Woburn Arms in Newtownards

Ah, Woburn Arms – it's one of those unassuming pubs that you stumble upon and end up having a brilliant time. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got that warm, welcoming Northern Irish charm, with staff like Chloe who go out of their way to make you feel like a regular, even if you're just passing through on a trip. The drinks are spot on, and there's always the option for a game of pool or darts to liven things up, which is just what you want on a laid-back night out. It's got a solid 4.4 rating, mostly from folks raving about the great craic and the honest, down-to-earth locals. On the flip side, it seems they don't always have food on offer, so if you're hoping for a full meal, you might need to plan ahead or head elsewhere. Plus, without a website, it's a bit of a hidden gem that you might miss if you're not in the area already. All in all, if you're looking for a genuine pub experience with friendly faces and no pretences, I'd say give it a go – it's got that feel-good factor that makes you want to come back for another round.
