Will Larter left this review about Magnolia
Self-described as a Belgian beer bar and bistro, this is nevertheless near enough to a pub to merit inclusion on this site. I called in for a beer, of the British variety, during my annual pre-Christmas visit to the Lakes. It is an unusual building, probably originally a shop, I would guess, with flat roofs either side of a pitched and skylighted central section. It has a plain wooden floor and bench and booth seating with plain tables, and some stools made from chimney pots. The bar is to the right and has a padded front. There are three hand pumps and nine keg fonts, plus a large menu of bottled beers, mostly Belgian. The real ales are all from local breweries, Ulverston and Tirril, and my half of Laughing Gravy (all Ulverston beers have Laurel & Hardy derived names) was fine but not memorable.
