Our final update for the time being goes back to everybody's old favourite. Rooftop Gardens and Casanova's are as much a part of Wakefield as is its rugby teams. When the now defunct Buzz took over the empty Mustang's and turned it in to Kooky's, this was a great relief for most people in the city old enough to remember the "good days".

A new bar at the time of writing the guide book to the Westgate Run was Bar XII, this pub now appears to have closed its doors. Perhaps it is still open, can somebody confirm or deny the case.
