The Farmers Arms in Barrow in Furness

Ah, The Farmers Arms – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local spot, you know? From the reviews, most folks are raving about the friendly staff and the landlady who gets stuck in with everyone, creating that real community feel. The live music on Saturdays and quiz nights sound like a blast, perfect for a laugh with your mates over a pint. It's kept nice and clean too, with a traditional decor that harks back to the good old days, and there's even some outside seating for when the weather plays ball. On the flip side, there was that one off review where the service fell flat – a bar tender who seemed more bothered with their phone than pulling a proper pint, and apparently, the Moretti didn't quite hit the mark. It's more geared towards adults, which makes sense for a quiet evening, but no food on site means you might need to plan ahead if you're peckish. All in all, with a strong 4.4 rating from the crowd, it's worth popping in for the atmosphere, just go in with an open mind and you'll likely have a top night.
