The Exchange Craft Beer House in Bradford

Great selection of beer. Pies are very good.

Nice bar good atmosphere have really nice real ales on good music 70 80 tonight

Brilliant bar offering a wide range of craft ales that you normally wouldn't find elsewhere. Great ambience inside, one of those that unless you stepped foot in, you’d miss, but genuinely a brilliant bright light in Bradford city centre that should be visited!

In the Grade 1 listed Wool Exchange this bar has an eclectic mix of real and keg beers that change almost daily. Many are from Nightjar brewery in Hebden Bridge. Background music is also a varied assortment. Friendly, knowledgeable staff with a mixed, friendly crowd . Not good for Disabled access.

What a great little bar! Beautiful interior and, even with just a few people in on a Friday afternoon, lively and friendly atmosphere. Bradford city centre is not great for drinking, but this bar is enough to justify a visit. Looking forward to spending an evening here soon.

bar staff was rude, wouldn’t let me order a water before i got an actual drink, they were completely rude saying “i look about 12” and “it doesn’t work like that”

⭐☆☆☆☆ The bar staff here have egos bigger than the venue itself. From the very first word, the rudeness was off the charts, and it felt like they were going out of their way to be dismissive and unwelcoming. Customers should be treated with respect, not like an inconvenience. It’s a shame because I was looking forward to a good experience, but they’ve lost a lot of custom from me due to their attitude. Wouldn’t recommend unless you enjoy being mistreated.

Well, what can I say. Researched prior going to Bradford for football and saw this on google maps. A 6 minute walk from Bradford Interchange and tucked into a histric building. It was almost like going into an underground cellar. Well decorated and playing a good selection of 80's music, but loud enough for a conversation to be had over it. Excellent selection of real ales and a decent german lager on tap. A haunt for BCAFC fans prior to games but friendly and no issues at all. Food was one of the best pies I have had and sat on a bed of mash with a thick gravy topping it. A selection of home made pies for all tastes for a tenner. Service to your table with a Northern worcestershire sauce to spice things up. Would definitely recommend this Beer House to away fans on their way to BCAFC. Well done guys, will be returning next season (If Bradford do not go up).

(still still still a) Great little bar. Always interesting beer. Pies are good too

Absolute hidden gem of a pub The only downside is the food and that's only from a personal point of view I personally can't eat pie and peas for dietary reasons heartburn etc etc I had a meal in there on burns night which wasn't pie and peas and it 150% so I give the place 5 stars for food anyway for that reason

Best in Bradford, superb range of well kept craft beers and real ales, ever changing, also Pieminister which is super tasty and good value. Friendly, comfortable, clean and warm atmosphere.

Superb range of beer and cider, pleasant staff, interesting clientele and occasional live music. One of the best options in the city centre!

Wow, what a lineup of cask ale on sale at this cellar bar including 3 from Night Jar Brew Co who run this bar. Super friendly and knowledgeable barman adds to the all round experience. There appears to be lots of events happening here so keep your 👀 peeled - you’ll have a good time 👍🏻

A real gem of a pub. I've been visiting the Exchange on and off for thirty years and it's now better than it ever was. Great beer, great atmosphere and friendly staff make it a must visit if you're in Bradford.

Good selection of beers including gluten free. Just had one pint in here, then moved on to the worst wetherspoons in the country. Wish I'd stayed.

Lovely bar with some tasty beers. Friendly bar staff

Best craft beer pub in Bradford by some margin (that includes you BDog). Range leans to cask and local IPAs and they have a decent fridge selection offering other beer varieties. Prices are very fair and the staff are lovely.

Good centrally located bar with wide selection of real ales and friendly, efficient staff. Usually play decent background music as well.

Excellent bar and friendly staff

Great atmosphere and broad selection of craft beers. The pie and peas looked really good so will be trying that next time!

A superb craft ale bar with lovely friendly staff and a cosy & relaxing ambiance. Dog friendly

Always assured of friendly service in this atmospheric cellar bar with great beers, including alcohol-free, and Pie Minister pies served piping hot! Open mic, open decks, live music and club nights too.

