Carlisle's main town centre is deathly quiet during the week but there's some life here after Tuesday. Located in the narrow pedestrianised area and the building looks tidy. Relatively nice place though the dreaded snot green paint has been glooped over the 70’s style beams and trim. At the far end is a cosy upper level with banquettes. A very nice Cumbrian Esthwaite Bitter (NBSS 3.5) offset by a horrendously pitted glass and the epilepsy inducing flashing of the fruit machine. GBG listed. Almost a classic, and could be with a couple of small changes for the better.

on first approach it looks like an old historic pub and probably is, but inside it’s quite uninspiring with sparse decor and only limited character. But as a pub I quite liked it - friendly staff and local ales on the bar, including a decent Carlisle Porter. Good jukebox and a typical unpretentious town centre pub atmosphere. For Carlisle, it’s good.

Bar hangers are alive and well in Carlisle. Thought the plague had put pay to them.
As a result, its very hard for the uninitiated to get a glimpse of what is on offer.
What was found was a good pint of Esthwaite Bitter. Good Beer Guide 2021.
The pub is a bit identikit old pub. Some bench seating, some high tables/stools. A small, very plain ourside courtyard.
Clean and functional. Won't stay in the memory for long.
