Calamity's Bar in Consett

Oh, Calamity's Bar is one of those hidden gems that really hits the spot if you're after a straightforward, no-fuss evening. From what I've gathered, the drinks are spot on for value, and the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome, like you're part of the gang from the get-go. It's got that cosy, community feel where conversations flow as freely as the pints, which is just what you want from a good bar. On the flip side, it's a shame there's no clear info on when they're open, and it looks like they might be shut for now, which could put a damper on spontaneous plans. Still, if you can catch it on a good day, it's worth a punt for a proper local experience – just keep an eye out for updates to avoid any disappointment.
