Top 10 Bars & Clubs in Lake District, England
Cumbria's valleys and fells (as the low mountains are known) are home to idyllic villages, high moorlands and picturesque lakes. Literary buffs will enjoy Wordsworth's Dove Cottage (go in March to see daffodils), and if you've got kids in tow, visit The World of Beatrix Potter. Or just enjoy a leisurely drive through beautiful scenery.

As a Tex-Mexan myself, this food is absolutely delicious. The venue is gorgeous and has thoughtful, tasteful decoration. The staff are amazing, such terrific service. We were a large party and everything was fabulous. Portion sizes are large (come hungry). Really enjoyed eating here.

5 of us went here for a couple of drinks and stayed for a lot more! We were greeted when we entered and the barman/landlord found us a table to sit 5 which was safely distanced from others. It is a quirky Jennings pub with very friendly staff serving a range of real ales aswell as Guinness and lagersall at a reasonable price too - perfect for a group of mixed drinkers. Unfortunately we eventually had to leave as we'd booked into a restaurant elsewhere in town.

We stayed in Cockermouth for a couple of nights and spent a fair bit of time in here on both nights. The pub is very much to our taste, have very friendly staff and a good selection of local real ales (refreshingly there were some strong ones, which a lot of pubs seem reluctant to sell) plus Warsteiner on draught. Prices are very reasonable. Well worth a visit. Plenty of 'local characters' in there - always a bonus.

Great old fashioned but new pub. Friendly staff and a good selection of ales. Got here on Monday quiz night and only got a table as one team cancelled Quiz wasn't too hard although the quiz masters jokes were atrocious. Really enjoyed the night.

What a great pub The New Union has become under the new landlord. Four cask ales that change every few days, craft keg beers too, and more ciders than you can shake a stick at. There's always something going on at The New Union. Before the lockdown it was Quiz Night, Music Night, Vegan Food Night, Craft Afternoon, Whisky Tasting, Thai Food Night, the list goes on... During lockdown it was Online Whisky Tastings, Online Music Sessions, Cask Beer Take Away (contactless through the window!!), Full Online Shop, the list goes on again... After lockdown, it's pop-up Fish 'n' Chip Fridays, pop-up Burger Night Saturdays, socially distanced picnic benches in the car park, new benches on the covered decking, and now a full "Traditional Pub Grub" food offering Monday to Thursday with a new chef, extra staff and carefully chosen social distancing adaptations inside. The list still goes on... Phil never stops innovating, and puts customer service at the top of every new idea. I could not be more pleased that The New Union is my local ????

The Golden Rule, tucked away off the main road in Ambleside, is a traditional and unchanging multi-roomed pub in the heart of The Lake District with a reputation that spreads around the world. Ever popular with varied mix of local residents, visitors from near and far, the young and old, walkers, climbers, mountain bikers, artists and writers, the Rule is just the place to have a drink and a chat.

My Husband and I have been visting the Golden Rule for 10 years with our two Westies. We always get a warm welcome from the Landlord and Landlady with a treat for the dogs waiting. It's lovely to see Rosie their little dog and chat to the locals whilst enjoying the ales and a pork pie. Looking forward to seeing you again in a couple of weeks.

10. Bootleggers Bar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 42 reviews
With live music every Thursday, Friday and Sunday, interspersed with ticketed gigs throughout the year, there is something to suit everyone. For those who love to dance, we have a DJ every Saturday night. We believe Bootleggers is one of the best music venues in the North of England providing great music, and a great atmosphere. With a capacity of 500, a separate viewing gallery with its own bar, in-house PA System, in-house sound engineer and a great pint, we think we've about covered it all. The upstairs gallery bar and viewing area can be hired for private use; whether for private gigs, birthdays, exhibitions, work parties, hen parties etc. With an in-house PA System and Sound Engineer (if required), we can accommodate most musical requirements. You can also have your gig recorded by our sound engineer. We have vast experience of concerts, DJ nights, comedy nights, celebrations, etc. Please contact us, we'd be happy to discuss your requirements.
