Could someone explain to me why Barnsley hasn't got one decent boozer

Why the **** though

Did they change the name from the White Hart?

 

Sod that then.

</p>

Probably got the wrong blocks in the urinals as well. </p>

 

AW COME ON nUDGER,
I THINK YOU FANTIASTIC
THE BEST,
COMEON nUDGER

 

A '***** hunt'

Out hunting, for *****.

 

RE: Give the White Heart @ Penistone a go Nudger

Get there early as most chairs and tables don't match, little room at 3 quid a pint. Bring back Sam Thacker!

missing from town centre

.....what is missing is somewhere you can sit have a civilised drink and a chat on a weekend without having your eardrums being busted......

but unfortunately this kind of place wont have the tills ringing like £3.50 bottles of WKD etc...

 

RE: missing from town centre

Silkstone Inn seems to do ok without the ear-blasting music

 

RE: Sod that then.

Perhaps you don't care about tradition and history, but, really what does "White Heart" mean? It doesn't mean owt whereas "White Hart" does have significance. Probably someone who thought "hee hee...look they missed the 'e' out of heart on the sign, bloody idiots!"

 

RE: missing from town centre

yeah true, its a Spoons so no music....I meant somewhere a little more upmarket though not one thats full at 10am selling 99p pints of IPA....

You know a bottle of wine some comfy leather couches and some ambient music....(cue gay abuse)....

 

Haven't been round Barnsley for years so couldn't comment

Quite lucky here as we've got a wide range of bar - young and trendy , proper old fashion pubs and the typical big pub chain ones as well - Whetherspoons , Yate's etc

 

It's too small in fact

Very difficult to find a seatin the Silkstone at the weekend....

 

there's quite a lot of ground between caring about tradition and history...

</p>

...and being a professional nit-picker.</p>

 

RE: Haven't been round Barnsley for years so couldn't comment

hey,Liverpool Red,are,yer a real Scoser,are yer
why do isk, well i had some good pals from
Liverpool, and if i could just find one alive,espeddially
if they called him Middleton, oh id love to know he is around
go on ask me why

 

Ring O' Bells - Silkstone

Real fire, real ales, real pub.

 

Because selling cheap crap at sky high prices to fools is easy

and nothing takes much thought or looking after. Keeping and selling decent beer is hard work.

Places selling good beer take a while to establish a regular clientele.

 

It's ok - you just don't get it so have to resort to personal insults nt

 

Liverpool Red.............thats what I'm saying

OK, Liverpool is a big city and so is Sheffield and Leeds so there is bound to be more choice than Barnsley.
But surely Barnsley can have 2 or 3 decent boozers with character, good decor and a good atmosphere
Look at Sheffield there are the usual loud music pubs but theres absolutly loads of boozers with the old fashioned character, good decor and selling good beer. Surely in Barnsley there is room for 2 or 3 of this kind of boozer.
But there is absolutly nothing. 230,000 people and not one decent boozer.

Probably the best boozer in Barnsley is the Witherspoons at Wombwell. And thats a characterless modern(ish) building with a modern interior

 

RE: The Talbot at Mapp...

...does decent food and is selling real ale - Timothy Taylor's Landlord and Bishop's Tipple at the minute. Decent atmosphere too.

 

No Bob ... Barnsley born and bred but go on then why? nt
