Absolutely mate I live about five mins from the ground and gotta say that the Horse and Jockey have it nailed for a lot of locals I really want this place to succeed but it seems quietly tucked away with nobody knowing much about it yet Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs a proper PR/Social Media campaign to make it more appealing through the week to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Looks too clinical for me, not in a cool hipster way but more a phoenix nights new build. If they want to do well they need to go down the whole street food route too. Bit like the magic rock tap in Huddersfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live a couple of minutes walk away but I'd rather go to the coach and jockey, NBT, kelham island or hallamshire house etc if I want a pint. But make it more appealing eg street food trucks etc and people might actually visit it. Fear it might go same way as Riverside cafe pub if not which in theory should be much busier than it is.

Nando45 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Been in a few times on match days, you need to show season ticket/match ticket to get in. Enjoyed it busy, but didn't take too long to get a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlontheRock Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) It's a nice place once you actually manage to find it. Signage needs improving so you can see it exists from both leppings lane and Penistone Rd. Kids are allowed in on non match days apparently, really hope it succeeds but people need to know it's there .
