Occupying the premises of the long-closed Clothiers Arms, this pub opened in July 2021. Its unusual name derives from the fact that the current management part-owned the nearby Cobcar Sports & Social Club - they still have the same football and pool teams and a lot of their old regulars come to the new pub so they wanted the Cobcar name to live on. Inside is a single space it what was presumably once a two-roomed layout. There are attractive rough timber dados all round the walls which are painted purple above. The middle section features a dance floor inset with records (not real). The single real ale changes regularly, however cask beer may not always be available.
