About This Pub

Ah, Bitter & Twisted Micro Pub – what a hidden gem in Coalville! I have to say, it's one of those places that just warms you up with its friendly buzz and top-notch drinks. You've got this brilliant array of real ales, ciders, gins, and even some inventive cocktails that make it stand out from the crowd – perfect for settling in with friends for a proper chat. The staff are absolute stars, always up for a laugh, and the atmosphere feels genuinely welcoming, like you're part of the gang from the moment you walk in. Plus, the owner seems dead keen on making things better, which is lovely to see in a small spot like this. It's got that extra touch of character with the old ceramic tiles and hooks from its butchers days, adding a bit of history that makes it feel special. But, fair's fair, it's not all roses – if you're a smoker, you'll be out on the high street, which can be a drag, especially in dodgy weather. And every now and then, you might find yourself hanging about while the barman's finishing up with the regulars, which can put a slight dampener on things. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4.3, it's clear most folks have a good time here. If you're popping by, I'd say go for the drinks and the vibe, but keep those little downsides in mind – it's a solid choice for a relaxed night out, as long as you're not in a massive rush.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • Fantastic selection of drinks, with real ales, ciders, gins, and even some cracking cocktails that really hit the spot.
  • Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like you're among mates right from the off.
  • The owner is clearly passionate and always striving to improve, which adds a nice personal touch to the place.
  • It's got a quirky charm with the original ceramic tiles and hooks from its days as a butchers, giving it that unique local feel.
Cons
  • No smoking area means you'll have to step out onto the high street, which isn't ideal on a rainy evening.
  • You might end up waiting if the barman's in the midst of a chat with regulars, which can feel a bit frustrating.
  • The operating hours seem a tad inconsistent, and with it only open five days a week, it might not always be available when you fancy a pint.

Nice micro pub that used to be the local butchers. It has kept the ceramic tiles and hooks on one wall as a reminder of its past. A small bar serves 3 ales, a selection of ciders, lagers, bottled beers and spirits - including a reasonable selection of gins. Friendly staff and locals make it a welcoming place to pop into

Fun environment, great selection of drinks. Lots of different flavoured gins and gin liquors. My favourite is rhubarb and ginger. Only downside is no smoking area so if you want to smoke you have to stand outside on the high street. Nice staff and regulars.

Excellent little pub with a great owner and sole staff member. Slightly above average pricing but with the atmosphere you get with it you don't feel bad for it. Excellent array of excellent cider, real ales and as I have recently found out too, a wide selection of fantastic cocktails that really bring out it's soft interior. And if you have the chance to see a live band in its rather small Interior you won't half feel cosy.
