Corner Pin, Doncaster

Corner pub all one open u shaped room with a vestigial wall by the door, tongue and grooved with white walls and blacked roof timbers. Another one for middle aged men, with a slew of my cohorts enjoying a preprandial or four during my early evening visit. And why not, it's near the station , serves a range of good beer from 5 hand pumps and has an amazingly eclectic choice of music played when nobody feeds the juke box. Nice pub.

The Corner Pin is a traditional back street local’s boozer that opens at midday (11:45 on Sundays) and shuts at 23:30 in the week, midnight Friday and Saturday and 22:30 on Sundays. The narrow L shaped bar area is lined with banquette seating along the exterior walls and at the rear is a dartboard. There is more seating to the left and during my recent Saturday afternoon visit England were playing rugby against New Zealand. This was muted in favour of some background music from the jukebox. The bar is stocked with standard draught and I counted five hand pumps that were all drawing different brews. The food available is reasonably priced pub grub. Out the back is a beer garden that houses some picnic tables that are covered by a jumbrella and there is some patio furniture on a small decked area at the rear. A small bar that looks as though it was knocked together by the governor is covered with old beer clips and supports six hand pumps. I imagine that this is utilised during beer festivals in the summer months. This pub is only a short hop from the railway station and is well worth a look.
