| The pub in Alnwick, open late and busy with good ales and loads of whiskys. It's a house up a side street. rpf1955 - 27 Mar 2012 13:11 |
| Good, good pub. Very well-kept real ales (I counted six handpulls but only three on), draught Hoegaarden, a whole raft of bottled Belgian beers and more single malts than you could wish for. The interior was a bit out-dated and 'club'-like, but still once you find this pub you might not want to leave. Also very knowleadgble barstaff, very enthusiastic about what they're selling and more than willing to chat. Nice little outside area to one side as well. FightingFit - 12 Oct 2011 14:25 |
| If you want to drink, I concur: the best pub in Alnwick by a long chalk. Usually at least 3 real ales on, up to 6 at weekends. All top quality, as they shift so much, nothing has time to go stale! A big variety of beers on offer, from all over the country (EG Skinners, from Cornwall, when I was there). Usually, there are different beers for each session, as the turnover is so fast. I calculated approximately 130 different single malts available. Barman seems knowledgable on the malts - the wife tried one on his advice, and loved it. Not many many visitors (as it's a bit hard to find) but busy with locals every night. However, they are friendly here - more than I can say for some of the pubs in Alnwick! A great, old-fashioned (in a nice way) atmosphere. A real, local boozer. If you are in Alnwick, do not miss the opportunity to visit this fantastic little pub. If only there were more like it. Note: only open evenings (most days), and no food. bluebootycat - 26 Sep 2010 20:35 |
| Cracking pub, the best in Alnwick (sadly not a hard competition to win). A good selection of rotating guest beers, a massive selection of whisky and bottled Belgian beers, friendly locals, board games, no terrible music and a barman who is one of the politest I have met...and an annual leek growing competition. Well worth seeking out. monhiem1983 - 19 Sep 2010 10:38 |
| Great back street pub, five minutes walk from the theatre and well worth seeking out. No piped muzak, no games machines, just excellent beer in a friendly atmosphere. Excellent range of whiskies and Belgian beers, the latter also available to take away. Yellerbelly - 25 Jul 2010 11:19 |
