Any good pubs around venue for a few drinks?
-
Yes ;)
-
Moggys doing his homework as we speak,will be in touch.

Wetherspoons on City square is ok, Fighting **** is fantastic of course, but a trek from town.......
The Exchange was piss poor last visit. I was ashamed.........
Loyds Bar used to be ok..........
The Zoo Bar is kinda down market, especially during the day.......
Option number one is probably most likely to be more accomadating to be fair. Worked pretty well in Bilston at the Wetherspoons place I think. More space and cheapish drinks? Result...... ;)
-
Wetherspoons! Yummie food and everyone says cheap drinks.
As I don't drink (but own donkeys ;)) I have no idea if it's
true but I am all in favor for Wetherspoons.
-
The New Beehive is a decent place and only a couple of hundred metres from the venue. Tends to have a good selection of ale on plus ciders for those that prefer the fermented apple.
There's also the City Vaults and another Wetherspoons in what was the Windsor Baths.
Those looking for a bit of nostalgia could take a wander to the Westleigh Hotel.
-
I verye ges there in decent time a westleigh safari might be good....... It's easy walking distance from city square..........
I've no problem taking a hiking party if that's what folks want to do?
-
The Sparrow is a nice Continental style Bier Cafe , reasonably close to the gig and The New
Beehive , usually have 3 or 4 real ales on tap.
-
We're coming over after work so not sure what time we will make it to the pub, but hope to catch people for a bit. Just let us know the majority decision. x
-
When I was a nipper in the mid 80's, I used to frequent the Boy in the Barrel just opposite the venue, however, back then it used to be a real earthy spit and sawdust sort of place. Last time I drove past it there were no signs of change...
The Beehive is a good option but honestly Bradford central is 5 minutes walk away if that.
-
Driving from Warrington to Bradford via Manchester ish , anyone need a lift?
-
Boy n Barrel was a funny pub right enough. Lots of "ahem" unusual folks in there. lol Used to stop off in there on a regular tour about town on Saturday afternoons.
Beehive ued to be a good venue when they put gigs on in the cellar. My old mob Lowlife played our first couple of gigs there......... A LONG time ago........ :o
-
Is anyone going to make a decision on where the meeting place is. I'm travelling up from the Cardiff area early afternoon and should arrive around 5pm.
Would be great to meet for a few jars beforehand.

I know where I'm gonna be.......... City square, forecast wasn't great earlier this week, if it's raining City Square is nearest decent size boozer.........
City Square is where I'll be with a bunch of others .......... 8)

Stoney, don't push your luck - you might end up there all alone ... ;)

They have Thatchers on draught, I'll be happy as a pig in shit Marloes!!!!!!!!! =)

I see a lot of names here but where and when will "the pre-meeting-drinking-thing" actually happen?
I favour Wetherspoon just 'cos they also serve meals and I know where it is in the centre, well if it's the one on Centenary Sq and also because I was there last year. But with good instructions could manage to find an other place. But someone just have to untangle this post and shout the right place and time. Thank you and see you on thursday :-)

I have no further comment! ;D

Will probably go to Wetherspoons to get something to eat.
This thread mentions a Wetherspoons in City Square and also one in Centenary Square.
Are these different names for the same square....? If they are actually different places which is the preferred one?
-

-
