About This Pub
Ah, The Crown – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a local gem, you know? From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, it's got this warm, inviting atmosphere where you can settle in for a chat or catch some live music on the stage; it's especially great if you're up for a game of pool without forking out extra. The drink selection is pretty decent with plenty of drafts to choose from, and when the sun's out, that beer garden with its covered area is an absolute treat for al-fresco sipping. On the flip side, it's a shame they don't have any real ale on tap, which might leave traditionalists wanting more variety, and the opening times can be a tad unpredictable, so planning ahead is key. All in all, it's a welcoming place that does community and entertainment well, making it worth a visit if you're in Scunthorpe and after a straightforward, enjoyable pub experience.

They've got a cracking selection of draft drinks, including premium lagers and ciders, perfect for a good catch-up over a pint.

Recent Reviews
The Crown is an impressive traditional two roomed pub. The comfortable lounge has a stage for live music. The bar has a pool table, and it was free pool when we visited. There is a wide selection of draft drinks, including premium largers and cider. There is no hand-pulled cask conditioned real ale, but there is Tetley bitter, and it was only two pounds a pint. The staff are very welcoming and it is a friendly community pub definitely worth visiting.
Great local with fun & friendly staff!
Come here when I can, nice friendly atmosphere Good staff well priced. Have entertainment on most weekends and always a good time had by all. Unlike a few local pubs you always feel comfortable with the way the locals treat you very welcoming and good value.
Kind regards

When i was there,a ska/reggae act was on SKABURSTuk,,it was a great night,prices not bad,small dancefloor,bar service was quick,,goodnight was had by all
We gave a friend a surprise birthday party there, the staff were very helpful, and the separate dance floor being up a few steps at the back of the room allowed those non-dances to watch, sing along and chair dance. Mixed group of all ages, great music and company makes a great night.
