• ESMERELDS GO DE
• fuck what can you say about the pubs! there is so many and there all pretty shit but they serve some wonderful overpriced warm piss water! but we would'nt have it any other way! where else in the world can you get as drunk as you like and still buy more vodka! what more can you say? im in aus at the mo and you can hardly buy a beer if you had one a week last tuesday in case your drunk and start enjoying yourself! fucking convict cunts!
• Full House Monk Bretton
• My wife & I visited the PACK HORSE in Royston last week to have a look at the alterations & sample the food.I must say it was a pleasure to find out it was compltely no smoking anywhere inside.Nice to go home not smelling like an ashtray.The food was very nice & served with a smile.I'll be visiting again with friends.10/10
• hare n hounds hoyland common the beers shite and the food is now even worse the pubs a complete joke and of your happy drinking crap well overpriced ale while smelling dodgey snap its the place for you ..or why not score next door in the prince as dark as a black hole stinks like n arsehole but great for a underage druggie with money to spend...
• The new weatherspoons pub on market hill looks good although a bit dark. Good area outside though. Time we had somewhere decent to go when its hot and in need of a drink
• Well, the corner pin used to be a laugh, but its crap now, most pubs in the CENTRE are shite. They're overpriced poncey places that the breweries love because idiot younger generations with more money than sense (and that's rare in Barnsley) spend £4 a bottle on witch piss rather than supporting their local communities by boozing sensibly in the local (but saying that, even they're dear now) - best thing is - buy some tinnies and stay in... cheaper and less hassle. Then have a blowout once a month or so... I do and it works wonders.
• walkabout
• walkabout all ways good in thier. but if men in drags your thing why not go to funny gals or as its known the auld thearter
• darly on highstreet
• Assembly is the best place to start but they need to give it a bit of a face lift, Blah Bar and Lucorum are nice stylish bars but full of pretentious people. Avoid most places on Wellington Street apart from Corner Pin, Shakespeare and Retro. Do not even attempt Bodegas, Silvers or Treadles, they're dirty and don't attract exactly the classiest or most mature clientele!
• Walkabout (enter via fire exit)
• grayhound then when u cum out u can get 1 on slapers hu sit art side co op, to do u rand bk, it onli cost a cig
• Got to be assembly n butterfields has now shut it has been for ages. try walkabout

• THE BOOZE CRUISER - CRACKING COMPANY. NOT THE BEST CLUBS SO IF YOU WANT TO CARRY ON AFTER TIME THINGS CAN GO DOWNHILL FAST. FRIDAY, HALF 12 RANG AND GOT BEER DELIVERED CHILLED WITHIN HALF AN HOUR. THUMBS UP AND I WILL USE THEM A LOT MORE FROM NOW. SEEMS NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW OF THEM SO CALL 08000 811833 FOR BEER.
• Everyone should go to the Ticket Office, not all at once though I've only got one pair of hands. It's the best bar in town and has the best atmosphere. Please note that if you stand at the bar and shout your order at me chances are I you wont get served!
• Panama Joes The Arches
• i love the wine bar (treadills) i could stay in there all nite if i ad a grand for my drinks
• The best night out in Barnsley is Wednesday nights! The Assembly and Lacorum are fantastic pubs to spend your Wednesday night in, the music is really good and i always have a good night!
• smelly gate the place 2 be on sunday night 4 lock in
• The Theatre does kick ass on a night out with the ladies, cos the bouncers are great and so is the audience.... i mean men!
• arches! gud crowd, usually regulars so a hard clique 2 break in 2!
• panamoa joes is ok, has a american pool table which is confusing sports bar is cheap with a gud pool table
• royal oak wombwell soon to be renamed jimmy's
• The local bouncers outside the Lancaster Bar, the Number 1 bar and the number 7 bar should be thrown into a cage and have banana thrown at them.
