jemson   10 #1 Posted September 11, 2018 Anyone been? It`s near Pic House Social.  Seems to add even more to the area in terms of decent going out options! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
philyyy   10 #2 Posted September 14, 2018 Been a few times. It's nice but very cosy. Not sure about their cider selection (I don't drink lager etc) but they seemed open to changing things when I chatted to the manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
belperite   11 #3 Posted September 14, 2018 Anyone been? It`s near Pic House Social.  Yes. It's pretty small, not a massive beer selection or much particularly crafty. It seems more of a pre-bar before going for a meal at the Broady or going into town, than a destination in it's own right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bad_Hair_Day   10 #4 Posted September 15, 2018 Been a couple of times, really like it and the food is amazing and the staff are lovely. It does get a bit noisy though when it’s busy, the sound just seems to bounce around, quite echoey. Worth a visit though if you’re in the area.

Baron99   812 #5 Posted September 15, 2018 I'm going to pop in sometime for a look.  I've had a look at the reviews on the Internet. Can't copy the like over from the Google reviews but one customer states he was charged £6.50 for a pint & couldn't see a price list.  There's been an apologetic response from the owner stating that none of their beers are that price & this was a mistake they'll look into & if the guy pops in again, there's a free pint for him. Seems reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
GinTreeS7 Â Â 18 #6 Posted September 17, 2018 A purchase of 2 Asahi Japenese lagers set me back about 9.80 I think :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Fudbeer   12 #7 Posted September 19, 2018 Used to be a legal requirement to have a price list but surprising how many don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Baron99   812 #8 Posted October 7, 2018 Popped into the Barrowboy, 1pm (ish) on Sat for a nosey & a drink. They've only took half the retail space of what used to be Shah's Supermarket / Stokes' paint shop.  It's a funny place? I'd say more cafe that sells alcohol rather than micro pub that sells food. Paid £1.90 for a half of Heathen which is on a par with what I paid in the Railway Hotel on Bramall Lane a few weeks earlier.  Get about 25 people in & it'd be full to bursting & early afternoon, there seemed to be more people eating than drinking alcohol. A couple of families & even a couple with a dog, made the place quite lively. Wouldn't say it's a place where you'd spend hours as the ale selection on draft amounts to 5 choices plus Guinness but the do have a well stocked small bar with plenty of spirits.  Not a bad place to meet up then move on.

GinTreeS7 Â Â 18 #9 Posted October 8, 2018 Yes, they do cocktails and gins too , so if one was staying in the local area, it could be a place to finish up the night in. Â Does anyone know what the plans are for the other half - the space beside Barrowboy? Â An authentic fish and chippy would be nice, or maybe a small wine bar? Â Also whats happening the Vault antique place opposite on corner of Sheldon now its vacated again .. that would make a wicked wine bar :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Now a Greek restaurant. Edited October 8, 2018 by Baron99 Amendments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
