Brewery Arts Bar and Restaurant in Kendal

Ah, Brewery Arts Bar and Restaurant – it's one of those places in Kendal that just feels like a hidden gem, tucked away on Highgate. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are absolute stars; they're always on hand to recommend a nice dark ale or make you feel right at home, which really adds to the warm, relaxed vibe. The food's another winner – think tasty lamb kebabs and outstanding cheesecakes that leave you wanting more, making it a great choice for a proper sit-down meal. On the flip side, though, some folks have mentioned the real ales can have a musty taste, which is a bit of a letdown and probably means they need to give their lines a good clean. Plus, it's a pity they've stripped out those old beer vats, as it took away some of that historical character that could have made it even more special. And watch out if you're driving; there's a parking fee, and the entrance isn't the easiest to spot, so you might need to plan ahead. All in all, it's worth a visit for a good night out, but go in with your eyes open to those little niggles – it's still got that charm that keeps people coming back.
