Old No 7 Pub in Barnsley

Looks good from the outside and very traditional inside. The staff and regulars were very welcoming, the Craft beers fab and at £3 a pint so cheap. Loved the warm crackling too. Would have stayed far longer if I could. I only wish it was nearer to where I live!

Had a great 4 pints if strong different lager I really enjoyed the lemon pint it was nice but very strong . The staff were friendly the music was good close to lots of pubs barnsley is a must for any party animals best night out in England

Def not a nice place you get barred through association talked to like dirt for no good reason the manager takes there grudges out on other people on you

New owners, total refurb and a very good choice of beers. Out with the Old, couldn't have gone downhill much further. In with the New. Pub full for first time in years. Definitely will be back.

Beer is not kept as well as when it was brewery owned. Have been several times this year and very hit and miss as to whether you get a good pint or not. Time to start going somewhere else.

Was out with family in Barnsley, called for a pint, one of the best selection of beers we have seen for years

Really gone downhill, don't sell thirds, dogs peeing against tables, place stinks a d can't even serve real ale in a proper glass! Ruined!

Plenty of choice of ale,beer ,cider n lager on tap and in fridge.Staff are fantastic and very knowledgeable,if your not sure ask there advice .You can try a sample before committing to a pint .

Wow what a lovely place! Very clean, loads of drink choices and dog friendly too. Great staff who offered water and treats for our dog!

Had visited prior to lockdown and really good atmosphere. Both times were football visits, large well behaved crowd of both sets of fans. Landlord keeping good discreet eye on things. Always amazing local and foreign beers. Well worth a visit.

We were there in Oct 2021, when takeover was about to happen. Pub bought from brewery. Cocky staff. One old face! One beer (IPA with no!) mega cloudy. Changed, eventually and one of old standard Acorns was rite! All doors open; easier for staff to go to cellar. But punters shivering! Heating off, so no surprise! Turners porkies on offer @ £1.40. That was food, plus crisps! Pie good. Not an Albert Hurst! He was maker in 70s.... Barnsley changes. I suppose that is life. Centre now bereft of real ale pubs except No. 7 and 2 Wetherspoons. That' life: I would have put it in French but spell gestapo will not let me!!!!

An excellent selection of the Acorn Brewery beers, from the company which owns the pub. Plus the usual selection of bottled beers and lagers.

A nice pub in the centre of Barnsley, serving ales from Acorn brewery, plus a selction of others also on hand-pull & tinned craft beers. The old fashioned (a compliment!) wooden fixtures give the place plenty of character. A pleasant surprise was the Celtic music `session` that takes place from 1pm on Sundays and which provided some good music to go with the good ale.

My first visit, following a recommendation from a pal. What a find! A traditional pub, which is clean, friendly and serves a range of excellent ales. A group of us visited prior to Albion's game against Barnsley. We were welcomed by locals and staff. Fantastic hospitality. Super place and people. Looking forward to our next visit. A tiny suggestion: Crusty cobs - charge what you like. :)

Called last night and the place was fairly busy with quiz night Had one pint which was nice , also called here Sunday and had a pint of funky monkey which was a cracking pint, but they had run out last night Called with my dog Nice atmosphere Would recommend

Imperial stout by Acorn brewery was stunning, came back after having great beers in this fantastic pub 2 years ago. I wish we had these prices down South...

Great beer, helpful staff. Really what a pub should be. Its clean and friendly no loud music so you can talk to each other.

Great real ale pub. Barman really attentive offering good selection of real ales. Happy to give tasters, good advise of what.to choose. Proper pub not trendy and modern. Clean warm and friendly. Prices brilliant. Highly recommended

The No7 is one of the best loved bars in Barnsley serving an excellent range of beers. It's a typical pub keeping old school charm, unfortunately the drinking up time isn't clear which led to an incident with the bouncer. I understood it was 20 minutes, if it isn't, can I suggest the No7 have last orders before 12. The surly bouncer doesn't fit with the image of the bar. My husband was also threatened with not being served in future by one of the female bar staff. It has put us off going in, luckily there are other real ale bars in Barnsley.

