This Pub is Closed Long Term

Sports themed bar downstairs, tables for "cue" sports upstairs.

Re-opened in April 2015, SoBAR is a Sports bar with a huge downstairs floor space which includes a massive central TV screen (projector) and numerous screens around the walls. Football strips and balls, and boxing gloves all shown in glass cases. Several darts boards along the wall opposite the bar.

A mix of high and low tabled and sofa seating throughout.

The former Rileys Snooker Club, the tables downstairs have been taken out, but there remain 5 snooker, 5 American pool and 6 UK pool tables upstairs.

A wide selection of font dispense lagers, including "Premium" Peroni. The barman (Steve) reports they are "hoping to get Real Ale" - hence the listing.... in hope.

The Website boasts............."The Ultimate Party Venue and the best seats & screens for sports. A Chilled out place to meet up with friends…"

Not to be confused with the SoBAR chain which operates alcohol free bars in Englandshire!

Reported as closed. The website has gone and the last Facebook post was April 2022. Newspaper reports confirm closure April 2023 following failure to pay property rent.
