City Vaults in Bradford

Booked for tea here before seeing a show at the Alhambra. It was very busy but the service was quick and the food was tasty and well presented. Would definitely visit again.

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.

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

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.

staff amazing food good, sue and 4est of team welcoming and accomodating.

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

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

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

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

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

Took my young grandson here for the 1st time for a pre football match lunch. We both enjoyed our meals. Large all day breakfast for me and fish and chips for him. Good value for money but disappointing they don't do children's menus so the fish and chips portion was too big for him.

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.

Lovely food friendly atmosphere

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.

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

A great place to eat and drink.

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

The best place I bradford to.get food

the drinks are top notch, such friendly staff, so clean even the toilets which it isn’t most places, food is gorgeous, will definitely call again.

Not been in for years. Caught up with family. Big place, lots of different corners and mezzanine. Food good! If you don't want to walk far from the station, or don't want to walk uphill, I recommend. Went Thursday teatime, and quiet still at 8.00 pm.

Nice bar. Plenty of little nooks and levels make it feel small, but it is really big. Nice atmosphere, very relaxed. We didn't eat but the food looked good and very reasonable prices.

Difficult to fault for a very reasonably priced inderpendent city centre Gastro pub. I regularly visit Bradford for work a few days in a row. Menu has pleanty of choice and the food is pretygood and importantly not expensive. Decent Beer and various areas to sit from bar with sport on screens to other spaces with just Background Music as well as outside. Staff very friendly. If your looking for a very fancy gastro experience this is not it but for an everyday place to eat or inexoensive and decent meal out or a place till time its great..

The food is immense never had a bad meal here and is always home cooked.

It was ok. Not great atmosphere and homeless hanging around.

Fantastic place. Good food. Perfect for a family lunch. I had lasagna which was rich and tasty. The Hallomi fries were a bit salty for me, but my partner found them delicious.

Great pub in Bradford city centre, good value and friendly vibe, if you're heading for a Spoons try this place instead first. Their Yorkshire burrito (Yorkshire pud wrapped up like a burrito) is a cool idea!

Lovely pub , very friendly and helpful staff , gluten free food available and good pints

Well cooked affordable food with good service. Lovely old building

Best pub in Bradford and great value on food and drink.

What can I say haven't been in since last Christmas both servers remembered my friend and I looking forward to booking for Christmas this year. Had such a lovely time in there. Thankyou

Lovely staff, wonderful food. Unable to give it 5 stars as myself and my family felt it was too warm, they had the heating on in June?

Beautiful brekkie I ordered a breakfast too much for me to eat.

Always amazing food when I come here, it's my go to place

Nice atmosphere in here. With a good selection of beers and nice food.

Excellent value for money. Drinks reasonably priced, great atmosphere and food was absolutely delicious, great value for money. We had the Hustlergate burger and it was soooo filling xxx

Friendly and good choice of food

Popped in to have a cheeky drink and to say hello to the friendliest bar staff in Bradford. The sight and aroma of the food going past was too much to ignore. Decided to have the gammon steak for lunch. It was a lovely meal and a big portion. A lovely meal ..washed down by a large glass of merlot. I was stuffed! Lovely food. The friendliest people in bradford . Thank you.... all. ...Chris.

Brilliant food definitely recommend a visit, and excellent prices.

Always a great experience. Food is brilliant and the choice of drinks is spot on.

Happy customer again. Keep up the great service and food

Good pub food at reasonable prices. Traditional beers available

Everything good except disabled access and where I could get in the table was very small for 2 people eating.

Best pub in Bradford. Good delicious and reasonably priced. Very traditional worth a visit

good beer selection and quick quality food!!

First time visit the food was excellent will definitely be back.

Always a pleasure when I get to call into one of the best pubs in Bradford. Great staff, food and drinks in a great location

Great match day food and beverage, can recommend thr Bantam Burger

Very unprofessional, particular staff members openly bad mouthing customers to other customers along the line of “attitude problems” when they got the order wrong.

Surprisingly good pub to say where it is. Food prices are great and you got plenty to eat. Would definitely visit again.

Visit City Vaults Occasionally when in Bradford City Centre. Good atmosphere, interior has character, plenty of seating, ground floor and upper floor. Staff friendly, good service. Food is OK, we had Burger & Chips and Tuna mayo Sandwiches, i should have just had Tuna mayonnaise as the margarine tainted & spoiled my sandwich, prefer butter. Drinks are average price. Ladies and Gents Toilets are very Clean. No Parking as in City Centre Nearby car Parks.

The best place to have a full breakfast I've found in Bradford centre. It's excellent, nice food, well cooked, hot and the plate is hot.

Food delicious and cheap, modern surroundings, plenty of seating and friendly staff. Probably the best place to eat in the town centre, it's always our 'go to' place, and now has a pizza oven

Great meals and staff definitely recommend

Massively disappointed, I’ve been here a couple of times before and the food has been nice. Visited this time, the drinks were lovely but the food was not great at all. My partner had sausage and mash in the Yorkshire pudding, the sausages were slimy and the mash was definitely Smash. I had a chicken burger, the chips were cold and tasted like they’d been there for a while and the burger was gooey inside? Sensory hell. Needless to say, we both felt quite unwell after eating here and continue to feel unwell a day later. Lovely pub, but I definitely won’t be eating here again. I’ve had better school dinners.

