Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Turls Green (JD Wetherspoon)
Modern building overlooking Bradford town hall and new City Park, rebranded from a Lloyds No 1 to a regular 'spoons since my last visit some ten years ago. It looks much the same except the annoying partition has gone, so still quite dark despite the large front windows. The beer choice has also substantially improved too, with a decent selection of seven (mostly Yorkshire) beers from the two banks of five handpumps in addition to the usual suspects. I went for the local 5.0% Tod's Blonde from Little Valley, and certainly couldn't complain about the £2.10 this cost...

Aside from a lick of paint and a de-branding from the Lloyds arm of Spoons, its basically unchanged from my visit six years previously. Five guest ales on, Little Valley Stoodley Stout was a bit over-vented but fine (NBSS 3). The outside drinking area overlooking the fountains looked pleasant but I decided to stay out of the sun – a good idea as a bout of pissticuffs took place a few feet away two minutes after I’d sat down.

Modern purpose-built Lloyds JDW overlooking Centenary Square and the City Hall, quite a nice location and they take advantage with a decent-sized patio seating area. Two-storey interior and the usual Lloyds-style ambience, though this one seemed a little lighter and welcoming than the usual. Being purpose-built it is indeed little more than a decorated square box, as noted below. Fair amount of ale on and mine was in decent enough nick. Fag-end of a Sunday evening visit so pretty quiet and hard to judge the usual atmosphere. I thought it was decent enough for a Lloyds, really. Rated 6

Now that the Titus Salt is under new ownership you would think they would make the only remaining Bradford JDW a bit better but if anything it's got worse. It's still a Lloyds although unbranded and was much quieter on a Thursday early evening than my previous visit. There is a solitary extra hand pump which was unused. The beer choice was rubbish with the IPA version of the JDW Trio Of Doom, 2 ciders from the festival over two months ago and Daleside Monkey Wrench. I went for the Monkey Wrench (£2.15) which was in good nick but is a very sweet beer.
Score reduced from 6 to 3.
Visit October 2016

This is a fairly typical Lloyds set in a modern building with an upstairs area that I didn't venture into. The lights and the Idiot Booth are in the left corner as you enter. It was getting dark when I arrived here and found it quite gloomy inside. There was no Sound Of Music or even Mary Poppins.
There are just two sets of three hand pumps on the ground floor which had GK Abbot and IPA, Daleside Lemongrass Thai PA, Marble Earl Grey the IPA, Saltaire Cascadian Black and Everard's Tiger. The absence of Doom Bore was welcome and I went for the Cascadian Black (£2.35) which was in very good nick.
This is one of the better Lloyds but I preferred the standard JDW in Bradford and it seems a shame that they want to shut that one down.
