The Old Print Works

You walk into The Old Print Works and immediately get why locals have rated it 4.5 stars without question. It's got that authentic pub feel that's become rarer than hen's teeth in Wakefield—the kind of place where the landlord knows what you drink and the regulars have claimed their spots at the bar. The exposed brick and industrial touches nod to its heritage without screaming for attention, and there's real warmth to how it's run. Whether you're popping in for a pint after work or settling in for the evening, you're surrounded by actual Wakefield residents doing the same thing, not tourists looking for Instagram moments.
