Established in 2014, The Record Café is an independent vinyl record shop, b**r café and charcuterie. Bringing together the best local and world b**rs with new vinyl releases, Spanish charcuterie and cheese. The Record Café has been named Bradford CAMRA Pub of the Year 2017, 2019 and 2020. The mezzanine level record shop stocks the latest vinyl records, released every Friday, along with classic ‘must own’ albums. You can come in and browse or order via the website. The bar hosts four cask ales and seven keg lines, rotated from the most talked about, exciting new and traditional breweries locally and worldwide. Over 40 bottles and cans are available in the fridge, with a 20% discount for takeout. We also have a carefully curated selection of w**e, wh**ky and gin, as well as traditional c***r. Hand carved Jamón Ibérico, acorn-fed ‘black-foot Iberian hand-stuffed sausages, cheese, olives, paté and conservas – premium tinned Spanish mussels, anchovies and sardines, make up the final part of The Record Café’s ‘Vinyl, Ale, Ham’ trilogy. Tea and coffee, from Bradford’s own roasters Casa Espresso is also available. Regular events include a music quiz on the last Thursday of the month, DJ sets, and live music.

Some great news as we approach our 12th birthday…
An invitation to become an Orval Tradition 🇧🇪 ambassador for 2027.
It’s a huge honour as only 395 pubs and restaurants were awarded it last year.
Hopefully we can make it over to the abbey to the presentation in December.