• The local pubs are very busy on a Friday and Saturday night, due to Barnsley having a very high boozy culture, social life in this town revolves around the local pubs. The majority of locals drink until they drop, so business for most pubs in this town is good. The down side is that these pubs develop the Barnsley culture atmosphere, where the people are loud and drunks. Unless you are Barnsley born and bred, Barnsley is not a great place for non-locals, Barnsley does not welcome non-Barnsley people, and are certainly not friendly towards non-locals, the people remain within their clicks and groups, most grin at all who will look at them, most even grin at each other.
• The bouncers at the LANCASTER BAR in Barnsley Town centre are racist thick butch dingles, they cannot conduct themselfs in a public place, they shout racist remarks about the colour of people skins, if they are different to their own, particulary latin and oriental looking people. But who are these thicko low intelligent bouncers to judge anybody, for christ sake they have to stand on a door looking hard and being thick to earn money, what is the alternative for these, a job in a warehouse?
• The local pubs remind you of the animal cages at Blackpool Zoo.
• Belfrys has a good selection of cocktails but drink up quick because the music is crap!! Icebar plays the best music but ther isnt many seats. Youll often see a 40 sumthing year old man dancing/stripping trying to re-live his youth (a good laugh!)
• bodegas
• Best pub to start your night in is The Assembly and at some point in the night you have to visit the Belfry Bar for a cocktail. The worst pubs are definately Bodegas and Maceys!
• Chenelles. sit in corner were its dark wi ya bloke!!!!
• Engineers in Higham is the best pub in Barnsley visit it only if u r not a dickhead this pub has the best landlord and landlady fuckin ever it int a dive n int full of skinhead wankers so for a nice place to visit get your arse down there
• BUTTERFIELDS!
• No where is good anymore. The least wank is Bodegas if u want a pub not a bar.
• courthouse is a decent pub, along with chennels. they got rid of tommy wallocks, that wasnt a gud thing
• courthouse near bus station, they sell cheap booze n its gud to go to before a match. chennels is decent n all
• Style! Since when was barnsley known for stylish pubs and bars. The only reason they don't clean the puke off the carpets is because the carpets would disintegrate on cleaning.
• They're all the same - crap, no class, and fill up at weekends with abusive, ill-mannered and uncultured slappers, and shaven skulls with single digit IQ's whose favourite occupations are drinking, smoking, making threats, fighting and more fighting, and think they deserve a medal if they get arrested. The pubs and girls in Wakefield and Leeds are 1,000 times better than around here.
• Where do i start. I would have to say that if it is style you are after then the fashionable place to go is the la corum. it is round the back of buttys. It is very nice inside and has some really cool seats upstairs. Only down fall is that i think it is the dearest pub in tarn.
• Hare & hounds on Hoyland Common is good, prince on common... sammies is good only cos it serves underage kids.
• you cant beat a good vodka n coke from the prince of wales in hoyland common, but the lager and lime at the hare and hounds in hoyland common is even better
• A hundred pubs, and all exactly the same - full of tossers with shaved heads all trying to out-drink their mates thinking it makes them look hard, and looking for fights with anyone who looks like they've got a brain. Awful, awful, awful pubs, full of awful, awful, awful people.
• Union again. Cheap and cheerful, but only when compared to the Gates of Hell.
• The Room is the best new pub in Barnsley.
• Thez nowt like duin a sesh Fridy, Setdy or Sundy or all of em rarnd tarn. Cum hale or shine , places buzzin wi totty and footy mad lads. Top neet off wi a fish supper frum Welly Street,a Kebab frum K2 or for't lads wi a bit a cash, an Injun at India Gardens. Barnsley folk are honest and loyal.
• The King's Head in Mapplewell offers a decent drink at a good price along with friendly staff.
