The New Barrack Tavern is a pub that I've been meaning to get to for a while. Situated on a busy road through Hillsborough, it has both an impressive exterior and interior. There are multiple rooms including a small room to the left as you enter, a large room to the right and just off the main bar area and two further rooms to the rear, one billed as a cider room.
Opening times are fairly limited here. Whilst they are open most of the weekend, throughout the week, they only open on 4 evenings. Speaking to the humorous landlady and landlord, it seems that they have suffered more than most throughout Covid and trade has not got back to pre-pandemic levels. Hence, the reduced opening hours.
The bar area itself is certainly impressive. So is the ale and cider selection. Regular cask ales are Bradfield Farmers Bitter (billed as Barrack Bitter) & Castle Rock Harvest Pale & Screech Owl. Guests were Castle Rock Oatmeal Stout, Clearwater Revival & Pheasantry Black Pheasant. Ciders were Seacider Blood Orange & Hardcore, Aston Manor Friel's First Press Vintage, Sandford Orchards Devon Scrumpy, Snail's Bank Appley Dapply & Pig Squeal & Thistly Cross Whisky Cask. Craft beers were Vocation Heart & Soul, Castle Rock Session, Uiltje Trackdown & Beavertown Gamma Ray.
I do hope this pub continues to survive. Architecturally, it was the best of the 12 Sheffield pubs we tried on this crawl.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about New Barrack Tavern
Interesting pub with an Art Deco façade and a Camra regional inventory interior. Didn't manage to explore the various rooms, but the curved counter in the lobby bar is quite impressive, as is the range of real ales and ciders on offer. I went for a quick Bradfield's Barrack Bitter (which I took to be, in effect, a house beer), but I must make an effort to make a proper return visit.

I've been making this part of my usual circuit in recent weeks - having a bus pass makes it a bit easier to get to, though it's also not a bad walk from my place via Blake Hotel, Queens Ground, New Barrack, then Gardeners Rest and/or Wellington. They always have a dark beer on these days, and told me that they do better for stouts, porters and milds than a lot of pubs this side of town. I've had a couple of Ashover beers - their Damson Porter is so much more subtle than the frequently seen Titanic Plum Porter, which is too sweet for me - and on another occasion when table service was still in operation Steph predicted to Kev behind the bar what I would be ordering: Rudgate Ruby Mild. Friendly staff and excellent beer.