Disappointing experience with the food. I've always liked this pub & the last time we ate here in Feb 2023 it was good. But this time was different. First there was a 40 minute wait for food, which was advised when ordering but it wasn't that busy so maybe a staffing issue. My dad had the fish finger sandwich on bread, it was a bit lackluster, the batter on the fish was too thick & over cooked so was soft rather than crispy. I had the southern chicken wrap , it was ok but it was falling out of the wrap. I probably wouldn't eat there again, but I would go there for a drink as it's still a good pub.

Great place. Decent food and fab service. Just a shame Bradford Council don't do anything about the tents in the city centre outside these premises.

Great for pre match football drinks

Went in for a drink at about 7.30pm and decided to get food before they finished serving, completely ignored by the bar staff when trying order, the staff only wanted to serve drinks to customers who had just come through the door and ignored us who wanted to order food, complained to the bar manager who just shrugged it off with an explanation of its been busy this week. Decided to go elsewhere and spend our money

From the start the coffee machine was broken. And once we ordered the food, I wanted fries instead of chips which is actually mentioned on their menu to ask which you want. Due to us sitting near the kitchen we heard the kitchen staff tell us to F off and they started complaining because I asked for fries. Vile service. Disgusting behaviour from all the chefs. I do not recommend. The burger tasted like a rustler burger. The fries were decent. But after the service me and my friend received. Just felt Insulted. Don't put on the menu. Fries or chips. Then complain when we ask. Go to McDonald's. Better service.

Great atmosphere, great staff, great food. Good for sport

Top class food, wide selection of drinks and very friendly staff. Plus the addition of lots of tv's with a wide range of sport on

Great pub if you fancy something to eat or just a few drinks. Staff great, plenty on offer, good prices. Nice location seating inside over 3flooors if your coming to Bradford you have to come here.

Got stranded in Bradford due to work so wanted pint, food and watch footy. Ordered Lasagne which is a safe bet on a pub menu, have to admit this was the tastiest vibrant flavour some lasagne I've had in years. Chef, fair play whatever your doing to make this dish dont change it!

Nice breakfast polite staff only fault is carnt have refill on hot drinks

Great Pub and excellent pizza 😄

You cannot fault the quality of the food and value for money at City Vaults. A reliable pub with a menu of good variety and plenty of choices plus a well stocked bar and variety of ales. Spacious with a wide variety of seating. Pizzas are also great value and so tasty.

All round great pub to visit to have a meal or just a drink

Great food as always it was very busy but we were served pretty quickly, if you want to eat here go early

Great beers, pleasant bar. Can see the sports screens from most seats which is no mean feat in a Victorian building

Lovely looking traditional pub with gorgeous ceiling and interior design. The only downfall was the food really. We ordered Cheeseburger and chips, which states on the menu it is a fresh steak burger, unfortunately it was far from fresh nor steak but a tinned burger with dry old salad leaves thrown on. Old onion and fresh chips but cooked in old, dirty oil 😞 We also ordered the Hot Roast beef sandwich and chips which again was old, rubbery microwave beef chucked in-between two slices of white bread, a crusty baguette would have been nice with nice hot Roast Beef and Onion Gravy. Then ordered the Steak and Ale pie which stated open pie which is fair enough but it was really a spoonful of beef stew with a bit of pastry chucked on top. By far the worst Steak and Ale Pie I've ever come across. Will not return unfortunately and could do so much better.

Just popped in for a couple of beers as we often do when in the area. Great pub with a great atmosphere. perfectly situated in the middle of town. One of my favourite haunts although haven't eaten there in a while but remember the food being excellent. Definitely would recommend 👍

Great food, great service and everything was recently priced! Date night? ✅ Night out with the lads? ✅ Sports night? ✅

Very nice place considering it's in the center of Bradford, great food at great prices, nice atmosphere and good songs.

Great place to grab whole day breakfast options and drinks

Closed early on New Years Day despite them the football. They tried to close during the match but were eventually nice enough to let us finish

It'd be a decent place if it wasn't for the unsavoury characters. Friendly staff and nice selection behind the bar.

Lovely food down side we had to ask for our table cleaned

cant fault it -didnt try it but the food does look good

Very pleasant public house good city centre location. We chose this as we wanted somewhere to eat before attending St George's Hall and this is only a short walk away. Good selection of drinks and nice atmosphere. Food very good and we didn't have to wait too long.

I must say I left this establishment a changed man. Me and my mates walked in with low expectations, we just wanted a place to stay because it was raining heavily and my friend Benedict was just involved in a hot air balloon collision. We carry my injured friend into the pub and we are immediately greeted by some friendly bar staff who ask us what we want. We explain our situation, the lads all order fruit shoots (the usual) and we sit down. The important part is when one of the bar staff seemed to take notice of the critical condition my friend was in, and walked up to him and asked if he could help. The man was named Tyler and he asked if he could "do anything to help" my friend Benedict. Benedict accepted the offer and Tyler proceeded to breastfeed my friend right in the middle of the pub. As this happened we were all cheering and clapping and the entire pub joined in to applaud the situation. Once Benedict was fully healed after the thorough breastfeeding he stood up like a phoenix from the ashes and proceeded to fly away into the sunset. We left Benedict to do what he wanted and we thanked Tyler and proceeded to order some food. We had stone baked pizza, paninis and yorkshire puddings which were all reasonably priced and tasty. Someday we will return with Benedict and his newly found wings of an eagle. 10/10
