House of Vodka in Carlisle

So, I was having a look at House of Vodka the other day, and it's got this lovely vibe going for it, especially with the door staff who seem like absolute gems – people are going on about how helpful and personable they are, like Joe and Mr. Nordic, who apparently make the place feel welcoming and fun. It's those little touches that really lift a pub visit, isn't it? On the upside, the service sounds top-notch, with stories of staff lending a hand when needed, which is just what you want after a long day. But, fair's fair, it's not all roses; the place is only open twice a week, which might throw a spanner in the works if you're planning a cheeky pint on a whim. And from one review, there was a bit of a row over entry fees and some attitude, so it could be hit or miss depending on the night. All in all, if you're in Carlisle and fancy a relaxed spot with great service, it's worth popping in, but I'd say check the schedule first and keep expectations balanced – it's got heart, but room for improvement too.
