Robin Hood Inn in Wakefield

Great selection of beers, friendly staff

Best pint of Guinness in Pontefract

A pub how pubs used to be (but without the smoke obviously).

A nice pub with an excellent ale selection. Can get busy at times

How can you not be impressed by this pub retaining much of its original charm and character. The beers are from the Kirkstall family of beers so you can be sure of quality. The bar staff are so friendly, it’s no wonder this bar is in the 2025 Good Beer Guide.

Excellent pub. Lovely real ale. Always made to feel welcome.

What a hidden gem! Years since I've been and the beer was always good, but how it's changed & for the better! Great selection of beers at prices to surprise Leeds drinkers. Great atmosphere & loads of character. Went on a Friday, but intrigued by the regular events on Thursday and Sunday that get some surprising guests of music, literature & art to visit Pontefract. If you had told me when I was younger, I would never have believed you!

Excellent pub just off the centre of Pontefract. Great selection of beers and alcohol, marvellous beer garden.

Great beer garden if weathers nice,good range of European beers

Great pub, one of the few in ponte where music isn't needed for there to be an atmosphere. Highly recommended! I posted the top part a few years ago and the same is still true in 2024

Very nice pub with families atmosphere and with live music

My go to pub, best pub and best Guinness in the area by a mile

Came for brunch today with family and it was delicious, the pancakes and French toast are incredible, lovely coffees and brilliant service and staff ❤️👌

Went up to the loft space for a CAT CLUB event. The music was unbelievable in smallish upfront & personal space. Drinks were a good price and the pub had a great atmosphere.

Great traditional pub with a lovely beer garden put the back.

Just had drinks couldn't move let alone find a seats.

First time coming here very relaxed environment staff very friendly & helpful

Lovely place, very busy, great atmosphere.

Wonderful cosy pub with a good selection of drinks

Bit dark in here for me, but if that your thing you will love it. Probably inkeeping with the building to be fair but a little bit more illumination would be nice.

just a great old pub lovely different drinks very old building class

Visited the Pub for the first time 29/10/23 to attend a live music event upstairs in the attic which is the Cat Club. Michael Messer and Chaz Jankal did a fantastic acoustic set of songs. The Pub itself is a really lovely place inside with a great selection of beers and the staff are very welcoming and friendly to everyone. The Cat Club is great and the venue is very atmospheric, friendly and fun. The live sound is absolutely excellent. I would recommend this lovely pub and music venue to everyone who loves a proper pub and loves live music.

Only called for a drink while out walking. Really good selection of beers.

Great pub in the centre of Pontefract.

I called in today on my own with my little dog. I was made so welcome by the lovely couple. The customers too were very welcoming, even though I havent been in there for maybe 20 years. I would highly reccomend this quaint little pub and I will be sure to visit again. Thank you for making me feel welcome. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

On arrival the landlord gave me a guided tour. Really nice regulars in a comfy setting, log fired in the winter months with a good selection of beers to choose from. There are live bands entertaining during each month with tastes for all kinds of music. Nice start to the night when visiting Ropergate or a snug afternoon tipple, definitely one to go to!

Absolutely spot on traditional pub. The landlord & his family are super welcoming. The atmosphere is spot on & they do so much for local community groups & charities. Highly recommended ✅

New landlord Lee is a lovely guy and a top class landlord , following in the previous guys (Dean) footsteps .

On a busy intersection but a nice beer 'garden' out back and good choice of hand pumped and draft ales

Lovely place and plenty of beer choices .quaint little rooms and candle lit. Very atmospheric. We'll worth a visit. Staff and people very friendly also.

Awesome little pub, never disappoints! Good selection of excellent beers, cool vibes... Just an all round cool boozer

Popped in for a quick drink. Stayed for another. Wish I had a pub like this where I live!

Great place, great staff and lovely atmosphere. Would visit again!

Great beer garden but abit too dark inside

Liked it.. nice and dark around the back

Brilliant beer/ale/cider selection.

Smashing pub, great range of real ales unfortunately no house beers. As a brewery as well a bit disappointed.

