Excellent establishment with a mix of locals & walkers/tourists, such a quirky bar with a wide variety of drinks to chose from however the best part of the bar for me was how friendly the staff are, it was our first trip to ingleton however it won’t be the last I even reviewed 5 stars for food although they don’t do it in guessing if they did it would also be banging too
This is a must stop. Friendly, good beer, amazzzzzzzing atmosphere! Even if you aren’t going on the waterfall hike. In fact it’s the place to be if you are waiting for friends to finish the hike! Hahah
A regular in the Good Beer Guide and deservedly so after having a pint of the Loweswater Gold. The main bar and the outdoor seating are both full even though it’s early doors so we’re in the Gaming Zone at the back. Got to be seen to be believed
Best bar of Ingleton, as a non local it feels like coming home. People are friendly and take you into the conversation. Everyone is welcome!
Very nice beers, great atmosphere. Lovely sun trap garden area and quiet back room. Barman couldn’t have been more accommodating. I think he was also the owner really nice chap. I would definitely go back again, Perfect end to the Ingleton walk to fall walk
Our friends live in the village and are always raving about this place - so when we came to stay with them we absolutely had to come and see what it was all about. What a place - so unusual and definitely very boundary pushing with its decor in the games room haha but I really love it - why just be traditional when you can make it your own and with how busy the place was, the decor was not an issue. Didnt get to see “the sanctum” - the outdoor space but I hear it’s brilliant and perfect for an afternoon and evening drink. Adam and Rob - the owners - are both super. Really attentive, knowledgable and funny. They know so many regular customers and their specific qualities! Such a really nice atmosphere - was like a bunch of friends all drinking in the one venue. We tried a new drink they started with that evening - Lanique and Cider Spritz. Call in and give it a try - so lovely. Anyhow, until next time boys! What a great evening.
Fantastic as always. Great selection of drinks in this fantastic characterful quirky Bar. A visit is an absolute must.
A great little pub! Incredibly friendly & knowledgeable staff. Mega atmosphere lovely wine selection with some different options & the right glassware for all the different beers too, which I LOVE! 10/10!
