The Bell Foundry in Loughborough

Ah, The Bell Foundry – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Loughborough, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, folks really appreciate the wallet-friendly drinks and that wide range of beers on tap, making it a go-to for a relaxed catch-up with mates. The staff sound like absolute stars, always on hand to make your visit smooth and enjoyable, and with live sport screening on big screens, plus games like pool and darts, there's loads to keep you entertained on a quiet evening. They've got fun events like weekly quizzes and bingo, which add a lovely community touch, especially if you're new to the area or a student looking for a break from the books. On the flip side, though, the outdoor space needs a bit of TLC – it's not quite as charming as the inside, which has a nice modern vibe. And if you're heading out on a Friday or Saturday, you might find the door staff a tad overzealous, but that's just how things go in town centres sometimes. Overall, it's a solid spot for a pint and a chat, with more positives than negatives, so I'd say it's worth popping in for a try – just keep an eye on those opening times to avoid any surprises!
