Guests praise The Record Café’s craft beers, charcuterie and friendly staff; some caution it enforces a strict behaviour policy and can refuse service to noisy patrons.

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 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!

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

Always delightful charcuterie and cheese, along with a great selection of beer and wine (and, just for tonight, coffee), accompanied by music and friendly staff. It's the perfect spot for our 'date' nights!
