Not open when I was here, though it should have been. A note on the door apologised, and said it would be open soon after my train departed the station (nothing personal). The permanent hours notice has also been amended, to take Tuesday off the schedule.

Strongers . left this review about Barley Hops
Barley Hops is a single room shop converted bar with a serving counter on the rear wall and high tables and stools up the left and standard tables up the right. There’s a dartboard on the left wall with an oche across the front windows that have a beer shelf running across them. The ceiling is covered in painted pallets and there’s lots of foam art on the walls. The bar supports four hand pumps that were drawing Bradfield Brewery’s Farmers Stout, Northern Monkey Brewing’s For Pete’s Sake, Ludlow Brewery’s Stairway and Storm Brewing’s Ale Force. SiDa Holmes Chapel Apple cider from Macclesfield was also available, probably from a box. I also counted seven craft keg products and there are whisky and rum menus. The governor was polite, but I was the only customer so there was no atmosphere. Also, I didn’t really take to the décor, maybe a few old pump clips wouldn’t go amiss.

Ignore the opening hours on the out of date web site. Also ignore the opening hours on the sign in the window. Facebook is the place to go for the accurate opening hours. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
