For a future video, consider going to the top end of Walsgrave road in Coventry! It's a big road - go closer to the town centre, then can venture to the town after. I lived there before I moved abroad... Ropy is the word that comes to mind. (one of the main reasons I moved abroad) Would be an interesting visit.
Went to university there in the early 00s. It wasn't the best then, doesn't look like much has improved. 150 years ago it would have been absolutely thriving and the architecture in the city centre is a reminder of that era.
The best pub in Bradford was the New Beehive but I'm sorry to see it's closed down. It had gas lighting, a coal fire in each room, a huge selection of proper beers and wood floors. A great place to spend an evening with friends.
The Corn Dolly on Bolton Road is still an excellent traditional pub, great beers and a great atmosphere. Bradford City supporters meet in the Corn Dolly for a few drinks before they travel to the Valley Parade ground.
Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield. All wealthy towns in their prime, as evidenced by the beautiful town centre & public buildings. The industry is now largely gone, with little to replace it. No work, no money, just depravity and dying town centres.
I am from Bradford,used to go in the boy and barrel regularly,also been in the vault,love your channel,keep up the great work and stay safe and well always matey.
Bradford is a great. Lived here 17 years. Some of the most welcoming people (of all colours and creeds) I've ever met. Despite the issues of poverty and the council trying to butcher what's left of the City centre and outer estates, we all try and stick together in the struggle. Some awesome eating spots too. Outsiders love to knock us (particularly evident in the UA-cam comments section and local paper) but they have no clue what goes on.
Back in the 80s I used to work at the Royal Standard on Manningham lane. Biker gangs. Punks.Goths. You name it. Everyone (that never came in) thought it was rough but we never had any trouble. Had a cracking couple of years!
Yeah, me too.. had some right nights in there, punk bands and beer going everywhere, leeaping up and down to the Angelic Upstarts, i seem to remember a pigs head appeared from somewhere and it got kicked around.. what a night. My local was The Duchess of Kent down Sackville street (now closed) All the BCFC ointment crew used to be in there and the telly was controlled by a big fat guy who was always in the snug called TV Tommy..!! Great days.. Boy and Barrel, Metropole, Harp of Erin, Sun Inn, New Beehive, all now gone but the memories live on
In the late 1970's, my brother walked into the Royal Standard, as soon as his head was past the door a beer bottle went flying towards him, it was thrown by a member of Shipley's Satan's Slaves motorcycle gang. My brother walked straight out again as he felt that he wasn't welcome in there.
Went there most days a week last year for work, I like the place but the driving and parking standards round there are on another level ! Lot of interesting characters, have to watch yourself and keep an eye on things though.
Sad fact is that most "pubs" nowadays are chain brands meaning that the days of "rough pubs" (As in "the local" everyones knows thats been on the same street for five hundred years) will soon come to an end.
City Vaults where that old guy was is really nice. Probs best in Bradford. Ginger Goose ain’t too bad. Queen near interchange is proper rough. All the pubs on Ivegate can be rough on Friday and Saturday but the bouncers are sound. Rabbit Hole is a dive and dodgy as fuck. Satvile street is where you go if you want to get stabbed or spiked. Lord Clyde on Thornton Road looks dodgy on the outside but it’s actually lovely. My favourite pub.
There used to be a pub called Delius that I used to go to in the early 2000’s which was great. Some great Friday and Saturday nights were had in there. I was sad to learn it closed down!
This is kn way a brag but 30 years ago I was the first homeless person to live under those arches. I would busk in the morning till the evening to make money for a drug habit. I have been clean 25 years and haven't been back there and this is the first time I have seen it again watching your channel.
My daughter loves this channel. She wants to start a similar channel where she finds old-school ice cream parlours - “let’s see what’s kicking off at Luigi’s” “that mint choc chip is arf decent”
Yeah I enjoy the look around these places but our host seems to be as sharp as a beach ball. Still we can't all be Prof Brian Cox I guess. He kind of reminds me of like a pound shop Ross Kemp "it was all looking like it was about to kick off" etc. Pans camera around a box standard sports bar "bet it gets a bit tasty in ere on a Saturday night". 🙄
You walked past the City Vaults twice. Best boozer in the centre when I was last there. You went in what used to be the Old Crown on Ivegate. If those walls could’ve told you some tales you’d ‘ve run a mile or stayed for more!