I used to run this bar 13 years ago. It really has improved tremendously in that time. Clean. Warm. Friendly. Clean toilets. Excellent beer. Nice bar staff.

Great and extensive selection of real ales. Pies by Pieminister, absolutely delicious 😋 will definitely be back 👌

Excellent place with friendly staff

Superb real ale pub in Bradford town centre, West Yorkshire. Unfortunately, there was a mix up with Saturday food service times so got there too late but well worth another visit to try the pie n mash sometime in the future. Popular on footie match days with both home and away supporters.

Fantastic boozer with awesome atmosphere.

One of my favourite ever pubs. Great playlist and beer selection - always a good range, including stouts and sours and cider. The people who run the pub very clearly care about making it a welcoming place that celebrates the best of Bradford, and I love it for it.

One of the few great bars in Bradford! Beers kept very well! Great whisky selection!

A perfect city centre bar. Always a friendly welcome and a safe place. Brilliant selection of hand pump, keg and bottled beers. It's under Waterstones in amazing vaulted cellars.

One of Bradfords better pubs excellent choice of nightjar beers with a good selection of guests beers excellent place for a relaxed pint

Nice place for a proper pint. Great staff and a good range of beers at good prices. Recommended

Top plaats , Hidden gem. Met craftbier.

Great friendly place. Amazing selection of beers. The couple who run it now are just so lovely. Used to work there and they were so pleased to show me around. Will be definitely going again.

A lovely place to unwind and relax 😊

Exceptional Beers here. Excellent friendly service. Very pleasant relaxed atmosphere. Absolutely super. Best in bradford for the privateers.

Excellent place for meeting friends and good ale's

Best bar in Bradford with a good range service and vibe.

Wonderful place for a cask beer now that Night -Jar have taken over the running of this pub

Great place with six real ales. Also drank several bottles from Belgium and New Zealand. A must visit when in Bradford. Highly Recommended

Stocks a great range of decent beers. I particularly enjoyed a nice Stout. Staff seem friendly. Sadly it turned out very expensive, as I ended up getting a CAZ fine (I had no idea what a CAZ even is until now!) So Cheers to a £120 beer! Sadly I wont be back. But Visit if you are local!

Nice atmosphere and lots of choice at the bar

Excellent place to spend time, chat and enjoy atmosphere in historic location.

We currently have a protest in bradford against the clean air zone and have every other business supplying us we are fighting for the likes of the exchange bar yet the manager Ben wants to come outside and say we are far right !!! I will be contacting the owners if the bar and telling them Ben is not fit for purpose!! This is the first not the time we have had abuse from ben

Not the greatest of bars. The manager has a terrible attitude.

Came to Bradford on a shopping trip yesterday…had the misfortune to venture into this place… My friend and I ( she loves craft beers) were harassed by a couple of leches, generally not an issue in this kind of venue (very loud, scruffy and smelly)… Tables sticky, glasses certainly not sparkling…would’ve normally complained but the guy behind the bar seemed to be friends with the leches so we left our drinks and left 🙄

Ben and Alice have made this is a very good pub. As ex-Bradford City legend John Hendrie said today: "It's a hidden gem!" Ben's a proud Bradfordian and he simply doesn't tolerate bad behaviour or racist loud mouths.

Some really nice options for real ale both keg and cask. Sometimes the atmosphere can be a bit strange, but overall a nice place.

I like it here, great beer, helpful and friendly staff, really nice atmosphere in the place

Always a great welcome from Ben and his team. Great pub, great beets and an ace vibe.

Great choice of beers, good atmosphere. Friendly bar staff. Felt comfortable on my own

Fine place excellent ales in top form.

The Exchange Craft bar has a great range of cider

Lovely place and friendly owners!!!

Meet up with friends, lovely bar, good beer. 4 stars as only have diet Tonic, how to ruin a gin.

