Quick info
About Jack Hawley At The Grange
Jack Hawley At The Grange is a pub on The Grange in Doncaster, set up two flights of stairs as a micro pub above the Grange courtyard. The cask lines rotate through a changing selection of guest real ales, hand-pulled at the bar, alongside a range of gins and tonics. Seating is limited inside given the small footprint, so the room can fill up, while a small outdoor area gives an alternative spot for outdoor drinking. Dogs on a lead are welcome alongside their owners. There is no booking system, and the pub takes walk-ins, opening daily. It sits on a frequent bus route, making it straightforward to reach without a car, though checking the opening times before travelling is worthwhile.

Customer Review Summary
Real ales are the main draw at this micro pub, with reviewers praising hand-pulled cask beers on a rolling list of guest ales, one citing a Timothy Taylor Boltmaker in good condition and another noting a regularly available cider. Close behind is the gin selection, which several describe as a fantastic range, and one reviewer says the beers run slightly more adventurous than standard ales. The landlord and barman come up repeatedly as friendly and welcoming, and reviewers describe a relaxed atmosphere with good conversation, comfy seating and a small outdoor area. Well-behaved dogs on a lead are mentioned as welcome. The recurring drawbacks are practical. The bar is very small and can get full at times, and one reviewer docked a star over the lack of a comfortable setting. Another reports climbing two flights of stairs to reach it, though still liked the place. One reviewer even singles out a late 1980s hoover on display in the gents as priceless.
