Advantages: ALWAYS BUSY

Disadvantages: ALWAYS BUSY

All the reviews are now out of date. The best place now is the centre of town there is the Theatre Bar, Cross Keys, Bar Cairo but the 'in place' at the moment and I think for the unseaforsable future is the Barrow Arms.

Taken over in the last year by a young couple, it is clean, friendly and full to overflowing of a week end. Late closing means they are probably the busiest pub in town most nights. Anyone who is out seems to go there. They have Karaoke on at one end of the pub for those who like to join in but this does not intrude on the rest of the pub for those who like to chat.

Drinks are not overpriced and they pull a good pint.

It gets very busy and is standing room only every week end and you can stay here until closing time at 2pm or can make the short walk to Cornwallis street nicknamed by locals as 'Gaza Strip'

It had a reputation before the new landlords took over as a bit rough but they have definately turned this corner with doormen and lively entertainment it is full of friendly locals out for a good night.

I am a local and everyone I know loves this pub.