It was really easy to find this place- just a stone's throw from the Town Hall.I was excited to try beers from the local Acorn Brewery, this is their pub. The prices were great.The man behind the bar was friendly and attentive and some other pub-goers were having a bit of a jam session on their guitars, they were talented so it was really enjoyable!

what a dream old pub the beers fantastic great landlord and landlady carol one of the best real ale in Barnsley again great real ale spot on many thanks brian&barbara

Always a good range of beers (bitter, stout, IPAs) , good bar staff who keep track of who's been waiting, music a nice level so you can listen if you want but still easy to chat. If you become a regular get one of their discount cards.

My partner and I visited this bar, a couple close to us were having a laugh and a joke and the man slipped up and swore, nothing offensive and the woman behind the bar was so rude to him and made a massive deal as to his language and how he wasn't welcome in there! everyone around were gobsmacked and from watching the crowd, it looked like not only the couple left but other people did too. I won't be drinking in there again, we people are not welcome to have fun

Best craft beer pub in Barnsley. I didn't eat here. Nice old looking pub with Acorn and guest beers on tap. Also a good bottle selection. Free WiFi.

A proper grown ups real ale pub. fantastic selection of all types of beer,ales and specialist Micro beers. the ranges changes on a regular bases with Acorn Brewery's staples ever constant. A cracking pub!

Not many real ale pubs in Barnsley so for real ale connoisseurs then this place is a must. Great atmosphere and good service.

Nice friendly staff, enough staff on. Good cheap selection of ale. The tables were all clean and tidy.

Hubby and I not been for a night out in Barnsley for a while and we started off with our first drink in The Old Number 7 pub, left after our first drink to go try a few other pubs, but we ended back at The Old Number 7, great pub, great staff, and a good atmosphere.

First went here in 1972. Totally different, of course, with Acorn Brewery, the current owners. They sell theire own beer plus some guest beers and a wide rangeof other beers, gins - as is the fashion now - and whiskies, Quiz nights etc.

Good pub, friendly staff, and of course great beer with Acorn on tap: I got a special tasting with David of Acorn Brewery! Also met a lady who keeps a beer journal of every beer she's ever tasted, an interesting character.

Always a fine selection of hand-pulled ales at Number 7. Service friendly and efficient. Get yourself a discount card and fill your boots.

Called in on Saturday night with husband (his idea) from entering to leaving we had a great time, almost forgot we were in Barnsley, it was nice to be greeted by a friendly doorman, the bar staff were all nice & looked smart, the other customers were all our age 40+ a good pub to sit & chat. My hubby loved the choice of ales, will definitely return next time we're in Barnsley.

Buena atmósfera relajada y muy agradable suave cerveza no recomiendo para una tarde agradable personal también pinta que recibes lo que pagas

Sigue siendo el mismo suelo pegajoso aunque hay pub ha sido una mejora con los aseos de señoras. Sería agradable para visitar, y no ser un olor desagradable y planta pegajosa.

Adecuado ale pub con una selección enorme de cervezas, muy bonita, no sólo música pub buena cerveza y buena gente, lugar y a un precio razonable

Este es un verdadero banco y aserrín pub, para bebedores y con buenas opciones de ale. La gente es típico Barnsley, local y amable. Excelente lugar para ir a por un par de cervezas.

If you are after a special ale well this is the place to go , all samples are available aswell , nice for somewhere different to go , away from main stream bars and pubs

Absolutely love this place and the kind of real ale establishment Barnsley needs more of.The atmosphere is so relaxing, you unwind as soon as you walk in!Ales are kept spot on and are reasonably priced.Barnsleys Jewel.

The pub is situated on two levels , you enter on the lower level & enter the upper level to get to the bar .. There is seating on both levels .. A great selection of real ale was available on my visit .. A great pub with great staff .. Looking forward to my next trip to Barnsley for another visit to No 7 ..

