Quinno _ left this review about Crafted

Don't be fooled by the name, it isn't Craft or Crafty. What it is, is a dingy opened-out barn designed for vertical drinking with some majors on keg. 2x cask from small brewers was what drew me in. The girl behind the bar initially poured water and understandably grumped-off downstairs to connect the cask (at least someone is making the effort to put water in the line overnight). Eventually and after some welcome fussing, I got a decent half of Jolly Boys Super Citra (NBSS 3). There's no real reason to come here outside of a night on the town.

Rob Hunter left this review about Crafted Bradford

After a lengthy period of closure this is now open as "Crafted" and I paid a visit last Friday afternoon. There is some outdoor pavement seating to the front - these tables has QR codes on for table service, but the inside tables did not seem to.

Five hand pulls at the bar, only one of which was on, and that was offering Saltaire Blonde (a staple, it seems, in many Bradford pubs that offer real ale). This was £1.75 for a half. It had a bit of an odd taste to it, and I'm not sure it was meant to. Their choice of name seems a little unfortunate, as there does not appear to be much to draw in the discerning real ale / craft beer drinker, unless I missed something.

On the upside, it has a pleasant cafe bar vibe with music playing (if somewhat heavy on the bass). Food is served.

I think I preferred the place when it was the Beerhouse. Another place that I won't be in any rush to return to, but will probably re-visit at some point in the future.

I was about to mark this as closed following a walk down North Parade yesterday, but see that Andy Hemingway beat me to it back in May. Looking through the window yesterday it looked empty and was either having some refurb work done or having its fixtures and fittings stripped. Interestingly it still has the bar at the back complete with clipped hand pumps, so will be interesting to see what becomes of this place.

The Northern Social never seems to be open during the day. Have passed it a few times over the past few months, the most recent being on a Tuesday afternoon earlier in the month, where I found it was closed at midday and still closed at 4pm. WhatPub suggests it should be open from midday, but perhaps that information is back from its days as the Beerhouse. No rating as I have not managed to pay a visit yet!

Old Boots left this review about Northern Social

The interior is much the same as before when it was the Beerhouse but four big screens of sports coverage have been installed along with table football, two pool tables and a central table made of scaffolding which could be for multiplayer tennis. Only 3 of 6 pulls working on my visit alongside 8 craft kegs served from wall taps and half a dozen ordinary kegs. Beer quality seems to have held up even if or perhaps because of the reduced range.

Good busy pub with a large room and toilets downstairs. Five or six hand pumps including Jaipur and Excelsior and a selection of kegs. By far the best of the day.

Alan Winfield left this review about The Beerhouse

The Beerhouse is a large pub that is a fairy new venture.
Once inside there is a very large square shaped room with the bar facing,the floor is wood parquet type in the middle of the room,it is carpeted on either side,there are normal tables and chairs to the left and bench seating and chairs to the right.
There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Clarks Brasic which was a very nice drink,the other beers were Dancing Duck Aye Up and Ilkley Mary Christmas.
There was decent background music playing.
This place seemed to large clean and clinical for my liking.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Beerhouse

A bright and vibrant large retro bar, with an 80's theme running throughout. The long bar area at the rear was made up from sheets of mahogany veneered MDF along the front, there was a nice section of parquet flooring and some jazzy wallpaper on the staircase wall. The choice of six ales on handpump were excellent on our visit. I relished the Heavy Industry Nelsons Pale, whilst Mrs Ale enjoyed the Arran Brewery Guid Ale.

ROB Camra left this review about The Beerhouse

Much larger than its nearby competitors, the Beerhouse is a relative newcomer. One large room with distinct seating areas to the left and right. The bar covers the entire rear wall of the pub. There are lots of industrial office bits and pieces around the place such as punched card drawers etc similar to those that I remember using when I worked at an engineering company many years ago. A mixture of seating with some comfy, leather look seats around the outside and some bright, older chairs and tables in the middle. 6 handpumps with a decent selection of ales on them including a couple from Orkney on our visit. My pint of Orkney Raven was in good nick and the other half had a glass of Pinotage that she declared the best wine she had during our day in Bradford. Overall, I liked it and will visit again. Ms CAMRA loved it, so if I'm with her next time we'll definitely be coming here. :-))

Old Boots left this review about The Beerhouse

A large single room with an expanse of exposed brick and the remains of a fancy ceiling, industrial style electrical conduit and a job lot of angle poise lamps adding to the slightly funky decor, the furnishing is a mix of stylish modern with older chairs repainted in primary colours. The counter stretches the width of the rear wall and is home to six pulls with mainly local and small, although Shepherd Neame had made the trip up from Kent, there are a few keg taps which I didn't take too much notice of but definitely more than a few national and international names. The staff are enthusiastic and know what they're about but the beer quality although fair, isn't quite up to the levels required in this street of bars. It's also a bit less spartan than a couple places up and down the street.
