About This Pub
Ah, the Britannia – it's one of those local spots in Scunthorpe that you might stumble upon for a laid-back evening, especially if you're watching your wallet. I have to say, the cheap drinks, like that £1 offer on Fridays, really hit the mark for a no-fuss night out; it's just the thing when you're catching up with friends without breaking the bank. The staff sound lovely from what folks have said, and it's kept tidy, which makes it feel welcoming rather than dingy. Plus, the music gets a thumbs up for keeping the energy up. On the flip side, though, there are a few niggles – some chat about dodgy drinks, like fake vodka, which isn't what you want when you're out for a good time. And the crowd? Well, it can be a mixed bag, with a few reviews painting it as a bit lively or even chaotic, so if you're after something more refined, it might not be your cup of tea. It's only open a handful of days, too, which means you'll need to check ahead. All in all, it's worth a go if you're in the area and up for something unpretentious, but go in with your eyes open to the pros and cons – that's the key to enjoying places like this.

There are whispers about the drink quality not always being up to scratch, like mentions of fake vodka, which could put a dampener on things.
-
The crowd can be a bit rowdy, with some reviews hinting at a mix of folks that might not be everyone's idea of a good time.
-
It's only open a few days a week, so you might find yourself planning around that, which isn't ideal for spontaneous visits.

The reviews are a bit dated, from a couple of years back, so it's hard to say if it's still buzzing as it was.

A weekend pub with music, most of Scunthorpe's notable imbeciles pass through its doors drink shots and try to pull what classes as girls.....mostly ones called shaz and maz
