Denaby get it First New Hotel in Years – the Tavern

An Exterior of the new Stones Out, “The Tavern” which will be officially opened  on Monday

The opening of the Tavern will mean a smart but cosy addition to the limited entertainment facilities in Denaby.

Attractive enough to travel to for a drink, but not so ‘ posh’ that people will be dubious about adopting it as a local. the challenge will be welcomed as an inspiring oasis in the desert of Denaby drabness.

The décor is tasteful to say the least, and the beer…… well, it Stones, and one only has to look at such places as the Ferryboat Inn at Mexborough and the Bowman at Conisbrough to see that they head the local popularity poll for good beer and décor.

Actually the layout of the Tavern is the same as that of the recently opened Bowman, with its  “olde shoppe|”inspired bay window, clean looking outside walls, and welcoming atmosphere achieved not only by the friendliness of the licencee but by the underfloor heating, which exudes a cosy unclammy heat – and doesn’t leave dirty marks on the wall paper.

It comprises two rooms,  the lounge and public bar, neither of which brings back recollections of the spittoon and sawdust type which haunt one in so many South Yorkshire ‘pubs’ –  not necessarily the old ones!
