50 High Street, Burton upon Trent, DE14 1JS (View on Google Map)

Large, attractive, two-storey building with bay windows on first floor, located close to the town centre. Renamed several times over the last ~20 years.

Its current incarnation offers burgers, games, axe throwing, mini golf, keg beers, spirits and cocktails.

Historic Interest

An 18th-century pub, the Blue Posts (also called the Blue Stumps, incorporating Yeomans Brewery from 1745), once stood on the site. (Confusingly, a Blue Stoops pub/brewery also seems to have existed on the High Street around that period.) The Blue Posts appears to have been acquired by Marston’s around 1890. It was sold to Worthington’s in 1925, demolished and replaced by a new Blue Posts in 1927 (the year Worthington’s merged with Bass, Ratcliffe & Gretton). It remained a Bass pub until ~2002/3 (some uncertainty; sale not recorded), then a privately owned free-house until bought by Enterprise Inns in 2006 and renamed the Cosmopolitan. There followed further renaming (amid intermittent closures), the pub eventually re-opening in May 2015 as The Crossing. In 2025 it changed to become Hangar Bar.
