The Barrels is 'must visit' Hereford institution that welcomes everyone. Local CAMRA Pub of the Year no less than seven times – most recently in 2017 - it is a community pub of the highest order. No food, no gimmicks, but oodles of character across five rooms, it has a fantastic covered courtyard to the rear that hosts a charity beer and music festival each August bank holiday weekend. Events include jazz (first Mon eve) and comedy (intermittent Weds eves). Television available throughout for major events, otherwise in one bar only.
