Inn Time, Rotherham

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Inn Time

Brinsworth appears to be a bit of a sprawling suburb of Rotherham. I was expecting this micropub to be the best of the 3 venues we were visiting. Situated on a parade of shops, with parking to the front, I quite liked the interior but the drinks selection was frankly disappointing.

On arrival, I noted that there were 2 handpulls without clips. I enquired with the landlord if any cask available but he replied that it didn't sell and the last time he tried putting any on, he ended up pouring most away after the same 9 days that was mentioned in the previous review. I guess that is fair enough, but I didn't buy his next comment that summer is the wrong time of year for cask ale.

The keg selection was Madri, Tiny Rebel Clwb Tropica, Cruzcampo, Stella Artois, Guinness, John Smith's, Stones Best Bitter, Aspall's & Healey's Rattler & Rattler Strawberry & Lime.

I'm really not sure if this pub is now called Inn Time or whether it remains Stop Inn Time. Either way, the theme is clocks and time with many types of clocks both on the ceilings and on the walls. A rather unusual feature was a set of what appeared to be DJ decks to the side of the bar with hundreds of LPs available. Music was playing during our visit. Stools are made out of kegs and there is a large outdoor seating area in a cabin-like structure to the rear.

Dogs are welcome. Children are banned. Apparently it's the wrong time of year for cask ales in Brinsworth but there were 3 decent local beers available in our previous bar at the Phoenix Sports & Social Club. The Chantry Iron & Steel Bitter I tried was in excellent form. That place is not listed on here but we had no problems gaining entry and it was packed out. I would recommend giving that a try if ever in Brinsworth.
