The Fat Badger in Bridlington

Ah, The Fat Badger – it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot for a relaxed pint without all the fuss. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this great lineup of beers, like a decent Guinness or John Smith's at fair prices, and even some real ales that beer enthusiasts would appreciate. The staff sound like absolute gems, always ready with a smile and a warm welcome, which really makes the place feel inviting. Plus, it's spot on if you're with your dog or just want to catch up with mates over a game of pool or the footy on TV – and that open fire adds a nice touch on a chilly day. On the flip side, it's not without its quirks; the decor's a bit on the plain side, almost like it's trying to be traditional but ends up feeling a tad bare and underwhelming. Some have mentioned it's just one big room, which might not give that cosy, tucked-away vibe you're after in a classic pub. Still, with its convenient spot near the train station, it's a reliable choice for a straightforward night out. Overall, I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in Bridlington – it's got that easy-going charm, even if it doesn't knock your socks off.
