Beehive in Carlisle

Ah, the Beehive – it's one of those pubs that just draws you in with its warm, welcoming feel, especially if you're a fan of footie or rugby. I've heard from folks who've popped in that the staff are absolute gems, always ready with a smile and a bit of banter, which really makes the place feel like a second home. The food's reliable too – nothing groundbreaking, but it's tasty, well-priced pub classics that pair perfectly with a pint. Plus, with all the sports on offer and handy perks like the Greene King app for cheaper drinks, it's brilliant for catching the big games or even enjoying a quiz night. It's super family-oriented and even welcomes dogs, so it's ideal if you're out with the little ones or your furry mate. On the flip side, though, it can turn into a bit of a madhouse on match days – the crowds and noise might put you off if you're after a peaceful evening. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time in Carlisle, as long as you plan ahead for the busier moments; I'd say it's worth a visit for the atmosphere alone, but keep expectations realistic for a classic pub experience.
