Blue Scrumpy left this review about Kings Arms
Having visited the wrong King's Arms in Barrow town centre, I headed out of town on the last bus of the night up the hill to Hawcoat to the correct King's Arms, or at least the one listed in the Good Beer Guide that I wanted to visit.
After a brisk 10-minute walk from the bus stop, I arrived to find a two-roomed local with mainly elderly customers. Although there were a couple of youngsters in one corner.
The barmaid did seem to look at me a little suspiciously as a stranger to these parts. However, I was soon served a Kirkby Lonsdale Monumental, one of 2 permanent beers, the other being Cumbrian Legendary Ales Loweswater Gold. Guests were Bowness Bay Swan Blonder & Marston's Wainwright.
I'm not quite sure that this pub was worth the bus journey out of town, or the walk back down the hill to town. But I can imagine that it's a valuable asset to have if you live locally.

Popular local pub selling mainly from local micros, including Barngates, Bowness Bay, Cross Bay, Cumberland Breweries, Cumbrian Legendary Ales and Kirkby Lonsdale. A beer menu on a chalkboard lists forthcoming attractions. The pub, which has been on these premises since the 1860s, has been extensively extended and renovated, and features an open bar with adjacent separate rooms. Friendly staff a warm welcome. Well behaved dogs allowed in one of the rooms.
