Blue Scrumpy left this review about Marketplace
Overlooking the marketplace, this is a decent bar that probably pre-dates the micropub era, but is remarkably similar in its characteristics. I remember this being one of the better pubs in Doncaster the last time I was here. Since then, the original owners have passed away. But the new guy in charge is continuing the good work and the beers we had were all good quality.
The 5 ales on were Jolly Sailor Selby In Summer, Great Newsome Tortoiseshell, Gorilla Silverback Blonde & Stoutrageous & Drone Valley Dronny Bottom Bitter. There was no real cider that I could see.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Marketplace
Calls itself an 'alehouse & deli' rather than a micro-pub, but each description is reasonably applicable. It features a narrow rectangular bar with a compact counter at the far end, with about the same amount of seating again outdoors the eponymous plaza. A good selection of five real ales on handpump, mostly from Yorkshire breweries, including Bradfield and Welbeck Abbey and Jolly Sailor, but I went for the Team to Remember from Old Mill (£3.60).

Old Boots left this review about Marketplace
23rd October 2014 Does what says on the sign, three pulls and three keg taps on a counter at the front, a range of 300 odd great bottled beers on shelves down one side and there's a deli counter at the back. Bottled beers from Kernel, Marble, Hardknot, Redwillow and Meantime among others. There's bench seating down the side opposite the bottle shelves and three tables so it might also fit in the micropub classification. Certainly not to be missed when near Doncaster Marketplace. The beer was excellent but a touch murky for this old bloke. Grazing platters are available at £6.75-12.75.
July 2018 update
Now under new ownership and with a relocated counter, more seating and many fewer bottles for sale as seating has replaced the shelves. Three beers available on the 5 pulls on my visit.
