Ginge's Tap - Retro Music Bar

Ginge's Tap - Retro Music Bar

Verified
4.9(35 reviews)
92/100
Ginge's Tap is a charming retro music bar in Rotherham that's full of character, with friendly vibes, great tunes, and wallet-friendly prices that make it a real gem for a relaxed night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant, with a retro music vibe that makes you feel like you're stepping back in time while still enjoying a modern twist—perfect for unwinding or having a dance.
  • Prices are spot on and really reasonable, whether it's for drinks like those affordable cocktails around £6 or a hearty full English breakfast that won't break the bank.
  • The staff are an absolute delight, always going above and beyond to make your visit memorable with their friendly service and warm welcomes.
  • The music selection is top-notch, featuring live events and playlists of classic tunes that bring people together and create a lively community feel.
  • Food options are a real highlight, with tasty dishes like a fabulous full English that customers rave about, making it a great spot for a casual meal.
Areas for Improvement
  • It only seems to be open a few days a week, which might make it tricky to pop in spontaneously if you're not planning ahead.
  • The venue might feel a bit quiet on off-peak nights, like Fridays, so if you're after a buzzing crowd every time, it could disappoint on quieter evenings.
  • Being in the heart of Rotherham town centre, it might not be the easiest spot to reach for those coming from further afield, and parking could be a faff.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

Areas for Improvement
  • One or two visitors have given it a middling rating, suggesting it might not hit the mark for everyone, perhaps if you're after something a bit more upscale.

  • The operating hours can vary a little, which might catch you out if you're planning a late visit.

  • Some parts, like the annexe, could do with a bit of a refresh – outdated carpets and rooms might not feel as polished as the rest.
  • There have been a few hitches with room servicing, such as missing items like milk, coffee, or towels, which can put a dampener on things.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always welcoming with a genuine smile and top-notch service that makes you feel right at home.

Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes might not be cooked quite to perfection, like a steak that was a tad overdone in one instance, which is a bit disappointing if you're after something specific.
  • As it's part of a chain, it can feel a touch generic at times, missing that unique local charm you might find in independent spots.

  • There can be the occasional slip-up with service, like mains arriving before you've finished your starters, which might throw off your meal a tad.
  • Sometimes menu items aren't available due to changes, which could be a bit disappointing if you're set on something specific.
  • While it's generally affordable, a few folks have mentioned small niggles with bookings or extras, so it's worth double-checking when you plan ahead.

Over all a nice place they didn’t have one menu item we wanted but that was due to menu changes the next day. They added extra chicken in to a meal by accident but then refunded the item no problem....

81/100
Red Lion Prosecco Lounge is a charming little bar in Rotherham that's cozy, stylish, and great for a casual drink with friends, boasting a solid 4.6 rating from those who've been.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely lovely and cozy, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • They've got a great selection of drinks, including some top-notch imported beers and cocktails like a smashing Negroni.
  • The staff are really friendly and welcoming, which adds to that homely feel and makes you want to come back.
  • It's stylishly decorated, giving it a fresh and inviting vibe without being overwhelming.
  • Ideal for meeting up with friends in the heart of Rotherham, as it's not too big or too small – just right for a good time.
Areas for Improvement

  • The operating hours seem a bit confusing from what's listed, which might make planning a visit tricky.
  • As it's unclaimed online, there's not much info available, like a website, to get the full scoop before heading over.
  • Not many recent reviews mean it could be hit or miss depending on the day, as things might have changed since the last ones.

The Mailcoach

4.0(174 reviews)
79/100
The Mailcoach is a no-frills Rotherham pub that's spot on for cheap drinks and a bit of chat, but it's hampered by cleanliness woes and a lack of buzz.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Inexpensive drinks make it a great spot for a quick pint, especially before a match.
  • The atmosphere is warm and friendly, with plenty of banter that keeps things lively.
  • It's got that loyal, community feel, with regulars who've been coming back for years.
Areas for Improvement
  • The place can be quite filthy and has a nasty smell, which might turn you off straight away.
  • Heating issues during busy times mean it can get uncomfortably cold, particularly for older visitors.
  • It lacks the vibrant atmosphere it once had, feeling a bit flat and lifeless these days.

Pros and Cons

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, which is a real treat for a casual night out without breaking the bank.
  • It's got a great atmosphere – clean, lively, and perfect for a relaxed chat or watching football on the big screens.

  • They offer entertainment like big screens for games, adding to the fun and making it a go-to spot for sports fans.

