Decided to give them another go, but wish had'nt bothered - found equally unfriendly and abrasive staff - facilities were dirty and smelly - most of seating was torn and foisty - to cap it all, ale was warm and flat - that's it now - you go there at your peril - there are far better places for a nice evening out that will welcome you with a smile and open arms]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:48:49 +0000 /review/uk/elland/bar-pub/1w8xm7/the-barge-and-barrel/107166f953608972 robb1 53.691633243331 -1.8379280205556 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/elland/bar-pub/1w8xm7/the-barge-and-barrel/1z7zn7

Good old pub style decor and tasty selection of real ales, however bar staff were very dour and unwelcoming and no sign of landlord & landlady until late on when they came to close the bar - unfortunately a most unfriendly pub, and one which should make you want to return, but doesn't - not a place you would choose for a friendly night out

Real ale as it should be.
There's two blackboards in front of the bar listing all 13 ale's on offer. Some are brewed on site by the Elland Brewery (or the various other guises it's had over the years).

They've got a pool table, darts board, juke box and bar food.

From July when the smoking ban comes in, they're introducing full-time meals to boost trade too.

If you're a fan of real ale, the Barge & Barrell is a must.]]> Mon, 18 Jun 2007 21:53:35 +0000 /review/uk/elland/bar-pub/1w8xm7/the-barge-and-barrel/1543g8270939211 tonypreece 53.691633243331 -1.8379280205556
