| A few doors down from a pet shop advertising "tarantula starter kits" and boasting a beautiful tiled exterior, I instantly warmed to the place and wandered in hoping that the inside wouldn't disappoint:-which it didn't. Lots of little rooms and snugs with fireplaces and wood panelling:-some of it looking more original than others, but cosy and plenty of atmosphere. Nice clean pints of Theakstons bitter and Black Sheep, served up by very efficient bar girls. I'm not a betting man but I would put money on this being the best little pub in Carlisle. tarkatherotter - 18 Aug 2008 16:34 |
| One of the few REAL pubs in Carlisle, 2 real ales usually Theakstons & Black Sheep, neither are great favorites of mine ( too common around here and rather bland ) but always in good condition. The tiled exterior shows the Camra mob ( thats me folks ) that Lager is not a recent sad trend, these antique tiles were covered by board until a few years ago and may now be listed. Well worth a detour from the station, also try the Kings Head a few minutes walk through the lanes. beer_finder_general - 3 Aug 2008 10:47 |
| Traditional Theakstons pub close to the city centre, sporting a fine tiled exterior. It's a one bar pub, but with a number of different drinking areas, featuring wood pannelling and a number of old photos of local interest, mainly of the now demolished Carlisle Theatre, which apparently stood virtually opposite. Disappointingly, no real ale was available on my first visit ( 2 September ) , but a pint of keg Theakstons Mild was just about passable On a subsequent visit ( 4 September ), no Theakstons real ale was available either. I was told that this was because recent batches had been cloudy, possibly due to yeast contamination, and had therefore been returned to the brewery. By some splendid irony, which will probably be appreciated by BITE regulars, the pub was able to offer Black Sheep Bitter (!!) which went down quite well If Carlisle has such a thing as a "must visit" pub, this may well be it JohnBonser - 26 Sep 2007 17:59 |
