Barley Mow, Leicesterback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Called here on arrival in Leicester to find a clean and bright establishment. Decent Sunchaser, spotted the piano mentioned by trainman, noticed they charge £5 to use the toilets [non-customers of course!]

First pub on Saturday - Everards house, near station. Tiger, Beacon, Sunchaser, Original, & ‘Gaffers Gold’ (later seen elsewhere as Janet’s Gaffers Gold?), Everards beers in very good condition. Leather sofas look out of place at front of pub but further to the right & rear the furniture becomes more traditional, continuous single bar winds round the whole, but in front/centre/rear sections. Piano (‘do not play’) centre rt, bar football table to the rear. Pumpclips on wall suggest a rotating guest. Was closed when we returned for a pre-train beer ystdy but the landlady took the trouble to come out to explain that they were taking a breather, having been open since 07:00(!) serving Leic fans prior to the crucial (unsuccessful) relegation match at Stoke. Bad luck to the Foxes, a reprieve to GDS.

Enthusiastic landlady, keen to promote pub and real ale - should be supported

Untypically quirky Everards pub in a quirky part of Leicester. Makes an effort to maintain interest (Warsaw tracks were playing). Decent if unexceptional Beacon, but then I always find that with Beacon.

Came in here on Saturday as we were up for the Saints game. A full range of Evereards was available together with the seasonal Sleighbell. Nice little pub near the station.
Recommended.

we always use this pub in leice when we come to the summer sundae weekender music in august. We discovered the top floor restaurant for a fantastic breakfast, superior to anything sold any where else we have tried and the cost is so low. We only hope the ladies who run this restaurant can continue to stay open , they had their first anniversary this year and are struggling to make a profit. Hoping that when we visit next year its still operating above the pub and we can enjoy another mega full english with great coffee as well. Perhaps the people of leic dont appreciate good cooking and all they want is crappy fast food!!!!

Quite a good Everards house near the train station, serving the normal Everards fayre in normal sparkler-ised Everards condition.
Patrons are on the acceptable side of rowdy, very middle-aged laddish. there's a coffee bar upstairs that's open during the week.
Landlord and landlady were offering around free sangria last Sunday, so novelty points for that.
Worth a stop if you're waiting for a train, not a bad little place.

Very good, comfortable, very friendly staff, quiet with a background, good range of well kept ales,perfect distance of the city centre and station, loos could be better, but will visit again.

Went here before the Leicester v Spurs FA Cup tie (the less said about the match the better). Not a bad pub – unfussy, straight-forward and down to earth. In a city centre full of chain pubs and trendy bars, the Barley Mow is a welcome find - one of the few traditional style pubs that we found in the area. Pretty much empty given that it was an hour before kick off although I was informed that they don’t usually open on Sundays (they were about to close when we left at 6.00). They do a decent pint of Everards and have a couple of guest beers on offer. One extended room with plenty of seating and a few bits of Leicester Tigers memorabilia on the walls. For a pub that obviously caters for a sport crowd there were disappointingly no TVs (or at least none that we could see). We had hoped to catch the end of Burton v Man Utd but it was not to be. They were playing some decent indie / britpop music though! Karaoke nights advertised. Friendly staff (including the informative doorman).
