The Joseph Bramah - Barnsley

Good drinks and dips. run and decent amount. very busy at the weekend. the student night is Wednesday, if it is not too full, but also not dead. a good starting point when they visit the city. Eat served all day to late. directly in the center of the city on the hill of barnsley rathaus (market hill.)

Nice enough place neatly clean and friendly staff. disabled friendly toilets on stairs unfortunately. thru sells a wide range of food. there is an outside smoke area inside the pub. two flats much space

9 of us came to the breakfast before our minibus came. we ordered a mix of breakfast packages, traditional breakfast and toast. the food was nice, but it took 35-40 minutes to come and was warm. the personal was friendly and professional, which apologised for waiting and we enjoyed our eating.

Excellent wetherspoons..ordered on app and very quick service. Loads of seating outdoor and in. 3 small meals for 12.95, i got the pizza, halloumi and chips! Proper bargain!

The restaurant is huge, spread out over two floors. The main attraction for our group was the ample seating, affordable beer, and selection of real ales. We got what we wanted and it wasn't too crowded on a Monday night. The bartender, a young lady, was friendly and talkative. I ordered an American pale ale and a Kiwi pale ale, both of which were well-maintained, poured, and presented. The atmosphere was dark and dimly lit, but the tables were clean and we had a good evening. One downside was the condition of the men's toilets on the first floor. Although there were plenty of facilities, several urinals were leaking and the floor was very wet, with signs warning of the issue. One of the cubicles was open but had no toilet, just a hole in the floor, indicating ongoing construction. There was no soap in any of the dispensers, but the dryers worked fine. I did not try the food, so I cannot comment on that. It seems the restaurant has not received a three, four, or five-star review since around June 2022, which may indicate neglect over that time period. This was my first visit, so I cannot compare it to previous experiences, but I frequent other Wetherspoons pubs that are better. My local one in Wakefield is currently undergoing an extension and possibly a refurbishment, which was much needed. Will I return? Yes, probably to meet the same group of friends in Barnsley as it is convenient and offers good ales at a reasonable price.
