Will Larter left this review about New Beehive Inn

This pub closed in February 2022, being sold to a private individual who had plans for offices on the ground floor. This pub was listed by CAMRA for its heritage interior, but it was not a listed building nor was it registered as an asset of community value. I visited in March 2019 but didn't write up my notes for a review and then mislaid my notebook, which has now been found. I was here with one of my Luton Town mates for a game at Valley Parade that the Hatters won 1-0, and we just had time for a swift half before kick-off. I had a beer from Lincoln Green brewery, Joseph Keller 4.8%, a chocolate cherry stout named after the inventor of Black Forest Gateau, which must have been for curiosity's sake; other beers (not named) were from Spitting Feathers (still going strong, apparently) and Sonnet 43 (ceased brewing in 2022). I described this as a "lovely old hotel" with original features, and half an hour before kick-off it was "very busy with football supporters of both teams". But sadly this is no longer the case.

We popped in here on a Tuesday afternoon and the place was empty. We went into the main bar where we came across the original large pine timbered bar a 1930's floor and a large photo of the pub in its hay day with a group of patrons standing out front. The pub also had two side rooms and a large back room, these were all unlit during the day, which made them even more uninviting looking. There were two hand pumps in operation, so I went for the Saltaire Cascade Pale ale, which was in good shape and prices reasonable. There is accommodation above the pub, maybe this pays to keep it open.

Called in again on my crawl of Bradford. Friday early evening it was almost empty with only 3 of us in the bar. It's a massive pub, so it's not very cosy when there's no-one in. The log fire was burning away though on a chilly evening. 10 handpumps,only 3 on plus a real cider. My pint of Abbeydale Moonshine was in good nick though. I never called in this pub when it's been busy and I've been in quite a few times. It'll be in trouble if this continues.
