About

North Parade is a distinctive street in Bradford’s food and drink scene, lined with independent bars and quick bite spots. Its mix of striking Victorian architecture—some lovingly restored, others with a touch of faded grandeur—adds charm and character to the area’s creative energy. The street is especially popular on Bradford City AFC match days, drawing both home and away fans for pre- and post-game drinks.
