The Squirrel in Stevenage

Ah, The Squirrel – it's one of those neighbourhood gems that really captures the heart of a traditional pub, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews, folks absolutely love the welcoming staff who are always ready for a laugh and a bit of banter, making every visit feel like catching up with mates. The atmosphere is spot on for a relaxed pint or a casual get-together, and with those inexpensive prices, it's easy on the wallet too. It's especially nice to hear about the community spirit, whether it's for a birthday bash or just popping in for a chat. On the flip side, though, a few people mentioned the furniture looking a bit run-down, which gives it that old-school charm but might not sit well if you're after something more modern. And it can be quiet during off-peak hours, so if you're in the mood for a buzzing night, you might want to time your visit right. Overall, it's a solid choice for a laid-back evening, as long as you go in with the right expectations – I'd say it's worth a try if you're in Stevenage and fancy a no-fuss spot with plenty of heart.
