About This Pub

So, I've been having a look at The Alex in Rotherham, and it's got that genuine, down-to-earth pub feel that you don't find everywhere these days. From the reviews, it seems like a brilliant spot for catching up with friends over a pint – folks like Chris and Mark rave about the friendly staff and the fun times, especially on darts nights, where it's all about good laughs and a relaxed vibe. It's perfect if you're after a straightforward, community-oriented place to unwind. On the other hand, I have to be straight with you; Matty's recent feedback highlights that it's looking a bit rough around the edges, with limited drink options that don't go beyond the basics, and it definitely feels like it needs some updating to keep up. Overall, if you're in the mood for a no-nonsense local haunt with heart, The Alex could be just the ticket, but it might not wow you if you're expecting something more modern or fancy.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are really friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in
  • It's got a great atmosphere for a laugh with mates, especially on darts nights – sounds like a proper good time
  • A relaxing spot for a casual pint or chat, with that classic local pub vibe that's hard to beat
Cons
  • The place looks a bit tatty and worn out, like it could do with some freshening up and a bit of TLC
  • Drink selection is pretty limited, mostly just national brands without much variety to choose from
  • It's very basic and no-frills, which might feel a tad disappointing if you're after something a bit more polished

Being generous - it's a basic old back street boozer, no frills and I mean no frills ! . Being mean - it's really tatty and with very limited range of national brand drinks. Desperate for some TLC. Makes the Parkgate Inn look like the Rolls Royce of pubs (it ain't !). Oh and the pub sign is missing, that's always a bad omen. Bar person fine though 👍. I don't suppose a negative review will affect them in any way 😂
