   Went to see a green day/blink 182 concert here. If you're into emo, punk, rock or anything a bit alternative you'll love it here. Really good size venue, good stage set up, the staff were welcoming and happy to have a laugh. Everyone seemed to just really enjoy it. Good selection of alcohol, including their own night train lager which was really nice. Very fair prices too not like a lot of music venues that hike up the prices for an event. Overall we really enjoyed it and have already booked in for a few more concerts. Would definitely recommend 5*

   Was great on Saturday 20.12.25. audio quality for blink was a little bit of a downer but made up for it with an excellent green day cover. I had a great time n drinks were nice. Met loads of nice people there. And our friends Marco and Rebecca came all the way from Italy to experience it with us. I'm glad we came and would happily come back to experience it again.

   The venue on first impressions was friendly and welcoming, with the door staff and ticket staff been very accommodating and humorous, putting us at ease instantly. Inside the venue we was greeted by the the barr staff who again went out of their way to spark a conversation with our party of 6. The drinks were fairly priced. Our Friend had come from Italy to see the band for my partners Birthday and they are already planning their next trip back to another event at Night train! The green day and blink 182 act were brilliant, interactive with the audience and played a range of old and new songs! My son who is 17 loved attending his first music event and is also planning another at night train. We would definitely recommend to all and the acts and tributes they have planned look great! We will definitely be back. Thank you!

   All for supporting local venues at this difficult economic time, so a 3 star review may seem harsh but these are my first impressions on visiting for a live band. First up is the bar: 1) I wanted a plastic pint pot with the venue logo on it, my preference would be to make my own decision to buy one, not be forced to. Sure, you could faff about at the end of the night getting a refund but who wants the hassle for £2? It has the appearance of a money grasping scheme with some greenwashing as cover. 2) Slow service getting drinks. Bar area is pretty long and two staff can't cover it all, which results in a crap shoot of whether you get served by being in the right place at the right time. Balance here of staff costs versus takings, but slow service will deter people from going back to the bar. Second is that the stage area has a supporting pillar almost bang in the middle at the front. Makes it difficult to see the whole band when up close. Part of the fabric of the building so not something that can be removed unfortunately. Lastly, looks like Bradford Council have killed the city centre with large pedestrian only zone making it difficult to get near to the venue by car. Particularly noticeable with a lack of taxis who don't bother servicing the centre anymore. Not the fault of the venue, more the council policies, but that does impact people coming for a gig.

   My first visit to Nightrain last night for the Gun, Gin Annie & Scruffy Bear gig was outstanding! A well organised rock venue with friendly, efficient staff. The music was unashamedly high-octane of which the fans were VERY appreciative (which I think surprised Gun - and probably put Nightrain on their venue list for the next tour...) with free parking to boot. An excellent evening's entertainment an hour from home. I certainly recommend this venue for your next rock gig. Well done all involved.

   Fantastic venue, sound is excellent. View can be restricted by pillars depending on size of crowd. Good selection of beers too.

   First visit to Nightrain in Bradford. There to see Chris Holmes formerly of W.A.S.P. What a cracking venue, decent size without being too big. Large stage area (not raised). Decent bar, seemed to have good range and sold a range of non-alcoholic drinks (handy for me as driving). Quite a lot of seating and tables. Venue was noticeably clean, not a sticky floor kind of place. The bar staff I spoke to were friendly. I parked in the Broadway multistorey car park, about 5-10 mins walk from venue. Would go to again, despite the distance from home.

   Played there on 15.10.22 with Day Of The Jackal and South Of Salem. I have to say it is one of the best venues I have played at! The staff were friendly and really looked after the bands with the green rooms, sandwiches and beers. The sound guy knew exactly what he was doing and the result was excellent. Every town should have a Nightrain or at least model their venue after it! The vibe inside was nothing short of perfect! Love this place and definitely on the list when we tour! Outstanding venue!

   Disabled information pointers. This is not meant as a moan but to help. If you are disabled and need to sit at one of the busier events you will not see the stage/band. It is easy to access the venue and there are disabled toilets. There's a small step to the seating area and then another step to the next seating area. The seating area is to the side and back of the venue. The venue doesn't have a disabled seating area, so you can't book a seat. Get to the venue for doors opening for a seat. Due to health and safety the venue will not allow any chairs at all near the front. You will be asked to move if you do so. I was offered a refund before the event when I asked if you could see the stage from the seating area. Admittedly I turned it down as I was very keen to "see" my favourite act and I was going with others. Band was excellent just upsetting to not see anything that's going on. I sat on a stool in the seating area and took the photo at face level so the photo gives you an idea. You can see the singers head just because he's stood on a step at this bit of the song.
