In its heyday, Wetherby had seventeen [[pubs]] in its town centre. Only eleven now remain, of which ten are still open. The town's oldest surviving pub, the ''Brunswick Hotel'', closed in 2003 and reopened as ''Harris' Bar''; in 2012, it reopened again as ''The Brunswick'' after refurbishment by [[Enterprise Inns]]. The ''Three Legs'' public house closed in 2007 and became ''bar Thr3'', Wetherby's first non smoking pub.<ref name="thr3">{{cite news |newspaper=Wetherby News |title=Tough stance on Wetherby pub smoke |date=25 May 2007 |url=http://www.wetherbynews.co.uk/viewarticle.aspx?sectionid=9146&articleid=290771 |access-date=6 August 2019}}</ref>

During the [[Second World War]], the ''Angel'' public house served German and Italian [[prisoners of war]] from the nearby camps and, being the only pub in the town to do so, attracted some controversy as a result.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/39/a3335339.shtml|title=WW2 People's War – A Kind Thought<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=13 December 2018}}</ref>
