The Colin, Kimberworth, Rotherham

The Colin is in the Kimberworth area of Rotherham and is more of a local sports bar than anything else. The sun had come out and an outdoor covered patio area with TVs was proving quite popular, especially with the earlier Euro 2020 semi final already having kicked off. We chose to sit inside, where it was much quieter. The only other customers were a group of 4 women. TVs inside were also showing the football. There is a solitary real ale pump, but the clip was turned. We did enquire about the availability and they tried pouring through the Chantry New York Pale, but it was sadly off. Our second pub in a row with no real ale and despite some fairly cheerful staff, I couldn't really recommend this one.

The Colin is a decent looking pub that is in the old part of Kimberworth. Once inside the pub had two seperate rooms,the lounge is to the right,this room was packed with drinkers and had a good lively atmosphere,this room was square shaped with bench seating around the edge of the room with normal tables and chairs,there were three tall tables and stools in the middle of the room. There was a seperate bar to the right which had a darts board to the rear,this room was empty. There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of beer called Hendersons Relish,this was a decent enough drink but i dont know who brewed this beer,the other beers were Ruddles County and GK IPA. This was a decent lively pub. Pub visited 22/3/2014
