'Bad rep' UK city is Britain's cheapest night out with £3 pints, 'smackheads and chavs'
Welcome to Bradford, the cheapest place in the UK to get smashed with your mates - but not everyone is a fan of the bargain booze destination, with one scathing reveller branding it 'a bit sh*te'
Bradford is the home of cheapest night out in Britain - costing just over £21 for booze, entry to a club and a kebab and cab on the way home.
But despite it's bargain pints being embraced by many, not everyone rates the city's nightlife experience with one reveller calling the experience "a bit sh*te".
Researchers from Casino Alpha analysed the cost of a a pint or glass of vino, a cocktail - like a whisky sour or espresso martini - entry to a nightclub, a kebab, burger or chippy and a two-mile ride home in a taxi to determine Britain's cheapest nights out.
They found that around the UK as a whole, the average cost was £29. In London, however, the same night out costs a whopping £46 - more than twice as much as Bradford.
The total cost of a night out in Bradford was £21.25, comprising of £3-a-pint or glass of wine, £7-a-cocktail, £2 for club entry, £5 for a kebab, and £4.25 for a two-mile taxi ride home.
One anonymous poster on aggregation site Student Hut doesn't rate the city highly however. They penned: "Food's good but everything else is just like smackheads and big chavs innit so it's a bit sh**e tbh."
Another anonymous poster said: "Bradford gets a bad rep but it's actually decent place. Some beautiful views. Centenary square with the lights is gorgeous."

Bradford local Anna Lowe, 34, said she loved going out in the city - mainly due to the prices - and was shocked when she came down to London last year to see a West End show.
The English tutor said: “Bradford is a great place to go out in - the people are great and the prices are not off the scale rip off. When I went down to London last year to watch a show I couldn’t believe it when I was charged £13 for a large glass of wine.
“I looked at the barman and said I only wanted the one glass, and he said ‘That is the price of the one glass’ - I was genuinely shocked.”
Tudor Turiceanu, of Casino Alpha, said today that the scope of prices for a night out was ‘huge’ - with Bradford more than twice as cheap as London. The study by Casino Alpha found that the following cities offered the cheapest nights out.
Dundee in Scotland came in second with; £22.35 - £4.10-a-pint/glass of wine, £6-a-cocktail, £1 for club entry, £5.80 for a kebab, and £5.45 for a two-mile taxi ride home.
Sunderland came third with a total of £23.60 while, Chester costs £24.60 and York finished just afterwards.
And the most expensive were London at £46, Edinburgh at £33.20, followed by Brighton, Bath and Oxford.
