Pubs in Penistone, South Yorkshire*

The place to go for a lazy afternoon, pub quiz or last call

You can tell us more about Penistone.

• Too many to mention- theres all new ones at Bridge End- go there
• The Rose and Crown was refurbed about 5 years ago and was nice when it was first done but bear in mind, this is probably the busiest pub in Penistone, so it needs doing again now. The Spread Eagle is extremely smokey and attracts some unsavioury characters, but usually provides great entertainment provided free by the village idiots. The Old Crown is sort of stuck in a timewarp in the front bar but in the back room, thats been recently decorated and so its more up to date in there, pity its usually dead.
• the white hart is now a posh wine bar and the bridge inn has been dun up into wat looks like a nice bar.
• White Hart/ SPREAD.
• Cubley Hall is probably the Classiest. though its a bit predencious (excuse my spelling though im sure some1 will correct it) The Bridge is pretty trendy though a bit blan. but for a night of erm culture try the white heart with bricks flying through the window frequently. The bar staff got held up at gun point a couple of years ago and the Land lords sheep is often seen pondering around the pub. But its quite a dive much like the Spred. The Wentworth is also a bit divey though its the only place to play pool and the pool table is a bit sh*t but its cheap so no complaints!!!
• Spread Eagle has become (almost) civilised these days. Wentworth has the best real ale.
• 'The Bridge' has shut down and is now boarded up.
• The ever-popular Cubley Hall, famed for Friday night madness for Penistone Grammar 6th Formers (only the over 18s, mind you) has left many of us with fond memories of throwing up in the car park and falling over the walls.
• there are three pubs at the top of penistone .there is the spred eagel more for the older end of the age scale and there the old crown this is a lovey pup and used by all ages 18-100 and then there the roseen crow thats as a good room for partys weddings.
• The Wentworth maybe used to have some of the more undesirable element, but now it's just grand. If you want to play pool, then you just about always get on the table straight away. Beer's not bad either.
• White Hart. If the landlord, Sam, doesn't insult you, you're not worth insulting, it goes with the territory. Beer's Nitro-keg 'smooth' Eg. John Smith's, and a bit cold (£1.70 a pint in May 2000)but the place is very homely and comfortable. Sam doesn't take any sh** from anyone. The Wentworth Arms seems to attract the cauliflower-ear-and-broken-nose brigade. I've heard that they don't let you in without a tatoo. Three pubs are close to each other: Pimply people who don't shave seem to gravitate to the Spread Eagle, which is a little on the seedy side. The Old Crown has a good disco at weekends, in the back room, and comfort in the main room. It has that sort of atmosphere where everything stops when someone comes in, like a Western saloon (Stones/Tetley). They serve food on weekday lunchtimes, nothing very adventurous but not bad. The Rose and Crown has a bit of a disco at one end of the room at weekends, which means that it is possible to hold a conversation at the other end (Stones). It is a bit sticky but not as bad as the Spread Eagle, where you wipe your feet on the way out (Tetley). Just outside Penistone is Cubley Hall, which often has a pretentious, pinstriped clientele, the sort with the personalised number plates. As the only local pub with food on every day, frankly, the food is boring and never changes but the range of beer is very good. All real ale, not a 'smooth' in sight, if a bit too cold. One particular bar woman there can freeze you with a glance, so behave!
