The pub is found in Wye, Kent, TN25 5DP.
In Bridge Street, first opened its doors as a micropub over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend 2013 with the evening session on Friday 31st May. The proprietor was Graham Austen, a cabinet maker who had fought objections from some villagers to obtain planning permission and change of use from being a hairdresser's salon. Located at the village end of Bridge Street this one roomer is entered up several steps. As Barbers Arms it was bare boarded with a bar counter, the beer was kept (jacket cooled) in a back room stillaged for gravity dispense on racking made of builders' scaffolding. Large front window made up of individual panes. Bench seating - one of which has its back made of beer cask staves. Unisex toilet at back of building. Was then sister pub to Bookmakers Arms at Charing. Closed in early February 2019 with a Facebook post explaining why: 18 February at 02:11 Thank you to everyone who has supported the Barbers Arms over the past five and a half years. We are very sad that we were forced to close a bar which meant so much to us and many others; we had some fantastic times! Unfortunately the landlord wanted the property back to run his own venture, so we had no choice but to close. We hope to see some of you in the sister micro pub The Bookmakers Arms in Charing, which has the same great vibe as The Barbers. Reopened as Sawyers on 5th April 2019 saying it was a proper pub not a micropub, still selling Kentish real ales.
We have visited this pub 23 times, seen 45 different beers and tried 33 of them.
