Real Ale Ray left this review about Platform 1¾
A decent sized urban style bar with some interesting seating arrangements. The collection of four railway carriage seats near the window circa 1960's, along with a collection of Cinema seating, I thought added some novelty factor. These areas were taken on our visit, so we took up our seating along the left hand side, which consisted of four bright green upholstered booths. There was also an old Granada TV set with an inserted laptop screen showing old Harold Lloyd sketches. Five ales on handpump, so we went for the Empire Brewery Fluke and the Old Spot Brewery Tongue Tangler. The owner was friendly and told us that he always has an interesting range of local beers on cask.

A total change from the previous incarnation as Off The Tap, gutted and refurbished under the expert hand of Sean Garvey not a trace remains of the former spartan interior. There are now comfortable seats, proper bogs and a good range of local beers.

A micro pub by definition but actually fairly larger than most. There is one large open plan room witha high roof and bar at the back as you enter. there were around six ales on at my visit but nothing too exciting so opted for a safe bet harvest pale at around £3 but found it to be a pretty poor standard which was really surprising. There was a few very odd weirdy Brady's in as well and it had a very strange atmosphere not helped by the standoffish approach by the bar man (I thought the point of these places is to communicate and chat about good beer and other conversation?)
I left with a bit of a bad taste and wouldent hurry back. this is strange as these places are usually right up my street.

Small but not quite a micro-pub housed in an odd converted shop unit. The small L shaped counter has two handpulls but the beer is stillaged behind the counter and most is dispensed by gravity so no big Yorkshire heads or waiting for top-ups as the cream eventually settles. All casks are fitted with cooling jackets and the beer quality is very good. Cider and perry are also sold but no wines or spirits and definitely no keg beer, after all the sign says "Real Ale Freehouse". The walls are breeze block, painted red beneath the dado rail and cream above in traditional pub style, the utilitarian roof is visible and the floor is a laminate. Furnishing is simple, there are 5 sets of modern kitchen tables and chairs in light wood, decor is pump clips, posters and beer adverts. It was deservedly Bradford CAMRA's pub of the season in spring 2013.
