8 Ballers Sports bar & Grill

You're walking into the kind of place that gets rammed on match days – the sort of bar where everyone's watching the same game and half the room groans in unison. 8 Ballers sits on Stanley Road in the heart of Wakefield's drinking quarter, and it's clearly doing something right with 130 five-star reviews. It's a sports bar that actually invests in the food side, which means the grill isn't just for show. Think proper meals that don't taste like an afterthought, served while you're keeping one eye on whatever's playing overhead.
