Old Boots left this review about City Vaults
An odd mix of victoriana and art nouveau in a funny shaped corner pub in the narrow city centre streets that retain the medieval layout but with some outstanding Victorian architecture. There's a fine carved counter running down one side of the main bar which forms the long side of an L, a conservatory like room sits in the angle and further back the pub is on several levels. Leaded stained glass windows, high quality tongue & groove and a lot of cast iron give a Victorian feel with art nouveau highlights provided by the light fittings and a skylight over part of the main bar. A small group of handpumps at one end of the counter provide a choice of mainly Yorkshire beers Tetleys (!), Black Sheep, Copper Dragon and Salamander in good nick, the service lacked a certain something though.

Multi level pub, very close to the main shopping areas. It's all dark wood etc, but it doesn't feel that old. Friendly bar staff and a decent selection of ales make this a good place to call in for one. My pint of a Salamander beer was in good condition. What a shame that there were 3 loud mouthed numpties in sitting at the bar fffing & blinding despite there being a couple of young kids in pushchairs in the pub. Get rid of the knobheads (who all knew the bar staff) and it'll be much better for it.

One of the best pubs in Bradford. Really good position for both railway stations and most bus routes. Serve beer from the local Salamander Brewery (Dudley Hill) along with other real ales, usually Black Sheep and Copper Dragon. EXCELLENT home made food. Live music on regularly. Fantastic interior. Get yer sen there!!
