About This Pub
You know, chatting about Deja Vu in Carlisle, it's got this brilliant charm with its focus on classic tunes that take you back to the good old days – think belting out your favourite hits and having a right laugh with friends. The staff really pull their weight, keeping things upbeat and ensuring you're looked after, which makes for some memorable evenings. On the flip side, though, it's not always the retro haven it promises; I've heard tales of it attracting a younger lot who turn it into more of a chaotic night out, with issues like bad behaviour going unchecked and the place getting a bit too messy for comfort. Still, if you head down early on one of its limited open nights, you might just snag a good spot and have a whale of a time – just keep your wits about you for a balanced night!
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, with fantastic music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s that gets everyone up and dancing – it's a real treat for a nostalgic night out.
-
The staff are friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home and adding to the overall fun vibe.
-
It's tucked away in the heart of Carlisle's lively night scene, perfect if you're after a proper singalong session with mates.
Cons
-
It doesn't always live up to the retro theme, sometimes feeling more like a modern rave bar with a younger crowd that can spoil the experience.
-
There have been reports of unacceptable behaviour, like verbal abuse, and security not stepping in, which leaves a bit of a sour taste.
-
The place can get overcrowded and messy, especially with drinks spilling everywhere, and it's only open a couple of nights a week, which might not suit everyone's plans.

Not a 60 70 80 bar, more like a 2100 rave bar. Rubbish.
Watching a older women be pushed off her seat and verbally abused is unacceptabe behaviour for somewhere that is supposed to have relatively good "security "? Security did nothing except excuse the behaviour and chastise the victim. Well disappointed from someone not from the area
What a gem of a place!! Absolutely buzzing atmosphere! Great staff, will be coming back ❤️
Not what it was. Now full of kids spilling their drinks all over the dance floor and taking the piss out of older people. Female bouncer couldn't give a shit. Not worth going anymore.
Located in Botchergate Carlisle the heart of the night-time economy. Fantastic music for those of the time, be prepared to dance and sing the night away. Limited opening Friday and Saturday nights only. A small seating area so arrive early if this is a requirement, be aware there is no cloakroom facilities. Good bar, busy as to be expected, friendly staff including security, busy dance floor with requests taken via pen & paper or QR code, shots are available on the dance floor by cash or card throughout the night. Toilet facilities are good, but as with most clubs the quality and availability of essentials diminish as the evening progresses into morning.
