Harvana Lounge, Bradford

One of those cafe abr type places. It seems to be a former shop and is one room open plan with basic, uncomfortable seating that you would not want to spend a lot of time sitting in. The lighting towards the back, where the bar is situated dims from the lighter street frontage. The saving grace is the product, local beers & also wines/coffees/bottled beers. Beer quality was ok

A fairly ordinary cafe bar, as described by other reviewers, with just three hand pumps out of four available on our recent visit. These were serving Bristol Milk Stout, Buxton Axe Edge and Ilkley Mary Jane. I had the Mary Jane, which is unspectacular, my drinking companion was very happy with his stout, but the overall experience here was rather downbeat. I don't know if the staff are the same enthusiasts mentioned in previous reviews, but I felt that service was indifferent and distracted, and we went off in search of a real pub.

a single room modern bar with red topped Formica tables, uncomfortable chairs, bare boards and enamelled beer advertising signs. One wall is covered with posters for forthcoming gigs, another has inevitable pump clips and some CAMRA awards in spite of the bar's fairly recent opening (2011). Four hand pumps with excellently kept cask beers plus a selection of interesting kegs and bottles, complemented by a trans-european snack menu. Beer, cider and wine choices are listed on the normal big blackboards and the staff are enthusiastic. Downstairs houses three toilets, male, female and not-sure, it also has more Formica topped tables with chairs and acts as a part time cask store. A don't miss call in a city not unduly blessed with fine drinking establishments and in easy distance of Foster Square railway station.
