Words from Visitors
Guestbook
“ A busy bar with late opening hours. There are multiple TVs spread across the venue, which in recent times have been used to play the Euros football. They often have live music events and a DJ every few weeks. They serve food until 7 pm. The venue and its grounds are kept tidy and in order. The staff are friendly and helpful. ”
“ Our favourite place to eat in the Lake District! We accidentally found this place last year and planned this years trip just so we get to visit it once more. The fish and chips are just divine and all the burgers are so creative and delicious. The place itself is very nice inside and they are dog friendly too. Everyone who works there are really nice and the views of the mountains, while you eat there is just a wonderful add on. ”

“ Nice, clean sports-themed bar that also serves some real ale. Two floors with a bar on the ground floor. A mixture of comfy chairs and stools. A couple of large screens to watch the football and a pool table. Food looks good, but we didn't try it on our visit. ”
“ Went for a few pints in an evening while on holiday, the vibes were impeccable with great music, good lighting, comfy chairs and kind staff. The drinks were of a high standard and were at a reasonable price for the area. I shall be returning when back in the area and definitely recommend for anyone visiting Keswick. ”