There used to be some cracking,down to earth pubs in Bradford,old crown, royal standard, belle Vue, Manville arms,etc,etc, happy days.Keep up the great reviews 👍
I’m an old Yank (67), never been to the U.K., but had plans to go when COVID hit. I’ve since had a medical issue so it’s not in the cards right now. I was going without the wife, because all I want to do is go from old pub to old pub and bullshit with the older guys. Don’t really care to see the Crown Jewels. To me, the older generation of the British people are my crown jewels, and I want to hear their stories.

@@Thomas-fr1ww I have no plans on even VISITING London, and was researching alternate airports. Like… Even if I had to fly into Heathrow or Gatwick, I would want to hop onto a smaller plane to fly elsewhere.
Some great rough bars in Bristol - the Long Bar, cheap rough cider, in Bedminster, the Apple Tree, Barley Mow and Grosvenor. The Apple Tree closes around 6pm - the locals are too pissed to drink any more by then! Old scrumpy bars are getting very rare - go while you can!
I live in Bradford. You missed out on the castle pub. It was just over the road from the boy n barrel that’s closed, down one of the side streets. Really old impressive building but my god it’s rough as inside! But very cheap beer lol. The rabbit hole is interesting too🤭
What was up with that "head-nodding" guy? Probably expected someone to start an argument with him. A lot of town centres are dodgy, rare for someone to just come up and start a friendly conversation.
Off into York today get some beers in 🍻 2 pound bus can't go wrong. History walk will be interesting mate 👍 enjoying the vids. Inspired me to go out more
The Crown Sports Bar was called The Old Crown when I used to go in there many years ago & it was a right rough joint! Topless bar maids, hard cases that you didn't look at & many colourful characters!
Ginger Goose was the name of a race horse. It ran 3 times in the UK back in 2012, winning a maiden race at Hamilton. Then it went off to Florida, USA and raced there until the end of 2017.
I'm from Bradford to me now Bradford is a dead zone,it was once very lively place lots happening,on a Friday night the buses in to Bradford city centre from all directions would be packed of bradfordians going into town for a out night packed solid,but things have changed for the worst,streets are empty.
The Boy & Barrel was all over News last year, massive Weed grow in there. Video of it thats strangely cool too see. Still empty Pint glasses on bar etc. weed just growing round them and up the walls. 😂😂 Used too be my regular like 20 years ago. Should of tried Sunbridge Mills, best part of Bradford. Like stepping back in time down there, such an eerie but great atmosphere.
I just happened to be in bradford city centre a few sats back. I must admit of all the towns and cities I've visited bradford really is the biggest cesspit of them all. Seriously I've never seen anything like it, men of every nationality just hanging around, homeless everywhere, druggies and alcoholics with some collapsed out on the street, shops closed and boarded up, seriously the place is a mess
I used to love Bradford. Back in the 70's it was lively, then the town centre became a no-go area at night, with hardcore "adult entertainment" being shown in a couple of the dodgier pubs, etc. Wouldn't dream of going there now.
There’s a pub just near Bradford interchange forget the name, a few year back now, I had half an hour before my train so went for a quick pint, this rough as f@&k old prozzie approached me (like real 1970’s Peter Sutcliffe fodder) and started quoting the price list 😳 suffice to say I said “you’re alright love” necked the beer and headed for the interchange sharpish.
Pulled up to a junction next to the Metropole in about 1995 and a rough old prossie got into my car and offered me anything for a tenner, thought it was a police trap and drove off, she wouldnt get out and so i was about to lock her in but she relented and went across the road and started offering herself to my mate, brilliant

The Drum Winder where they openly drug deal drugs in the alleyway next to it, that whole 200m of Ivegate street is a real eye opener. But Ive always liked and felt comfotable in Bradford, one of a tiny majority that actually prefers it to Leeds.
@@honestplaces Because while the roadworks are going on, Bradford centre is empty. But yes, at the corner of the Drum Winder they are drug dealing in the open every day. I guess the roadworks have killed their business.
I remember when I was 16 going into the town for the first time, we started in the bridge at the bottom of bowling old line, then to the town centre, the old empress, the old crown and Yates down ivegate and then the sackville arms followed by the county bar, I moved away from Bradford when I saw it going down the drain, such a shame for a once proud city. I won’t even drive through it now. It looks a horrible scruffy place going nowhere. Thank god I got out all them years ago. I suppose you don’t see it when you live there.
Some closed Bradford pubs and bars that I drank in are, The Crescent, The Chaplin Bar and The Vaults Bar (both in the former Alexandra Hotel), The Smithy Arms, The New Beehive, The Unicorn, The Westleigh Hotel, etc.
