Just yards from the A61, lies this somewhat hidden genuine free house, themed to suit its location by the closed branch of the Aire and Calder and with memorabilia of the original Oakwell brewery. The last cask of their famous Barnsley Bitter was consumed here in 1977. Lively men's and women's pool and darts are successfully represented in local leagues. A concert room, available for hire, also hosts occasional live folk music. Once a good outlet for real ales but an April 2025 visit found none available as 'we were throwing away more than we could sell'.
