The Barley Sheaf in Church Street has a rich history as Liskeard's most bohemian pub and one of Cornwall's leading live music venues. The Barley's ambience has made it popular with locals, musicians and students alike.

Since taking over the Barley Sheaf in April 2005, landlord Gary Swift, aka Swifty, himself a seasoned entertainer, has striven to enhance the live music experience. Swifty's paramour Emma Hill is also an experienced musician, teaching and playing drums and bass. Click here for drum lessons.

Gone are the solo artists and backing track duos of the past, replaced with the cream of Cornwall and Devon's live bands. The stage itself has been extended a foot forward and raised six inches, and an impressive house PA complete with monitors and state of the art LED lighting rig has been installed.


As well as the regular Thursday night entertainment and regular Jam Sessions, the Barley has some weekend gigs around Bank Holidays. The regular fixtures remain - free pool table on Monday & Tuesday, League Skittles on Tuesday, League Darts on Friday and League Pool and Quiz Night on Sunday.

Casque Marked Real Ales available are St Austell Breweries' Hicks Special Draft aka HSD (5%), the award winning Tribute (4.2%) and dark ale Black Prince (4%). Increasingly popular amongst real ales drinkers is the Mixtio, half HSD and half Black Prince.

Although not strictly a wine bar, the Barley offers an impressive baby bottle wine list, including Blossom Hill California Red, White & White Zinfandel Rose, Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay & Shiraz Cabernet and Les Bories Cabernet Sunignon.

Single malt whiskeys include Glenmorangie (10 yrs), The Balvenie (12 yrs), Lagavulin (16 yrs) and The Macallan (18 yrs).

Moet champagne on ice is available for special occasions.

 Cocktails available on request.


The pub jukebox is a digital hard drive based system with a database of over 28,000 mp3 songs that are continually updated. Features every Top Forty hit single since 1952.


The Barley Sheaf serves alcohol until 11pm from Sunday through to Wednesday, and until midnight on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. You are allowed to drink up for 45 minutes only. The beer garden will close at half past and the door must be closed at 12:45 for legal reasons.


Please keep the noise down on your way out.
