A NEW bar is set to open in Barnsley town centre later this month.

The 708 sq ft unit is located in The Glass Works next to Coffee Boy.

It will mark the Nailmaker Pub Company and Darton-based brewery’s third location in Barnsley town centre.

Nailmaker Tap 1 will join Nailmaker Tap 2 and The Reading Room (set to open in Barnsley Civic this winter) as the local business continues to grow its chain of bars.

Leah Lockwood, Director at Nailmaker Pub Company., said: “We’re incredibly excited to be expanding our Barnsley offering this year. It’s a real source of pride to be able to open a bar in the heart of our hometown and be able to offer the people of Barnsley a new offering with high-quality, locally brewed beers.”

Coun Robin Franklin, Cabinet Spokesperson for Regeneration and Culture at Barnsley Council, added: “It’s great to be able to welcome an exciting, local business into The Glass Works.

“Nailmaker has already built up an impressive portfolio in the local area, with pubs like The Wentworth Arms, The Talbot Inn in Mapplewell, Nailmaker Tap 2 here in Barnsley and many others across the region.

“We’re always keen to add new and different options to the town centre and Nailmaker Tap 1 is no different. This bar will offer a great alternative destination in The Glass Works, sitting comfortably with the broad mix of bars and restaurants already here.”
