About Anglers Rest
Anglers Rest is a traditional local pub in Barnsley at 66 Park St, run by a landlord and landlady. The inside has been refurbished and modernised under the new landlord. Behind the bar, real ales sit alongside a whisky selection. The pub hosts a quiz night and a karaoke night, and live music features solo acts and singers, so it suits anyone looking for an evening out with entertainment.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the landlord and landlady, describing them as friendly and good people, with one noting they went out to fetch a Hendrix gin for a customer. Close behind is the entertainment, with a singer one reviewer enjoyed, a karaoke night, a quiz night, occasional live music and a solo act, plus football and darts teams. Drinks draw steady approval too, from real ales in good condition and good beer to a good whisky selection, usually at what reviewers call reasonable prices. Several mention the refurbishment under the new landlord, with the inside described as modernised, a really nice standard and cosy, and one says the pub is lovely now that the previous owner has gone. Others describe a traditional local with plenty of atmosphere and great punters. No reviewer raises a complaint. One reviewer closes on the gesture of the landlord and landlady heading out to get a favourite gin and says they will be back.