They do not serve food, but it has a great atmosphere and it us very popular with people of all ages. Once a month they have entertainment upstairs in what is known as the CAT club. They also have a quiz once a week.

Nice place but drinks are a bit pricey. The bars on Ropergate run is cheaper

Really nice ale drinkers pub with a fantastic back garden. Great for sunny evenings.

Fantastic pub great selection of real ale. Best beer garden by far... Great atmosphere.. Top Mark's all round

Great pub atmosphere, chilled out nice red wine 🍷, who could ask for more..

Excellent pub, super beer garden and quality beers. Minus points for jossticks inside gave me headache otherwise would be 5/5

Attended for a friends 60th Staff excellent, even though it was very busy. Great atmosphere Great music Spent with good friends Highly recommended

Great atmosphere and wide selection of ales

Just spent a lovely few hours in a room at top of the pub, which I didn't even know was there. Lovely atmosphere and really lovely polite staff. Would really recommend!

Great atmosphere mainly stayed in beer garden very pretty with the lights also had outdoor heaters it's got more plants in too

Love the varied choice of beers. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

Very warm and welcoming, a good pint too.

Great selection of well kept beer and Lagers and a proper pub, plus dog friendly.

Nice little corners to sit in . Very cosy open fire.

Great atmosphere, drinks and the cat club upstairs is a must to visit.

Sadly it has been sold so I expect it will nose dive when the present owners leave

Great beer and a great atmosphere.

Friendly, thriving pub with lovely staff and a great selection of beers. My pictures show the large upstairs room, where we attended a book launch by local author and TV presenter Ian Clayton. Excellent facilities

If you like good pubs come to the Robin Hood. If you like good ale come to the Robin Hood, I f you like amazing choices of ale, come to the Robin Hood if you like pleasant company in great surroundings, come to the Robin Hood. SIMPLES.😊

Superb pub great beers great atmosphere what else do you need

Fantastic snug pub with plenty of atmosphere

Great little pub which is dog friendly. There's a great enclosed outdoor space at the rear and an open one to the side (overlooking the road but we'll maintained, with seating ang planting, which gives it a lovely feel - much nicer than the plain old wall that is now hidden from view).

Great atmosphere, and sat with a right character called David gawthorpe.

Serving an array of real ales , and specialty ales Like daily bread, a pineapple ale And a liqurice ale Also Camden town,. IPA and becks Gives the feel of an olde style public house akin to those in York

Love this pub ...bar staff alert n always friendly ,nice rear pub garden..on a busy roundabout but hay ..if your drinking your not driving...

Lovely pub really nice atmosphere and good beer💯👍🏻

Great vibe. Good selections of drinks

Great beer courtyard, usually with music at weekends.

Amazing welcoming pub with lovely landlord/lady, great beer garden, fabulous decor and fairy lights inside and great selection of beers 🍻 thank you! 😊

Really great pub, great atmosphere.

Always good to call in when in Pontefract good selection of beers

This is a great pub. I started going here after lockdown and I cannot believe I had never been before. If you sit round the back, it's like being in a pub abroad. If you sit inside, it's so cosy. You can also sit round the front and watch yhe world go by. We always go here when we go out now. I'd highly recommend.

Great place to drink, eat and watch live music

Friendly local, nice outside area, great beers.

Fantastic atmosphere very friendly staff definitely recommend it

Too dark inside n not visible about the big beer garden

We like this pub very oldy worldly and very popular with young and older people

Nice pub atmosphere and a good selection of beers

Not for me only sells real ale . It's dark and dingie inside needs more lighting.

Love this little pub it's fab, brilliant atmosphere feels like you are in the middle of nowhere like a country pub

A proper pub...Great ambience, great beer, great people.

Great place for a drink, can get quite busy at times

Popped in with friends on Saturday. Ended up stopping three hours. Staff are friendly and helpful. Sat on the first floor near to a warm fire in a chilled environment. What more could you want. Would certainly recommend...

Real ale heaven in an old pub with so much atmosphere.

Nice pub on several floors with plenty of choice and friendly staff
