user reviews of the Vine Tree, Wakefield

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

UPDATE. Building work at the Vine Tree and planning app for kitchen and large dining room so may be making a comeback but possibly as a restaurant?

Now closed. It has closed before and reopened but this looks like the end!

An imposing brick built pub, situated on the edge of a busy roundabout, just beyond the northern edge of the city. On entering I was expecting a traditional layout but the place seems to have a minor identity crisis- it can�t decide whether it�s a pub or a wine bar.

The two front rooms have been largely opened up into one space. A third room to the right of the bar houses a pool table. The louvred blinds and the minimalist look don�t quite work, if anything the pub just feels spartan. A couple of wall benches covered in duct tape, were just plain shabby.
Two real ales on offer: John Smith�s Cask and Leeds Brewery �Best�. The �Best� was clean tasting well poured and served nicely cool. The young friendly barmaid topped up my pint without asking.

Surprisingly lively for a Wednesday night, with a good atmosphere. Trade was undoubtedly boosted by a football club using the place as their post-training watering hole. However, there were enough other punters there to suggest the Vine is a decent community local.

Food is available, but I couldn�t spot a menu to describe what�s on offer. Pizzas appear to be a speciality.

There is a large grassed drinking area to the side of the pub.

Large overhead Sky T.V.

The landlord must feel he�s doing something right to have such a busy pub midweek. However, I still came away thinking the pub has unfulfilled potential. Undoubtedly solid and friendly, but just lacking something to make me want to go back.

Nice pub with reasonable selection of beers and does a damn good Bloody Mary. Very good food, can get busy on a lunchtime cos of the proximity of the council offices across the road - advisable to book ahead if you want Sunday lunch for more than 2.
