About This Pub

Ah, The Yorkshire Terrier – it's one of those classic pubs in Rotherham that you might stumble upon and think, 'This has potential.' From what I've gathered, it's got that warm, community feel going for it, especially if you're there for a pre-game stop or just a relaxed evening. The staff are often spot-on, making you feel welcome like an old mate, and it's dead cheap, which is always a win for a casual catch-up. Plus, with new management in charge and plans for a spruce-up, it sounds like they're on the up and up. But, let's be honest, it's not all roses – some staff can be a bit inconsistent, and I've heard tales of younger crowds getting the brush-off for no clear reason, which isn't ideal. The drinks aren't always top-notch either; that Carling might leave a bad taste, quite literally. And it does feel a tad run-down and empty at times, especially since things have slipped a bit post-pandemic, with no outdoor spots to soak up the sun. Overall, if you're after a straightforward, no-fuss pub experience, it's worth a go, but keep your expectations in check and maybe give it another visit once those improvements kick in – fingers crossed it'll be even better!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff can be really friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home, especially if you're popping in for a quick pint before a match.
  • It's an inexpensive spot, perfect for a casual night out without breaking the bank.
  • Under new management, they've got some exciting plans for improvements, like redecoration, which could make it even better soon.
Cons
  • Some staff aren't as approachable, and there have been issues with younger folks getting turned away for seemingly no good reason.
  • The drinks can be hit or miss – like the Carling tasting off, which puts a dampener on things.
  • It feels a bit outdated and quiet these days, with not many people around, and no outdoor seating to enjoy on a sunny day.

Been a handful of times, outdated, younger generations get barred for no reason. Some staff are really nice, others not so much. Carling tastes horrible! Along with the rest of the tap booze.

First time I've been in since being a teenager. It's under new management now and they have some great plans for it including redecoration. Staff were great.

Me and my family have been going in terrier for years, but since the pandemic has gone down the hill big time, not many people go in, I don't know how it stays open. We don't go in often now and definitely won't when it starts getting warmer as there is no seating outdide

Great Friendly Pub. Travelled with away fans from Coventry and they were most welcoming to us.
