Quinno _ left this review about The Furness Railway (JD Wetherspoon)
Very impressive externally (this a department store conversion, apparently). The interior itself is a rather middling with not much to write home about, a number of rooms knocked-through along the front of the building and rather dimly-lit in certain sections, why do Spoons have an aversion to the occasional 60W bulb? However no real complaints with my pint of Theako OP (NBSS 3) to accompany my Mexican spud. I stayed in the hotel upstairs and can report that the room was very good. Given the paucity of options in Barrow town centre, this one is an absolute no-brainer if you find yourself up here.

In common with most Barrow pubs, this branch of Wetherspoon's had its fair share of drunken people. Although, it was much quieter than many of the town's other pubs, both in terms of volumes of people and the noise levels. The denizens of Barrow seem to like a little loud music. So, perhaps that was why there were less customers here.
Having negotiated the bouncers on the door, my next challenge was to get served. A barman had clocked me, but carried on doing what he was doing until a bar manager instructed him to serve me! The usual Greene King Abbot, Ruddles Best & Sharp's Doom Bar were all on, along with 3 guests - Summerskills Devon Dew, Magpie Jay IPA & Bowman Wallops Wood. The cider was Weston's Old Rosie.
A group of young girls opposite me looked a little worse for wears. They were sat at a table full of pitchers containing all manner of strange colourful concoctions. I would imagine that there would be a few hangovers for them on the Saturday morning.
