Drinks & Nightlife

Popular nearby river river-view pub with tasty dine-in and takeout food (and pre-covid, a notoriously awesome Wednesday evening open stage - hoping it comes back soon). Being on the corner at the entrance to Wakefield it really feels like “downtown”, and you can even bring your (well-behaved) dog on the patio!
