CAMRA Bradford Branch Cider Pub of the Year 2025 - Winner.

Refurbished and re-opened in May 2013, this pub was formerly known as Jacobs Beer House and Jacobs Ale & Cider House. This is the only building, dating from 1811, on what is left of Kent Street. It comprises a single open-plan room but with a rustic, multi-room feel. Six hand-pulls offer three regular real ales and up to three guests of varying range and style. Three hand-pulls are used for dispensing real cider, often from Grumpy John and other local producers. There are also numerous boxed ciders and perries. Eight keg taps offer a range of European beers and a cider. Selection of pies available throughout the day and include some interesting fillings. The outdoor seating area in front of the pub is popular in good weather. Sit outside and watch the city bustle while supping good ale. An Irish traditional music session is held on the afternoon of the second and fourth Sunday of each month.
