Yellowjacket in Carlisle

Ah, Yellowjacket – it's one of those hidden gems in Carlisle that I've heard mates chatting about, and from what I've seen, it's got a lot going for it. With an impressive 4.7 rating, it's clear the cocktails steal the show; people absolutely love the classics like the Whiskey Sour, and the staff are just brilliant, going the extra mile to make sure you're happy – like offering a free shot if your drink isn't quite right. The atmosphere is dead cosy, ideal for a relaxed evening, and that friendly dog wandering about really warms things up. But, let's be honest, it's not perfect; the space is a bit tight with not much seating, so if you're in a larger group, you might struggle. Plus, the whisky options are a bit limited, which is a shame if that's your thing, and with it only open five days a week and varying hours, you'll need to check ahead. All in all, it's a cracking spot for a quality cocktail and a chat, but keep those points in mind for the full picture.