• Most pubs have drinks around £1/£1.50 so y' cant go wrong anywhere really, I do recoment Ice Bar, Browns, Durties, Firkin, Treedles, Tommys, Bodegas, Quasies, Beach, Sports Bar, Yatses..... Most of em are close togeather which in good n'all
• Someone wrote here that there are so many pubs in Barnsley that there must be one to suit your taste whatever it might be.... WRONG! All the pubs are the same - I should know, I lived there for 24yrs. They now all play the same shite dance music crap at 200db, and are decorated with some pseudo-Victorian chipboard furniture, are part of a chain of identical bland pubs, or are another MFI nightmare with a pooltable. Where are the rock/alternative pubs? The Alabama Alligator was knocked down, The Manx has turned into an old biddie's pub, it's now all bland bland bland. And if you're one of the thousands to go and trawl round it all every Friday night to blow your week's wages because, well, that's just what you do in Barnsley, then your life must be pretty bland too.
• The one redeeming feature about Barnsley is that it does have some decent pubs. Butterfields is nice, Court House is the place to go if you want a cheap beer and no music blasting in your lugholes.
• Has to be TREDDLES WINE BAR (If you're visiting from outa town ask 'weers wine bar?' (If you aren't from Tarn then yudda probably put 'weers t'winebar - completely wrong!!!)
• That is not entirely true, although I am not going to mention any particular Pub there is one or two that has served minors.
• Try the- Draycotts. Firkin. Butterfields. Orchard. Maceys. Corner Pin. Mustangs. Sports Bar. Hedon Rock. sort of route. Tarn peaks on Wellington St.
• For fun - Shakespear on Kareake night For Totty - The Wine Bar (Chicks in short skirts dancing on the tables :)
• The Manx was THE PLACE for all the wierdos and rockers in the late 80's. It was excellent. I went back there recently and I actually filled up with tears - all the nights we had, all the good times.... Now it's a crap old biddy's MFI-decorated craphole.
• See clubs! Any building on Wellington street or even Panama Joe's. Dodworth and Monk Bretton have quieter pub networks. Euan
• Far too many to mention, some good some bad but definitely worth checking out for yourself if you fancy a break from the old routine. A bit of a let down after 11pm but by then you should've had plenty to drink (60p a shot in Brownes, £3 something for a treble vodka red bull in Corner Pin) and not be too fussy. Admittedly not all the pubs will be your kind of place but (heres another dig at the people who like to slate Barnsley) this just goes to show that Barnsley caters well for it's diverse population and anyone who can't find a couple of pubs they like and enjoy a night out in Barnsley...........UNLUCKY!! Idoubt very much your presence will be missed.
• J.D Weatherspoons... no deafening music and CHEAP bottles!
• EXCELLENT DRINKING TOWN WITH LOADS OF PUBS ALL WITHIN 10 YARDS OF THE NEXT ONE,SOME VERY ATTRACTIVE YOUNG WOMEN(AND SOME NOT SO YOUNG)ALL IN ALL AN EXCELLENT TOWN FOR A GREAT NIGHT OUT. P.S. THE DICKHEAD WHO WROTE THE ORIGINAL REPORT ABOUT BARNSLEY AND SLATED IT IS OBVIUOSLY NOT A TRUE BORN AND BRED BARNSLEY NATIVE,SO PLEASE DONT BELIEVE ALL THE NEGATIVE REPORTS THIS IDIOT HAS TO SAY.
• Only pub in Barnsley town centre to get a good pint of Barnsley Bitter is 'Durty O Dwyers'. Yes it is yet another 'irish' pub but the ber is good. Give it a miss on match days thouth as it is full of away supporters.
• The newest pub - the Theatre is quite nice.
• More pubs than you can shake a stick at. Most are crap but some are OK. Check Draycotts in Shambles Street. and The Union Bar in Eastgate. Doing the full pub crawl can be quite a laugh, and if you get to end you won`t be able to stand up! Oh yeah, check out my mate Sean's Wednesday night in Quasimodo's (three of them Djing the better end of house.)