The Plough

Verified
3.9(271 reviews)
78/100
The Plough in Rotherham is a welcoming local spot for affordable drinks and live sports, but it has a few rough edges that might need sorting.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a cracking spot for catching live sports like football or rugby on their multiple HD screens – perfect for a match day with mates.
  • The drinks are inexpensive with some unbeatable offers, making it easy on the wallet for a casual night out.
  • The atmosphere has really picked up lately, feeling more welcoming and community-oriented, which is great for regulars.
  • Location-wise, it's spot on – right near Tesco, the train and bus stations, with free parking nearby, so it's dead convenient to pop in.
Areas for Improvement
  • The toilets are in a right state, which can put a damper on things and make you think twice about staying long.
  • Some folks have mentioned the bar staff coming across as a bit arrogant, which isn't ideal when you're just after a friendly chat.
  • It's a shame they don't serve any food, so if you're peckish, you'll have to head elsewhere for a bite.
  • There are reports of flies buzzing about, which isn't the most appealing for a relaxed pint.

The Story Teller is a welcoming Greene King pub in Rotherham, serving up solid carvery grub and a laid-back atmosphere, though it's not without a few niggles here and there.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The carvery is a real highlight – those slow-cooked meats are juicy and full of flavour, perfect for a hearty meal.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always up for a chat and making sure you have everything you need.
  • It's super family-friendly with things like a soft play area and beer garden, ideal for a relaxed day out.
  • Plenty of parking and a convenient spot near the shopping park and football stadium, making it easy to pop in.
  • Good value for money with affordable options, especially their small plates and carvery deals.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss; some dishes like the roast potatoes or gammon might turn up greasy or underwhelming.
  • The area around the pub feels a bit run-down in places, which takes away from the overall vibe.
  • Occasional maintenance slips, like the carving station needing a quick tidy, even when things are buzzing.
  • It's your standard Greene King spot, so it might not stand out if you're after something more unique or upscale.

77/100
The Prince of Wales Hotel is a welcoming budget spot in Rotherham, with clean rooms and a lively bar, though it has its quirks that might make you think twice.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The rooms are clean and well-presented, with carpets that are a cut above what you'd expect from a budget spot, and they even smell fresh – no damp in sight.
  • It's in a brilliant location, right in Rotherham town centre, close to the motorway, shopping areas, and even the football ground, making it dead handy for a quick getaway or exploring.
  • The bar is well-stocked and lively, perfect for a quiet drink or a bit of fun, and the service is spot on with a friendly landlady who's clued up on the local area.
  • Lager's been much improved lately, which is a nice touch if you're after a decent pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can feel a tad uneasy with mentions of undercover officers hanging about, which might put a damper on things if you're after a completely relaxed vibe.
  • As a budget hotel, it doesn't quite hit the high-end marks – think basic comforts rather than luxuries, so it might not suit if you're expecting something fancy.
  • Operating hours aren't clearly listed, which could be a bit of a nuisance if you're planning a visit and want to know when it's open.

Platinum Lounge & Bar in Rotherham is a welcoming little gem with smashing food, lively entertainment, and friendly vibes, making it a solid choice for a casual get-together or a fun night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, welcoming, and always ready to go the extra mile, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food is a real highlight; those jacket potatoes and paninis are delicious, served with a free side salad and coleslaw, and they're fantastic value for a quick bite or a relaxed meal.
  • They've got cracking entertainment with live DJs and music on Friday and Saturday nights, plus it's open late until 1am, perfect for dancing the night away or enjoying a cheeky cocktail.
  • The drinks selection is top-notch, including great coffees, teas, wines, beers, and spirits, all sourced from quality partners like Balmforth & Co.
  • It's a versatile spot for all sorts of occasions, from after-work drinks and family lunches to parties and events, with VIP packages and space for larger groups.
Areas for Improvement
  • The overall rating sits at 3.9 out of 5, which suggests that while many folks have a great time, there might be the odd disappointing visit that isn't captured in the latest reviews we've seen.
  • With only 36 reviews in total, it's a bit under the radar, so you might not get as much buzz or variety of feedback compared to busier spots.
  • The operating hours seem a tad confusing with some repeated listings, and while it's open six days a week, that one closed day could be a nuisance if you're planning a Sunday outing.
  • Prices aren't specified anywhere, which might leave you wondering if it's affordable or a splurge – always worth checking beforehand to avoid any surprises.
