New wine bar Stir Day and Night opens in Wakefield
A new wine bar has opened in the city centre.
Stir Day and Night co-owner Daz Stevens describes the new Wood Street bar as having an art deco style.
Daz said Stir has proved a hit with customers after opening last month.
He said: "It's really popular, doing really well.
"We have got a little bit of a different vibe going off. It's a little bit 1920s speakeasy type.
"We have got a good wine offering and a nice cocktail menu and we do probably one of the best Guinness's around here, according to Guinness."
Daz, a self-employed tax lawyer, has opened Stir with his wife Dawn Hammond-Stevens and their business partner Jo Reddell.
Dawn is an accountant and has run Hammond and Co accounting practice and tax law office in Normanton for 18 years.
Jo is a dance teacher and runs Dance House next to Hammond and Co in Normanton.
Daz said: "We want to do Stir socials where people who are on their own or people who have come in to the area and want to make new friends can meet."
He said they also want to start 'coffee connections' where local businesses, tradesmen and sole traders can meet up and network in an informal setting.