I remember when I had to live in Bradford for 2 years, some of the pubs away from the centre are the ones to visit really cheap and proper characters no to keen on the southerners, city vaults takes me back though
If you'd gone in the opposite direction from the ginger goose up to The queen's, that's a proper old man's pub and cheap as chips.on your upcoming (or maybe you've already done it) trip to the Krays pubs,a word of advice the landlord of the pub they bought their mum,hates anyone asking about the history or talking about it,he's turned it into a gentrified poncy bar👍
Bradfords only good for drinking or food festival . Rest of it’s an S hole . But the bouncers was bit of dheads to me in that pub with the dealer outside you went in . so not been back since cba with bouncers who are bored so pick on people who are from out of town and hope to get a reaction out of you
Well done mate. Subscribed. Pubs are always fascinating. Im English living in Australia. Some time could you venture out to High Wycombe, and Banbury? Gotta be some dodgie pubs there! 🍺🍺🦘🦘
One of the blokes who taught me at Uni was part of the team that designed the green public space with the water feature..damn fine job. Wonderful architecture in Bradford, Leeds has been a vampire over the last 20yrs however.. I’m from Ossett..look out for Ossett Brewery on your travels pal, good pint 👍
How much is a quid in USD? No disrespect meant, I love the videos. I'm only curious because in every video you labor over the beer prices when they're all in that 3-5 range. In this video 3.50 vs 4.50 sounds like no real difference at all.
4 British Pounds Sterling (Quid) is as of today, $5.20. He tends to go to less expensive, less touristy spots in the UK where beer prices are good. Last year in London, Cambridge, Bristol, Bath, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sterling, etc., I tended to pay 6 quid for a beer. Too much. Bizarrely, if you go to pub-chain, Wetherspoons, beer prices are about 20% less (something about beer freshness and sourcing). I wanted to hate Wetherspoons because they are putting old pubs out of business, but I liked the prices and many of them are in grand old buildings.
City Vaults is a great pub so is the Shoulder of Mutton around the corner from there. Shame The Bank and Black Swan shut as well. Lots of good pubs and a few real dives. The Night train is good for live music
40 years ago The Old Crown was a dive strippers and dirty, full of rough, toilets smelt and had fungus growing on the walls, Boy and Barrel was an old pub Victorian, The pub next to it was a bit rough also. Many of the pubs have closed or been taken over by corporate business chains, Yates was good, Shoulder of Mutton and Rams Revenge also.
John is cool . Never been to Bradford ( I was in East is East ) set there but i filmed my part in W London . Bradford has got some nice architecture! I really like the accent :)
Hehe, watching this and thinking Bradford being the Capital of Culture next year reminds me of the Rab C Nesbitt episode when Glasgow was capital of culture.
Seen you repping guiness had my first pint yesterday 👌 I know its a required taste but I enjoyed it that much I had another one 🍺 love the videos pal looking forward to the next one
what do you drive? Must be either a mini bus or large goods vehicle, as they're the closest charges to "a tenner", at £9. Passenger cars don't have to pay

There are Asians and Muslims in our NHS in our care homes in our public transport system and in lots of other industries, businesses and workplaces. Here’s a fact you can easily check. The Muslim community contributed £31 billion to the British economy in 2023. Toodle pip

I remember when I was 16 going into the town for the first time, we started in the bridge at the bottom of bowling old line, then to the town centre, the old empress, the old crown and Yates down ivegate and then the sackville arms followed by the county bar, I moved away from Bradford when I saw it going down the drain, such a shame for a once proud city. I won’t even drive through it now. It looks a horrible scruffy place going nowhere. Thank god I got out all them years ago. I suppose you don’t see it when you live there.
Some closed Bradford pubs and bars that I drank in are, The Crescent, The Chaplin Bar and The Vaults Bar (both in the former Alexandra Hotel), The Smithy Arms, The New Beehive, The Unicorn, The Westleigh Hotel, etc.
@@davidmacgregor5193 beehive was a loss..any other city and it would be thriving..Melbourne was also an iconic pub..
Top video bro-bradford born & bred,you should have visited the Queens,opposite st georges hall..opens at 9.00am🍺🍻🍺
Wouldn't be a modern City without some random African aggressively screeching away.
Wouldn’t be the uk without some racist numb nut making comments like yours.
Screeching 🤣👌🏻
only the one? lucky day that
God what have we let into this country, nothing of any use or is going hamonise the place.
