Opium Indie Bar

"Best bar in Tarn, atmosphere is unreal."

"I was physically thrown out of here on Saturday night by a young thug of a bouncer. Because I had no bank card to pay, and only cash… he pushed me against a wall and physically handled me many times. I asked him to leave me and I would leave of my own accord, but it would seem he enjoyed his misogynistic, bullying behaviour. He was then hidden out of sight when I said I would report his behaviour to the police. The manager wouldn’t engage with me, or acknowledge me. The smell of drugs was apparent from the outside smoking area, which they obviously turned a blind eye to. Disgusting behaviour, no standards or professional service. I have never been treated like this before in my life. I am literally old enough to be the bouncer’s mother. Don’t understand how they think this behaviour is acceptable. I will voice my concerns with The license authority."

"Nice to see Barnsley has an indie bar, shame it's an small upstairs room which has wooden back benches & a concrete floor."

"Do not drink the coors light on tap! Had a few sips and instantly threw up but was fine drinking a bottled corona"

"During a steady tour of Barnsley's finest boozing establishments, we were attracted to to this venue on the promise of thirst quenching cocktails. On our visit to the deserted downstairs bar, we kindly requested an enlightening cocktail menu, which is when we were undesirably ushered upstairs. Once upstairs all we were greeted with was stone island dirty hoodies. As we approached the bar and requested our long awaited cocktails, we were shot down to be told they don't serve cocktails... At this point my aneurysm started to go into overdrive so I thought, sod it!! The stress was far too much so I made an order for their finest opium... Only to be told that wasn't available either. I was DISGUSTED not only did I have to settle with a peroni instead of my cocktail but me and my group of four walked away with no form of opiate addiction what so ever.... I COULD NOT SEE A SINGLE POPPY BEHIND BE BAR. I strongly urge anyone looking to take up opiates as a hobby steer clear of this establishment. Ask your local street dweller or bus stop lurker kindly requesting 20p"
