Queens Hotel in Rotherham

Ah, the Queens Hotel – it's one of those classic local pubs that you stumble upon in Rawmarsh, and honestly, it has its charms that make it worth a stop. I love how the drinks are so reasonably priced; it's a proper budget-friendly option for a pint or a spirit without feeling like you're splashing out. The staff are an absolute delight too, always quick with a smile and getting you sorted, which really adds to the relaxed vibe. It's got that genuine community feel, like you're just popping in for a chat with mates. On the downside, though, the decor's looking a bit worn out – it could use a bit of a makeover to liven things up. And I've heard a few tales of people not feeling entirely welcome, which is disappointing and might make you think twice if you're new to the area. Then there's the toilets; the ladies' ones aren't up to snuff, with some unpleasant smells that could spoil the experience. Oh, and that £10 minimum for card payments feels a bit stuck in the past when we're all about contactless these days. All in all, with a decent rating overall, it's still a good shout for a casual night out, but go in with your eyes open and you'll have a balanced time of it.
