Once upon a hen night, I visited this place with a big crowd who were up from south of the border. As they were all staying in the Euro Hostel, to which this bar is attached, this was the base of operations where all the Wally's who didn't travel up with the wild Cumbrian lasses would be meeting. The drinks were cheap, and it was fairly quiet when the night began, so you could get at the bar and order what you wanted. The seating is comfy and plentiful, and there's also a pool table for your pubby entertainment needs.
The staff very kindly had allowed us to set up some saucy Hen games, one of which almost resulted in various blindfolded ladies accidentally walking into the gent's toilets (it was like pin the tail on the donkey but different). The staff even took pictures of our enormous group all together, which was very above and beyond the call of duty, so well done nice barmen!!!
All in all, twas a quiet wee bar that was a great starting place for the whole evening. Probably not somewhere you'd stay the whole night, but nice enough in an easy to reach location. In my experience, you don't often find bars attached to Hostels so nice! read more