Normally on a bluetooth headset on a call back home at silly hours of the morning
Very divided city
I remember when I had to live in Bradford for 2 years, some of the pubs away from the centre are the ones to visit really cheap and proper characters no to keen on the southerners, city vaults takes me back though
Next time you come to Bradford got to try Virginia tavern in thrornbury off Leeds rd it's an eye opener mate😂😂👍👍
Shame i missed that
More welcoming than your average Bradford street, I imagine.
If you'd gone in the opposite direction from the ginger goose up to The queen's, that's a proper old man's pub and cheap as chips.on your upcoming (or maybe you've already done it) trip to the Krays pubs,a word of advice the landlord of the pub they bought their mum,hates anyone asking about the history or talking about it,he's turned it into a gentrified poncy bar👍
Cheers pal, i'll reframe from asking questions 👍
Bradfords only good for drinking or food festival . Rest of it’s an S hole .
But the bouncers was bit of dheads to me in that pub with the dealer outside you went in . so not been back since cba with bouncers who are bored so pick on people who are from out of town and hope to get a reaction out of you
Bradford was great around punk era
That crown was a really old pub style in the late 80’s it was where the prostitutes hung out and drug dealers
Minge binge
Boy and barrel was the biggest ronka pub in Bradford. Didn’t know it had shut down.
you should go to a place called Whitburn and try pubs there, its in Scotland, very rough area and a lot of decent pubs too.
Going back to scotland soon. Too many places on the list
Well done mate. Subscribed. Pubs are always fascinating. Im English living in Australia. Some time could you venture out to High Wycombe, and Banbury? Gotta be some dodgie pubs there! 🍺🍺🦘🦘
Buzzing for that kray pub video mate, thank you for the content
Me too. Cheers pal 👍
Used to be great many years ago, Boy and Barrel and Commercial were well packed on Friday nights, now they're either dead or closed.
Should of gone in the Crown years ago, that would of been an eye opener for ya 👀🤣
Shut now?
@@honestplacesthe Crown sports bar you went in, had strippers on back in the day
Ye olde crown was the pub with the noddy man outside. Back in the day it had all day strippers and a good rock dj. Happy days !
One of the blokes who taught me at Uni was part of the team that designed the green public space with the water feature..damn fine job. Wonderful architecture in Bradford, Leeds has been a vampire over the last 20yrs however..
I’m from Ossett..look out for Ossett Brewery on your travels pal, good pint 👍
Seen ossett brewery about, never been in one of there pubs though. Need too!
Bradford people are lovely, very friendly and down to earth
Just watched you and wendell awesome quality im catching up atm keep up the great work Danny 👍😎
How much is a quid in USD? No disrespect meant, I love the videos. I'm only curious because in every video you labor over the beer prices when they're all in that 3-5 range. In this video 3.50 vs 4.50 sounds like no real difference at all.
4 British Pounds Sterling (Quid) is as of today, $5.20. He tends to go to less expensive, less touristy spots in the UK where beer prices are good. Last year in London, Cambridge, Bristol, Bath, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sterling, etc., I tended to pay 6 quid for a beer. Too much. Bizarrely, if you go to pub-chain, Wetherspoons, beer prices are about 20% less (something about beer freshness and sourcing). I wanted to hate Wetherspoons because they are putting old pubs out of business, but I liked the prices and many of them are in grand old buildings.
City Vaults is a great pub so is the Shoulder of Mutton around the corner from there. Shame The Bank and Black Swan shut as well. Lots of good pubs and a few real dives. The Night train is good for live music
40 years ago The Old Crown was a dive strippers and dirty, full of rough, toilets smelt and had fungus growing on the walls, Boy and Barrel was an old pub Victorian, The pub next to it was a bit rough also. Many of the pubs have closed or been taken over by corporate business chains, Yates was good, Shoulder of Mutton and Rams Revenge also.
Pack horse was next to Boy and Barrel, didnt really like it in there.. Duchess of Kent was my fave
John is cool . Never been to Bradford ( I was in East is East ) set there but i filmed my part in W London . Bradford has got some nice architecture! I really like the accent :)
Good stuff lil late to comment...hello from new hampshire
Hehe, watching this and thinking Bradford being the Capital of Culture next year reminds me of the Rab C Nesbitt episode when Glasgow was capital of culture.
These videos scratch an itch that I didn't know needed scratchin'
🤣🤣🤣 i'll take that
I've been going to Bradford for 50 years, great curries. I know all these pubs pretty well. Never had any bother.
