Bear on the Square, Millom

an end terrace pub, that once formed a part of the Millom Workingmen's Club. As its sister place, the Millom Workies is next door (the games and keg beer outlet) and plain, this at least has some interest. The place is predominantly in cream, but is broken-up by pilasters - a sort of tan painted set on the lower storey and in stone on the upper storey. The interior is a single room in cream, white and red, with some fake wall beams. The polysyrene ceiling tiles betrayed the former use maybe. There is green perimeter seating, as well as rough wood tables and chairs, and old photos on the walls. Dotted about, there are some models of ships, some brasses and some books. The TVs were not on and the music was general and at a decent level. The service was fine and again, the locals friendly, engaging in conversation (which is why i ended up staying here). Beer; usual tap stuff with Leeds Pale, Naylors IPA, Cotleigh Tawney Bitter, Concrete Cow Midsummer Ale and Hardknott's Atomic Narsissus - i was in here for a while and had halves of all - well kept. This is a nice friendly place and without doubt, i would return.
