    A lively pub that still feels like a pub rather than a 'bar'. Visted it just before Christmas with a party of people from work. The place was heaving but good-humoured and not in the least bit threatening. Managed to find a cosy corner where we could chat and drink. The music was at an acceptable level so that you could enjoy it without having to scream over the top of it.

    The one drawback for me and the other females was the ladies toilets were the other side of the pub to where we were and up some stairs. It took ages to get through the crowds both ways.

    The decor is typically staged stuff including old pictures of Bradford. Staff were friendly and quick so despite the crowds there wasn't much of a wait to be served.

    For the better weather there is even some outside seating with parasols but it was a bit nippy out there around Christmas time.

    This place was in my blood up until around 7 years ago when I moved out of the city centre, not much has changed with this place since it opened. I visited the Vaults just before Christmas and wasn't dis-appointed, now owned by a consortium of businessmen rather than Mansfield Brewery they've made a reall success of it and I am pleased to report it still being the best pub in the centre of Bradford. Well worth a visit.
