Old No 7, Barnsley

Acorn's brewery tap, centrally located near one of the Wetherspoons and the Town Hall. A long term GBG entry and multiple CAMRA pub of the year. 8 pulls mostly from Acorn as expected, one each from Nailmaker and Ashover as guests. The floor is on two levels with the larger area being higher and home to the counter. Traditional furnishings, high in the low bit and low in the high bit, all in dark wood.

Old No 7 is situated in the midle of Barnsley and is just up from the Joseph Bramah. Once inside there is a single long narrow room which runs to the rear,the floor is bare boarded and the bar is on the left side,there area a few tall tables and stools to the front,there is a drinking shelf opposite the bar and normal tables and chairs and tables with small stools on the right side,the rear area is up a few steps. This is a Acorn Brewery tied house,so there was a very good choice of their beers on the bar,i had a drink of Acorn Old Moor Porter,which was on top form,the other Acorn beers noted were Barnsley Bitter,Blonde,Barnsley Gold and Olicano IPA,the gust beers noter were Yeovil Star Gazer,Redemption Urban Dusk and Abbeydale Bootlegger. The background music was really good. I was the first customer in just after 11am but the pub soon started filling up. I really liked this pub. Pub visited 30/12/2016
