About This Pub
Ah, the Victoria in Barrow-in-Furness – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food really steals the show; folks are raving about the comforting classics like fish and chips or a juicy burger, all served up with that homely touch you'd expect from a historic spot. The atmosphere is spot on too – warm and welcoming, with live sports on the screens and a family-friendly setup that includes things like a beer garden and being dog-friendly, so it's great for a casual meet-up or even bringing the kids along. Prices are fair, with daily deals that make it easy on the wallet, and the staff seem to go the extra mile to make you feel at home. But, let's be straight, it's not perfect; the overall rating hints at some inconsistency, maybe with service on busier nights or the food not always hitting the mark, and if you're out late, you might miss out on grub since they stop serving early. Still, for a solid, affordable pint and a bite in a lively setting, it's worth a visit – I'd say give it a go and see for yourself, especially if you're nearby and fancy a bit of that Greene King charm.

New to the area so first visit to this pub. Have visited many Greene kings across the county and was really impressed by the service here. Was a bit dubious due to some reviews but seems to be on the up from what I’ve read. The lady Courtney behind the bar seemed lovely and very knowledgeable. Will definitely be back and recommending😁
