The Redoubt

Head down Horbury Road and you'll find yourself in one of Wakefield's best-kept drinking spots. The Redoubt pulls in regulars who know their bitter from their lager, and the kind of crowd that actually wants to chat rather than stare at their phones. It's the place where you can sink a proper pint without any fuss or pretence—just good beer, solid pub grub, and that rare thing: a room full of people who seem genuinely happy to be there. The sort of pub that doesn't need to shout about itself.
