Pubs / Bars in Barnsley

Barnsley is a large town in South Yorkshire which has more pubs/clubs and bars per square mile than any other town in the UK. Most of these can be found in the town centre itself and range from traditional pubs to modern nightclubs. ~What is there?~ I've tried to count and I think there are about 34 pub,bars and clubs in the town centre (I've probably missed some though!) All of these are within around 5 minutes walk of each other and all have something different to offer. I think it would be a little time-consuming to go into detail about each individual bar so here are some examples of what can be expected. The Blah Bar A modern but ...  Read the complete review

Situated across the road from the town hall this bar is easy to find and ideal for the first and last drink before you hit the clubs! After downing a couple of pints of Stella, listening to a mixture the newset tunes, we move on to the Walkabout only 10 yards down the road.

If your not from round Barnsley way you will not realise just how great Barnsley’s pub scene is. I think in a recent poll in a popular magazine Barnsley came in either 2nd or 3rd place in the country for towns with the most pubs within 1 square mile of the town centre. Over the last few years the number of pubs seems to be increasing very quickly seems the only business in Barnsley that can make a profit are pubs. I will try and tell you about some of the pubs I drink in of course I will not be talking about every pub in Barnsley town centre as they are just too many. I tend to like to start of in Butterfields which is a new ...  Read the complete review
