About This Pub

So, chatting about The Harrow, it's clear from the buzz around it that this pub in Ilkeston really knows how to deliver a good time. Everyone's raving about the fantastic atmosphere, with live music pumping every night and even a pool table to keep things entertaining – it's just the sort of place you'd pop into for a laugh and end up staying longer than planned. The staff come across as genuinely welcoming and on top of their game, which makes all the difference when you're settling in for a pint. Prices are spot on for a budget-friendly evening, and it's sparkling clean after its refurb, which is always a plus. On the flip side, I did notice the website's a bit of a mess, so you might struggle to get the lowdown online before heading over. Oh, and that tip about bringing cash for the pool table means it's worth double-checking if cards are accepted, to avoid any awkward moments. All in all, it's a solid choice for a great night, but like any spot, it's good to go in prepared – I'd say give it a try if you're in the area, as the positives far outweigh the niggles.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially with live music every night that keeps things lively and fun.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got a great refurbishment, looking fresh and clean, which is a nice touch for a traditional pub.
  • There's a pool table for some added entertainment, and it's all at inexpensive prices, so it's easy on the wallet.
  • From the reviews, it sounds like a fantastic spot for events like music festivals, with plenty of good vibes all around.
Cons
  • The website seems to have some issues, as I couldn't access much content, which might make it tricky to check details beforehand.
  • One mention of needing cash for the pool table suggests it might be a cash-only place, so you could end up needing to plan ahead for that.
  • With the operating status listed as closed, there might be occasional confusion about when it's actually open, even though the schedule says it's up and running most evenings.

A fantastic night, great service, an excellent mix of music from old school to current Playlist, and also very clean considering how pubs and clubs can get on a weekend night. Definitely returning.
