The Record Cafe in Bradford

Love coming here! Great beer. And comfortable if I'm on my own

Superb spot. Great beers for the connoisseur… and a few for the non connoisseurs. Nice cheese and meat plates. Always a have a special stout on board which makes it a cut above most

A nice find for me while up for the football, excellent well kept beer.

One of the best bars in Bradford located on North Parade where there are several other good places to drink. Excellent beers, plus gins and other spirits, nice ham and cheese selection always very tasty and upstairs a haven for lovers of vinyl. Such a chilled and relaxed vibe and so clean and friendly.

Fantastic selection of beers and a great atmosphere. Perfect for a pre-match pint in friendly surroundings.

Great quality beer and a lovely post match atmosphere (Helped by a 4-0 victory!)

Love this place - always make a point of calling in when in town. Blown away by the charcuterie !!

Lovely place to have a drink on North Parade. Great aptomphere and great selection of ales, lagers and gins

Great place to relax, dog friendly and great atmosphere. Staff very helpful.

Great beers, great gins, friendly bar staff, fantastic atmosphere, great music, what more could you want? The perfect place.

Easily the best bar in Yorkshire

What can I say? Great service, fantastic beers, cheese and meat. Record selection upstairs is great and we were treated to a lecture on 1970s Chilean football and politics. This place might be my heaven!?

Great place for a pint. One of if thee best places in Bradford CC....

Visited before attending football match. Excellent craft beer ( Northern Monk), friendly, informative staff and sat outside in the warm Bradford sunshine chatting to locals.

Enjoyed a lovely couple of pints and meat platter

One of the best placed I have had such a nice ambiance and a pint of german lager!! Definitely must visit in Bradford

This place literally feels like old british cafe with a twist of German Lagers and amazing ambience. Loved their playlist too xD

Great place for beer with Spanish sausage and cheeses. Wish I lived nearer

FOR MORE, GO LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST - PUBTROTTERS PUBCAST WE ALWAYS GIVE 5s AS ALL PUBS ARE DIFFERENT AND GREAT Record and beer...enough said...although maybe not. Amazing bar person, great decor, records for sale, superb beer selection and spirits, couldn't ask for anything more

Amazing place. Brilliant selection of ales and craft beers. Worth a visit of any ale fan.

A break after visited Bradford. Very nice place with a good atmosphere. Tried hazy pale ale and milk stout from handpumps, but you can try also from other cask's beers. To visit in Bradford!

Great little café with good choices for food & drink. The tapas options are well-considered, the staff are attentive and the ambience pleasant; great to find this kind of place tucked away in Bradford!

Bar + upstairs room + outside seating. 4 h/ pulls good choice of beers + craft. service very good.

I love this pub - cannot fault it - had the Sobrasada sausage spread on toasted sourdough- a bargain at £4.75. The ale is pretty cheap as well and kept to perfection.

As always. Great beers excellent condition at a well run venue.

Great atmosphere there and also great range of beers, worth to visit 👍

Great selection of beer and a nice atmosphere with added vinyl and meat and cheese 😁

Excellent craft beer. Can either get a good cask pint for under £4 or get a top class TIPA or sour for £6 a third. Brilliant range and lovely atmosphere particularly before and after the football.

What a little gem.. Beer pork and vinyl

Really nice bar. Visited Bradford for football and this was perfect for pre-match with a mix of home & away fans. Friendly locals and a great selection of beers at reasonable prices.

Good choice of ales and craft (and key keg??)..

Visited on a wet Wednesday afternoon. Had coffee and a snack. Staff friendly and professional. Surrounding is comfortable and atmospheric. Didn't try the beer, but a fair old range. Seems like everything you'd want from a bar.

Great beer and atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone.

Great staff, great food, great times ❤

Love this place. Interesting beers and range of tasty cold cuts and cheeses plus olives, bread etc. class act.

Must be among the best Real Ale pubs in Yorkshire. Always a warm welcome from Keith & his team.

Fab spot with great selection of food and drink. Really hard to leave as its such a pleasant space to spend your time.

Excellent and with a record shop upstairs.

Brilliant bar, food and atmosphere 10/10

I wish this bar was in my town. Great atmosphere and superb hosts

Best beer place in Bradford. Great staff, fantastic range of beer and tasty platters to soak up some of that fine ale.

Friendly staff, good selection of beers and records.

A fab relaxed place to enjoy a range of bevvies.

Great bar on North Parade serving craft keg and cask at fair prices given the quality and diversity of choice. If you're into records we'll, pop upstairs for a treat!

Great little bar. Great range of beers, loved Desperately Seeking Dopamine and the 12% smoked chilli stout was interesting. Friendly staff, great decor and the added bonus of a vinyl shop upstairs.

Excellent place with friendly staff

Nice chilled place selling a variety of platters and beers

Visited for the first time to attend a lunchtime lecture on popularity of adult replica football shirts. Really interesting little pub/cafe/record shop! The pub/cafe was down stairs and the record bit was on the first floor. Didn't visit the record shop, so can't comment on that bit. Quite small, so did seem rather crowded and busy, but great atmosphere. Very friendly staff, excellent selection of real ales and the prices seemed quite reasonable. They host a monthly football related lunchtime lecture prior to Bradford City home games, so will definitely be going again. Didn't have anything to eat there, so can't comment on the menu. Apparently they also host regular live music events. Definitely recommend a visit.

Proper little gem is this place.

Nice place for a drink and a chat. Knocked off a star because the vinyl revival is overhyped and overpriced.

A good pint and wickid tunes, nice place to sit down and relax recommend to anyone.

Will definitely be making a return visit. Small welcoming pub a short walk from Forster Square station. Good selection of real ales and craft beer.

Pints and records, a great combination for a shop!