What more is there to say .... A good old proper pub with a great selection of real ales. It's as simple as that, top notch, and so thankful for it!

Me and my Wife have been to Old No.7 this Sunday for a couple of refreshing ales.We have been there twice now on a Sunday.They have live Irish music playing (people just turn up with their Guitars,Flutes etc and start to play).It is a great place to go for a good real ale and to pass the time listening to some pleasant music.They have a very good range of ales.I can thoroughly recommend the Taurus IPA or the Acorn Blonde. As far as I know they do not serve food,it is just a real ale pub.

I love this pub, the staff are great, beer excellent and atmosphere second to none. It really does feel like going home when you go in there.

Good real ale, my favourite pub in town, lots of friendly faces. Ok you can't take drinks out onto the street, bit where else could you safely leave them on the table or bar?

Nice range of ciders. Nice pub. Only stayed for one. Great for real ale drinkers. Like the coat hooks under shelf

love it here its the best place in barnsley top ales from all over its friendly and clean and well kept well worth a visit if you like real ale.

been going in here nearly 50 years, since I was a 15 year old at Barnsley tech, there wasn't the same stigma about under 18 drinking the.lots of good beers, especially the Acorn brewsusually go in before going to watch the reds.got a couple of good gins in there as wellfine town centre pub,helps if you understand the local vernacular.

Nice for afternoon drinks as no music so can have a good chat with friends, real ale pub too so good for the boys to try different ales. Step back in time but that's nice sometimes.

Best real ale bar in Barnsley. Wide selection always changing. Spot on place to have a quiet few. Don't forget to pickup a loyalty card!

went with a group of friends not been to Barnsley for a while, pleasant surrounds and company. able to hear each other talk, and good selection of Ales and ciders for you to try

Old Number 7 is a good quality, traditional pub. Quality Beer, Lager and ciders at reasonable prices where everyone is welcome.

What a great pub, live music downstairs, pub quizzes, friendly staff. Very friendly staff and a great night out with friends

Unpretentious town centre pub - with a great range of ever changing beers and lagers, solid no nonsense furniture and knowledgeable staff. Great for a night out including the Wednesday pub quiz (£1 per team to enter and you get a tray of sandwiches!) Can't be bad can it?

You can find a good selection of traditional beers, and continental Lagers as well as local brew Acorn. This pub as won numerous awards for cider beers and pub of the year from camra. Personally I find it a little small to make it a regular watering hole and the ales are a little pricey. BUT Still worthwhile making a visit.

WOW!! In Barnsley town centre, it's great to be somewhere that is a REAL pub with real ale and lovely people. Poseurs are really not in vogue in this place and everyone is their own person or dog!! Dogs that woof are also allowed in and really made to feel welcome!Great atmosphere with friendly staff. A wide array of ales from all over the world. They also have beer festivals with another bar set up in the cellar and regular live music sessions which are great (although sometimes there is a cost which is understandable but can be a deterrent)

So finally, Barnsley Harry gets to review somewhere in Barnsley! And of course it’s a pub! When I was a teenager back in the day, the Old No. 7 on Market Hill was a very thin pub. It was dark and had few customers. But its main draw was that they would serve you beer if you weren’t fully 18 years old yet. Things were a bit more lax in those days and if you didn’t cause any trouble, the landlord took an executive decision to serve you. They didn’t ask you to prove you were 25 or something ridiculous like they do today. PC gone mad. Anyway, back to the beer. This... is a real ale fancier’s heaven. Lots of choice, well kept and a landlady who will give you a sample of her beers without even having to ask. It’s an Acorn Brewery pub, so revamped Barnsley Bitter was on tap, but I went for Barnsley Gold, as I am especially fond of the light and hoppy taste. Come in on a Wednesday if you want a quiz night. So, I’ve had my pint, where shall I eat??? I’ll try “That’s Amore”, an Italian joint (no kidding, Sherlock) just round the corner on Shambles Street. Review to follow. G’night.
