Schooners sports bar in Cleethorpes

Ah, Schooners – it's one of those cosy spots down by the Cleethorpes seafront that really hits the mark for a relaxed pint or a catch-up with mates. From what I've gathered from the buzz around, the staff are absolute gems, always going the extra mile to make you feel welcome, and it's just the ticket if you're into sports with all those screens showing the action. Throw in being dog-friendly and some cracking food and cocktails at fair prices, plus little extras like discount cards and free pool days, and you've got a place that fosters a proper community feel. On the flip side, it's a shame about the confusion with the non-smoking rules – those ashtrays on the tables might leave you scratching your head – and that step up to the beer garden has tripped more than a few, so you'd want to tread carefully. The men's toilet setup isn't ideal either, with the hand dryer in a bit of an odd spot. All in all, with its strong reputation, it's a solid choice for a night out, but keeping an eye on those niggles will make for a smoother visit.