It's a great bar. Great beer, great charcuterie and great people. I bloody love the record cafe. I don't come as often as I like but I come as often as I can. If you haven't, visit. If you have, come again.

Excellent place and friendly staff

A great atmospheric pub good beer and food, they have a great record selection for sae up stairs

I visited this place prior with my daughter and a friend prior to going to see Doncaster Rovers v Bradford City at Valley Parade, it had been recommended to me by another friend. It was really good. A great selection of beers that were well kept, really friendly staff, despite being ran off their feet, friendly customers too, it’s great to be made to feel welcome as an away fan! Top marks to the guy on the door too. Very friendly, funny and helpful. It’s a great pre football pub but I will definitely be coming back when it’s quieter! Highly recommend if you want a good pint of beer in Bradford.

Was actually playing gypsy jazz with Appel4 but this place has such a great vibe, lovely stuff, delicious food and air conditioning, which is a bonus atm!!

Great selection of beers, excellent service

A fine selection of ales, records and Iberian charcuterie. A gem in Bradord and North Parade

Individual theme, good atmosphere, good choice of beers, friendly staff.

Unfailingly great beer selection, decor and music- always a 'must' when we go for beers on North Parade

What a fabulous place, serving real ale, tapas, and selling vinyl, what's not to like?

Very welcoming, very good selection of drinks.

Such a lovely place! So happy that Bradford has something like this. Recently moved up to Bradford and I felt overjoyed when I walked into the café. Great selection of drinks, really nice bites, lovely atmosphere and vibe, and very friendly service all the time. Highly recommend this gem and hope it goes from strength to strength!😊

Didn't have time for a food/drink visit...went for the vinyl! Have to say that it is lovely.. spent nearly £80 on music ... Will definitely be returning!

Great little bar with great ale

Well worth a visit if you like beer, cute record shop upstairs, even good coffee

Always a warm welcome. Great beers. Lovely relaxing atmosphere and the dog can come too.

Nice beer that got me a little drunk and great entertainment from The Gurgles

Great selection of beers, friendly staff 👍🏻

One of my favourite bars ever. Excellent beer, beer snacks and atmosphere

Excellent atmosphere and great music and beer.

Quirky real ale/craft ale bar with vinyl record shop upstairs and a small deli counter. Good quality beer available. Is in the 2021 CAMRA Good Beer Guide.

Warm welcome , friendliness is apparent and cracking beer and ham .

Excellent venue cracking beers and real records upstairs !!

Lovely place for drinks but a bit expensive

Great beers and great atmosphere for pre match drinks..

Really liked this quirky place. Great beer and lovely space. Thank you.

There is a reason this place is rated as the pub of the year in Bradford by CAMRA. The pint of stout I have just had the pleasure of drinking here was outstanding.

It’s such local cafe bar for local people. I been there first time n got it really nice. Cool atmosphere, nicely managed seatings indoor & outdoor, lighting etc absolutely great. Bar guy was attentive & helpful. Variety of craft drinks, enjoyed couple of. Plenty of locals there n u can see how happy they were to catch other locals for chat. Nice experience n recommend to others. Defo I’ll visit again soon

Good selection of different genres but quite expensive, nice relaxed feel where you can get a snack, coffee and browse through vinyl

The most fascinating cafe. Staff were brilliant.

A real gem. Great choice of craft beers, simple meat and cheese platters. And a vinyl store to browse on the mezzanine. Don t be put off by the walk from Bradford Interchange. Bradford is improving , and the Record Cafe is proof positive.

Great music & food bar. Good choice of drinks & food menu with interesting Spanish tapas. Great selection of taped music, live music & music quiz monthly.

Such a chilled and relaxed vibe. Food amazing and staff brilliant.

This place was a brilliant find. We’d come to Bradford for the day to watch a show and found this place for a couple of drinks before the show. It got a fantastic atmosphere and a huge selection of beers. Would definitely go back if I was in the area again

Great location, fantastic selection of drinks & snacks plus a cool record shop.

Fantastic food, ambience and staff, I'd highly recommend.

Outstanding bar... went in to buy records and stayed for a beer.. great service and great atmosphere... best bar in bradford.. 😎😎🍻🍻

A quirky little cafe on the 'trendy' North Parade. Serves alcohol and reasonable coffee.

Everything about the Record Cafe is completely brilliant...every box ticked..

A decent pint and friendly welcome greets all visitors here👍

Lovely afternoon. Beer and food choice excellent. Staff friendly and knowledgable. Thank you

Amazing authentic place. Great atmosphere and loved the food there

Amazing place! Very good with COVID measures and that, to be fair is a plus. Doesn’t matter if there’s a few in or no one in, the masks are a must. Not really sure what the last reviewer was on about, if him and his friends want to get COVID, I recommend a trip to Manchester. Anyhow, this place is amazing. What’s not to like? Beer! Ham! Vinyl!!! It has all my needs!!!!!

Hungry and thirsty, 4 of us pitched up here on recommendation. Oh dear, the large handwritten headline ran "MASKS MUST BE WORN (Fine) NO EXCEPTIONS! (Not fine at all). Was like being barked at before we'd even set foot in the place.For the manager/owners information, I work in a hospital, plenty of peorple cannot or should not wear a mask, not everybody is a liar. For us, with one person on an antibiotic course & unable to wear a mask it meant we were excluded, not good for us nor the bar, seeing as it was empty.....Off we went, the only other bar open on the street had a similar poster up too, so off we went to Spoons where we had a polite encounter with a staff member and were then free to enjoy ourselves.

Great independent place to meet a friend or simply enjoy great food and good music. Record store upstairs for the latest and also old vinyl.Good selection of cheeses, drinks from indie breweries and Spanish charcuterie.

Brilliant place. Some great beers on the day I called in. Good charcuterie selection, too.