It's a great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere and great beers. A jewel in Bradfords Crown. Highly recommend.

Excellent range of beers and good atmosphere

Very friendly with a decent atmosphere. Some cracking beverages 🍻

Excellent beers, excellent service and people. I highly recommend the Exchange.

Great beer, great people, great pub. What more can you ask for

Undersevedly quiet. Great choice of beers and lagers and a comfortable and welcoming interior. Upon entry and seeing the place, you go to the bar expecting to pay premium prices but the prices are reasonable and not inflated. The staff are first class. Well done, to the owners.

Lovely atmosphere, plenty of choice.

Great selection of beers and nice atmosphere

Great ale and craft beer bar under the historic Wool Exchange building. Excellent selection of well kept quality beers. Good atmosphere.

This is our local.It's a great place.They have a great selection of ales,ciders and various European beers and wheat beers.The staff are really nice and friendly.Will happily recommend this pub to anyone.

Cozy place with a great selection of beers

I visited here with BrewDog's "Beer Whisperer" who was blown away by the place. Although a managed house, serving excellent beer from their brewery, the choice of beers is expansive. A lot of fantastic European beers on offer, some obscure and unique, some big hitters from popular and well known European breweries. I was served by a gentleman called Ben who was phenomenal. We had a great chat and he recommended beers with confidence, offering me some excellent samples and helping guide me to choosing some beers that I love. I very much enjoyed perusing the beer fridge. My favourite beer here was either a new Zealand pale ale or a beer made with new Zealand hops There's also a shuffleboard on site

Nice atmosphere, good selection of guests beers 🍻

Had a fab time here. Their beer on tap were yummy. And the feel of the place is so cosyz with books and fairy lights. Will def go back again.

Always love visiting here, great beer and friendly service. Shuffleboard at the back and I've heard good things about the food too.

Excellent choice of beers including sours and bottles of Duchesse de Bourgogne! Very friendly and knowledgeable bar manager. A great couple of hours on a Wednesday afternoon following a visit to the Science and Media museum. Note: The bar entrance is on Market Street, we missed it the first time we wanted to go to the bar!

Great choice of beers, good atmosphere, friendly staff. A gem in Bradford.

A beacon in the drab beer offerings available in Bradford today

Excellent draught ales,reasonable prices

Popped in here for a quick pint, giod selection of beers and sours, I had a pint of craft ale, wife had a cider, nice cosy atmosphere, good decor.

A real ale pub with a diverse but friendly clientele, great selection of alternative music and a top landlord and landlady makes a pint or three here a must when in Bradford city centre. One not to be missed.

Helpful and nice barman, open mic night. Chilled place with noce beers

It's changed ownership a couple of years ago. The beers are great. No food at present but they say it will have food again. You can get pizza next door and bring it back!

Very nice bar. Great selection of beers on, range from decent cask, keg and ciders. Nicely done out inside too. Lovely place for a drink while in Bradford

Best bar in Bradford. Without doubt.

What a fabulously friendly place! Ben made us feel right at home and the regulars were a great source of information for the best curry to be had in Bradford!! In the cellars of the old wool exchange it's got a cosy vibe and great music at the right volume. The door way is small so keep your eye out for the sign so you don't miss this jem.

It's ace + Griff's Magic Theatre..

Great bar. Clean and tidy. Great range of drinks. They actually had the Baccus cherry beer that I love. Nice environment and people. WiFi was working (it can be difficult as it is underground) Nice bar staff. Loved it.

I bought my first pint here in 1986 and it has really scrubbed up well today. Clean and modern with loads of choice.

Small quirky place below street level. Good selection of beers from around Yorkshire.

Love the place, love the people, really love the beers.

A lovely place for a drink when in Bradford.

Really good ale and the price was amazing. Massive price difference from going to Leeds which means I can drink more and go out more.

A very nice pub with a great atmosphere. Excellence choice of beers. 100% worth a visit

A great range of ales, beers and cider with a fab atmosphere :)
