About
Doncaster Brewery & Tap is a pub in the centre of Doncaster.
In the downstairs bar there are 6 cask beers on handpull - the majority of which are brewed on the premises. There are 3 keg beers, one of which is Budvar, and 6 handpulled traditional still ciders. You can also choose from a range of wines, gins, European bottled beers, cans, soft drinks, coffee, tea and there are pub snacks - crisps, nuts and Pork Pies.
Upstairs is the Dystopia Bar which is a cosy space with sofas and mood lighting. This bar has 10 keg lines and a fridge full of ever changing cans and bottles from around the world.
There is an outside seating area to the rear of the business which is open when the weather suits.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Spent a pleasant hour or so here the evening after a wedding earlier in the day (a Thursday). A gentle 'come down' was exactly what was needed, and this Brewery Tap was perfect. The local ale was too quality, and the general ambience was totally in keeping. If I lived locally, I'd be a regular, based on that one visit.

My hubby and I were in Doncaster for some non league football and pre game we decided to call in the Brewery Tap. They have 6 hand pulls on, 3 of which were guest beers. There is a bar upstairs for keg beers. We were made to feel very welcome and will certainly be calling in again. As we are members of Huddersfield CAMRA we will be mentioning it to our fellow members. Well worth a visit.

Hi Carol,
Thank you for your fantastic Review. You were lucky to call in when we had the 3 Custard Beers on the bar from Turning Point. My favourite was definitely the Death Matter.
See you again soon.

Used the room upstairs to hold a birthday party in the daytime. Could decorate and took our own food. Staff were amazing,stout month meant lovely ales to try. Music at a nice level. We set up a photo corner too for guests. Altogether an amazing afternoon. Approx 30 guests mostly settees some tables and chairs.

My wife and I went to the Brewery Tap on Sunday with two friends, David and Alan, who are regulars. It was only our second visit and we can’t wait to go back.
They have a wide range of beers and ciders (and good lager!) and complimentary cheese, pate and biscuits. The best thing about this place though is the brilliant atmosphere. Everyone was just so friendly.
I agree with an earlier reviewer - five stars are not enough. This is undoubtedly now our favourite place to have a few drinks. Unfortunately, we live 45 miles away so it is not too near for us but we are very much looking forward to our next visit,

Visited recently as I heard that they had opened a new bar upstairs 'Dystopia'. I was very impressed. A good selection of keg beers ranging from session style beers to more 'boozy' styles. Also, they have brought spirits into the mix as well with a good selection of vodka, bourbon, whiskey and rum amongst others.
I would highly recommend.

Hi Kaine,
Thank you for your fantastic 5* Review.
We are really pleased that you like the Dystopia Bar. It is totally different to the downstairs bar and we hope it will attract more people who like their craft beer.

Visited the Brewery Tap on Saturday as the St Leger was postponed, and had a whale of a time.
The beer was outstanding; service was friendly and quick; I didn’t eat there, as I had already had breakfast at my hotel, but the Reubens sandwiches looked glorious and were certainly getting rave reviews from others. And they sell Two Farmers crisps, which are the best on the market in my opinion.
But best of all was the wonderful community spirit. As someone who had never been there before, and sat on my own until my friends arrived, it wasn’t long before one of the regulars, the lovely Mary, came over and had a chat. There is live music and poetry every Saturday lunchtime and it was a vibrant and very entertaining experience- I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m up in Doncaster.

A great little place to visit, tucked away down a side street. Whether you are on your own, in a couple or with a group you'll always get a friendly greeting and as much help as you need to decide what drink is for you. Friendly, welcoming staff and locals together with a fantastic range of beers, including their own brews and a good range of real ciders.
Spotless, and mainly music free so you can chat easily. Various things going on during the week - music, quiz, spoken word, book club, language group and more.
These people really work hard to make this such a lovely place and it's well worth seeking out this place.
