a good old fashioned style pub but with a fantastic choice of beer, ales & spirits. A great atmosphere and friendly & knowledgeable staff. would recommend a visit!

Visited yesterday afternoon and met a very friendly and knowledgeable bar tender. I tried 3 of their 95 whiskies, all recommended by the bar man. All 3 were exceptionally high standard. A smooth Taiwanese whisky to start, an unusual smoked whisky from Sweden and the best til last, a lovely whisky from the US of A. I washed these down with 2 pints of good quality Barnsley Bitter. I will be going back, you can't get bored with that much whisky on hand.

Nice to be back with the same great ale standards I have enjoyed on every visit here since 2010 when I discovered Sheffields ale potential.

Great pub, great beer & cider with fantastic staff to help you wash it all down