1:30 each one of those holes could be 2 or 3 social flats each
Very true
Love the channel! Come to Glasgow and go to some of the pubs around the schemes.
Seen you repping guiness had my first pint yesterday 👌 I know its a required taste but I enjoyed it that much I had another one 🍺 love the videos pal looking forward to the next one
No way! Your pallet will enjoy it more with every pint pal 👍 cheers mate
Just like a draught but refreshing looking forward to the next one 👌
Wemt out Saturday last. Beer prices sky high in every bar. Thats it. NEVER AGAIN
Bradford is a beautiful town completely destroyed by cars and town planners.
by design always
what do you drive? Must be either a mini bus or large goods vehicle, as they're the closest charges to "a tenner", at £9. Passenger cars don't have to pay
1 question .. what was so rough about the pubs in this video .. what does the title even mean !?????😅
Ring o bells pub on the hil looking over Bradford. Shut now .Great for curry's houses in centre
Nice one mate, Guinness £2.50 a pint cant go wrong, that last pub definitely wasnt ropey!
Bangin init. Yeh i know, dunno what that guy was on about
You should come to brigg bud. There's about 12 pubs all within a minute or 2 walking distance. It's a market town
"That's alright that"

That would be a shrewd idea for some merch with that quote on the front of a shirt.

Lets see what's kicking off
😮 Wow great informative video well done.
Go to Accrington. The Nags head is a bit rough with a lot of lost souls drinking in there
mazzy star in the bradford sports bar
There is Hope 😉

Legendary song
The Drum Winder isn't dodgy at all. That's where I go drinking before Bradford games. You need to venture a bit further out the centre for the dodgy pubs.
Dodgiest 😂😂😂
@2:06 modern Europe right there
😢 lil hats bruv
I see there is a lot of water main burst pipes there squirting up into the air. They need to get them fixed asap.
Yeh mate, shocking. Council do nowt
Honestly what does culture award even mean these days? Seems like it just goes to the city with most immigrants/foreigners.
You know it
Bigoted sausage
@@christopherwhittaker2620 Oh yeah, is he wrong then?
Capital of 1st cousin marriage, and "gr00m!ng".
Crime rates through the roof, and some of the most expensive car insurance rates in the country, etc, etc... 🎉🏆
@@jacksonfrenchii8080 most grooming gangs in the UK are white British. Most sexual crimes committed against British children are by white British men.
If you don’t believe me go look at what the home office report says. As for the rest of your thinly veiled racist bigoted nonsense. I’ve heard it 1 million times before. It all sounds like GB News headlines, Daily Mail headlines, the Sun newspaper headlines and the daily Telegraph headlines. You’re just a parrot parroting right-wing crap. Most of the British people don’t align with your views and your values or should I say lack there of. Hence why the Tories are getting annihilated and hence why reform uk aren’t doing anywhere as near as well as they would hope to be. Look what happened to UKIP. They never won one seat in parliament, and they disbanded. There are Muslims in the British Armed Forces willing to die for this country. There are Muslims in the NHS and care homes who were on the front line throughout the pandemic, saving British peoples lives. Immigrants contribute billions to the British economy every year. Take immigrants out of the UK and the country would grind to a halt. End of story.
Next…..
@ddontyy i’ve no idea what the specifics of the award being awarded are. And I’m sure you don’t know either. Anything else to say? I know one thing, Asians and Muslims contributed massively to the local economy of Bradford and to the wider economy of the UK. And as I mentioned earlier, there are Muslims in the British Armed Forces. Willing to die for this country. There are Asians and Muslims in our NHS in our care homes in our public transport system and in lots of other industries, businesses and workplaces. Here’s a fact you can easily check. The Muslim community contributed £31 billion to the British economy in 2023.
Toodle pip
Great Video mate as always. Christ Bradford looks dog rough though.....you want dodgy pubs. You need to go to Birkenhead 👍
Cheers pal, yeh i've heard it's pretty tasty around there
Born & bred! BIG UP THA BRAFORD MANZ 🤙
used to live in Bradford and these pubs do not change and awesome to drink in however u HV to be careful too
Just to make things clear, there are quite a few great pubs in Bradford, as well as ropey ones 😊
If you want it to be livelier then go out in the evening. Not 1 o'clock in the day 👍🏼
Work nights 😭
@@honestplaces ah ok fair enough. Id recommend checkin out the black paddy. Chaps gonna be big. Loads of dingy pubs in Dublin as well btw. Good man 👍🏼
