The venue features an extensive lineup of exclusive European beers and real ales, alongside food.
The “warm and inviting taphouse” is the sister venue of The Distillery, also in Tileyard North, is another venture for the husband and wife team Victoria and Gary Ford.
Victoria said: “We are proud to be offering Wakefield something different.
“Our selection of beers are handpicked by us, in collaboration with Swinkles Family Brewery, and we are both excited to share these products with the local community.”
The taphouse will pour a rotating selection of beers sourced from across Europe, some of which are only featured in a handful of venues across the UK.
There will also be a selection of British hand pulls and a lineup of events on the bar’s three 65-inch televisions.
Gary said: “We are particularly excited about our beer flight offering.
"We wanted to showcase the beers and reflect the artistry of our brewers; it’s all about flavour, exploration, and a little bit of adventure in every glass.”
The venue added: “With its unique concept, carefully curated drinks menu, and friendly, community-focused atmosphere, The Continental Taphouse is poised to become a vibrant new addition to Wakefield’s ever-evolving hospitality landscape.”
Meanwhile, a series of concerts are set to be held in summer at Tileyard North, with indie rock act the Vaccines as the first headliner.
The band will take to the stage on Sunday, August 30.
