Welcome to the official blog of The Arena Sports Bar Bradford.

What a great couple of weeks we have had down here at the bar. Father’s day was packed out with families all celebrating father’s day in a great atmosphere.

A whole range of people are coming to the bar and taking advantage of very cheap drinks promotions. We are also running 25% discounts for all season ticket holders of local sports clubs I.E Bradford City and Bradford Bulls but, the discount cannot be in conjunction with drinks promotions already in place.

We have added 2 new lines to our already huge selection and here are some of the drinks promotion prices:

Green Label £1.30

Caffreys £1.40

Tetley’s £1.50

John Smiths £1.60

These prices remain the same price all day and all night. We will not raise the price after a certain time in the day or night.

Our bar seems to be getting busier each and every day and we also have many events planned and also great news to share.

Ex Bradford City player now Harrogate Town player, Danny Forrest popped into the bar during the week to come have a look around and in his own words “ I love it!” and he has kindly donated some items for us to showcase in our display cabinets.
 
Thank you Danny for your generosity and to jog your memory of who Danny is here is a clip of him scoring a beautiful goal for Bradford City  Danny's Goal and also the website for Harrogate Town

We had none other than the world renowned DJ Scott Page! The night was a complete success and the venue was packed out full of Scott’s fans. And on the back of this hugely successful night  Scott has agreed to come back and DJ again on the 2nd and 3rd of August 2013 so get that in your diary’s and join us for yet another great night!
 

Promotion CD’s of Scott’s mixes will be available very soon so, if you want your own copy come on down to the bar.
