The Cumberland Inn, Carlisle

The Cumberland Inn has seating in the windows to the right of the entrance before a serving counter that runs up the right-hand wall, standard and premium keg products were available. A mosaic floor runs along the counter and to the left is wood panelled open plan seating area on laminate flooring that is faced from the front by a stage, on which is a wood panelled DJ booth that looks like a court dock. At the rear is a dartboard, and green banquettes are found along more wood panelled walls that wrap around a pool table. Monday night football via Sky Sports was muted on the televisions while some music from the 1970s played in the background. Out the back is a small beer garden with picnic tables where the music is also piped into. I quite liked it in here, but some of the old gents were extremely pissed so it may be somewhere to avoid at the weekend.

Situation as described five years ago by OB. No Real Ale. I have updated the Camra website too.

Very good looking pub from the outside and the inside is on CAMRA's national inventory. Sadly, it seems to have fallen on hard times with just a very average Cumberland ale on handpump. which I suppose is more for the name rather than anything else. Lots of wooden panels which look good, but there's also a DJ rig, so it's probably very different on a Friday night than on our visit on a Wednesday afternoon. Should be so much better.
