The Concertina Band Club, Mexborough

Although at first glance this looks like a semi-derelict factory unit, the Tina is in fact still a going concern. The sign on the side wall features the badge of the long defunct Wards brewery, but in fact this is the home of the award winning Concertina Brewery. The understated entrance leads directly to the bar area, with a small room further on which has a pool table and a large TV screen. There is no membership requirement, although the main room still looks like what you would expect of a club rather than a pub. The bar has six hand pumps, of which four had pump clips on my recent visit. Three of their own beers (Old Dark Attic, Club Bitter and Bengal Tiger) were supplemented by John Smiths Bitter. On the day I was there the Tina was open from 2pm to 4pm and from 7:45 until late, but it's probably best to phone in advance to check opening times if you're thinking of paying a visit.
