Good Beer Guide entry back in 2021 that opens on very occasional Friday evenings and on most Saturday evenings. I'd timed our visit to Worksop based on its opening on our particular Saturday evening visit. As with Ian Mapp below, I had contacted them on Messenger and they had replied to say that a band was on, but they would be open from 6pm.
Arriving fairly early, the place didn't look open. However, the band had not long arrived and were taking their equipment in. The bar is along the right-hand wall as you face the building, with the stage on the left-hand wall. There is a seating area near the front windows, with an open kitchen at the rear right-hand side beyond the bar and the brewing equipment at the rear left-hand side. All in all, a rather unusual setup.
We were the only customers as it was still before 7pm. However, we could witness the soundcheck and a couple of practice tracks whilst enjoying the Dukeries Heritage. The other real ale on offer was Scarborough Sealord. There was no real cider that I could see.
Certainly a strange place, that if anything felt more like a social club than a brewery tap. It all felt a bit empty at 6:30 on a Saturday evening. But I guess it gets much noisier and livelier later in the evening.

The Good Beer Guide keeps on throwing up surprises!
This was listed as closed on Google Maps but they did answer my FB Messenger query to show that not only were they open, but they have live music on!
Intrigued, I found a brewery/BBQ Food/Bar all dominated by a live stage. Standard pub rock band were on in the evening and it was great to see live music again.
Very popular with all ages/classes.
Well worth checking out.
