Built in 1877 and Grade II listed, the Wakefield & Barnsley Union Bank, now repurposed as a business venue, occupies a prominent location in Wakefield town center, serving its residents. This expansive venue features two flawlessly designed bars, along with a centrally located large multi-screen displaying daily football and sports fixtures. Throughout the establishment, numerous televisions are strategically placed, each equipped with up-to-date music and sports channels, providing patrons with intimate viewing areas amidst a lively atmosphere.
The business operates with two distinct tempos throughout the day. It serves as a robust community pub during daytime hours and transitions into the heart and soul of Wakefield in the evening. With its late license, the venue offers late-night entertainment into the early hours, further solidifying its role in the local nightlife scene
This business is prominently situated within the city center, thriving during late-night hours surrounded by shops and other establishments that offer both daytime drinking and late-night entertainment. Housed in an iconic building, the ground floor features a variety of seating options including high-rise chairs, low-level seating, booths, and private areas, all equipped with televisions. The bar itself spans a considerable length, offering a wide selection of drinks and facilitating promotions on beverages.
A DJ booth positioned on the ground floor serves as a focal point for evening entertainment, complemented by state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems throughout the entire establishment.
On the first floor, several private booths each feature their own power points and televisions, catering to daytime patrons and workers seeking a conducive environment. This level also provides a vantage point overlooking the mezzanine, which in turn overlooks the bustling ground floor. Additionally, this floor houses toilets and a distinctive, iconic bar that enhances the venue's appeal and serves as a valuable asset during evening operations.
Given that this business is situated beneath one of the regional offices of the Stonegate Pub Group, there is no on-site accommodation available. However, potential operators interested in this opportunity could negotiate a higher percentage of profits or an accommodation allowance. This would enable them to select and fund their own accommodation within a reasonable distance from the business premises. Such arrangements can provide flexibility and ensure that the operator can reside conveniently close to their place of work while managing the venue effectively.
