About This Pub
Ah, Hirst Progressive Social Club – it's one of those unpretentious spots in Ashington that just hits the spot for a laid-back evening. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff really shine; they're described as amazing and super friendly, which makes popping in for a pint feel like catching up with old mates. The prices are a winner too – nothing fancy, but that's the charm, keeping things accessible for everyone. It's brilliant for a game of pool or just having a laugh, and folks have noted how clean and welcoming it is, which always makes a difference after a long day. On the flip side, it's a shame they don't offer coffee or tea, so if you're not in the mood for a drink, you might feel a bit limited. Plus, during busier times like events, it can get a tad understaffed, leading to waits that might put a damper on things. All in all, with a solid 4.4 rating, it's a reliable choice for us pub goers looking for good value and a friendly buzz, but it's worth keeping expectations realistic for a straightforward social club experience.

came to play pool and have a laugh all accomplished
Great pub, amazing staff and very friendly place with great prices, highly recommended
Popped in for a quick drink with friends. Nice and clean.
It's a social club I've been better they don't do coffee or tea, we were for a funeral reception and travelled a lone way, plus there was only one staff to serve two sides.
The problem is less the technology, which is very impressive, than it is the uneven storyline, which zigzags from slapstick to poignance to action. The Alaskan and Canadian scenery is spectacular, the production design is exceptional, and Ford brings heart and dignity to his role, including the narration throughout the film. But the movie is uneven in tone and in its sense of its audience—it is too sad and violent for young children and too superficial for older audiences. The many-times-filmed story has here been sanitized a bit for modern audiences (less racism, for example), but it is rougher than the typical PG film, including animal abuse, and sad deaths of both canines and humans.
