended

Meat Feast Pizza was nice but had far too much cheese and not enough meat. It was more of a Cheese Feast!
