I doubt there’s anything left to say about the Barton’s Arms, one of the venues on the very first Pubs Galore pub crawl. Very few serious pubmen and women will not be familiar with this Victorian extravaganza of wood, glass and particularly tiling. Don’t just stay in one of the downstairs rooms, explore the details of this fantastic pub. Two from Oakham on my visit, Citra and JHB plus a beer from Fixed Wheel “The Manx Missile”. A national treasure.

A very impressive building inside and out and certainly worth the bus trip out from the city centre, I tend to prefer smaller compact pubs but the interior as well as the beer selection as mentioned in the October reviews makes for a pub well worth returning to.

Well, they don’t make them like this anymore.
It’s quite frightening to think we almost lost this late Victorian masterpiece some 20 years ago. The interior is so good that you would even enjoy drinking a pint of John Smiths smooth crap in here. The fact that it is owned by Oakhams and there is a decent guest ale policy almost makes this the perfect drinking experience.
It’s almost sacrilege to not have an Oakham ale after how they have looked after the place for the last 18 years, but I went for the Froth Blowers Riverside Stout and very good it was too.
