[edit][add listing] Drink

Doncaster is awash with drinking establishments and is a pub crawler's dream with all the pubs within a concentrated area. Promise me one thing though when you visit Doncaster and indulge in your favourite pastime, visit possibly one of the best pubs the town has to offer, Tut 'n' Shive. Also never ever rely on Walkabout as a final destination, it so often puts a dampener on proceedings and leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth. Probably that crappy Australian lager.
