🚨 WE HAVE MOVED OUT OF PONTEFRACT MARKET HALL! 🚨

Our bottleshop has moved into the bar on Mauds Yard, so everything’s under one roof! You’ll still find the same extensive range of PerfectDraft kegs and 200-plus cans and bottles to drink in or take away. The bar is open six days a week too, pouring from eight rotating draught taps alongside wines, ciders and spirits.

We’ve not gone far - look for us opposite Cromwells half-way down the alley between Christopher Brown Jewellers and Headhunters Salon on Market Place.

A massive thank you to everyone who’s supported us in the Market Hall over the last four years. We’ll miss it, but we can’t wait to welcome you to our new home on Mauds Yard! 🍺

Opening Hours:
Mon: Closed
Tues - Thur: 10:30 - 17:00
Fri - Sat: 10:30 - 22:00
Sun: 12:00 - 18:00
