The Rhubarb Tavern is set well into the back streets of Barton Hill.
Once inside the bar faces in an L shaped room which is carpeted,there are normal tables and chairs to the front,the right side is down two steps,there is wood bench seating here with chairs.
There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Great Western Hambrook Pale Ale,which went down very well after a run of keg only pubs,the other real ale was Doom Bar.
There was a TV to the front left.
I thought this was a decent pub and worth seeking out.

A surprisingly decent pub in an unlikely part of town. It's a traditional Victorian red brick building located in a dark, dead end street next to an industrial estate, but once you actually venture in you find a pleasant and cosy pub.
Inside, the pub is a U-shape with the bar counter at the front. It's mostly carpeted, and there are a few old beams on the ceiling. To the right there is a pool table right at the back, and some DJ gear on a table at the front, suggesting that music features prominently on occasions. There were a few plasma's dotted around showing a selection of sports fixtures.
The left hand side is slightly cosier, and leads back in to two rooms, each with an old stone fire-place on one wall and some floor to ceiling dark wood panelling. The sports theme continues though, with a number of football scarves on the ceiling as well as other trophies and boxing gloves on display and a darts board on the wall. A stainless steel food counter at the rear looked slightly out of place though. There is also apparently a garden although we did not investigate this.
The food menu was a fairly typical "pub grub" affair with options such as Chilli Con Carne, Scampi & Chips, Ham Egg & Chips and Lasagne. These were all priced at £6.30.
Beers on tap were Doom Bar and Butcombe. Ciders faired slightly better with Thatcher's Gold, Natch and Magners Golden Draught.
