Charnwood Brewery is a charming family-run gem in Loughborough, serving up top-notch local beers with friendly service that'll make any beer enthusiast smile.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beers are absolutely cracking – their award-winning cask, keg, and bottled options are full of flavour and perfect for a proper pint lover.
  • The staff are so welcoming and knowledgeable; they'll chat with you about your favourites and explain everything in detail, making you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours seem a bit limited, mostly just on Sundays from 10am to 3pm, which might make it tricky to pop in if you're planning a spontaneous visit.
  • It's more of a brewery shop than a full-on pub, so you might not get that cosy seating area for lingering over a few drinks like you would in a traditional boozer.

Baobab Cafe is a lovely little gem in Loughborough, serving up fantastic coffee and inclusive food that really caters to everyone, with a warm and friendly feel that's hard to beat.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The coffee here is simply outstanding – it's award-winning and made with top-quality beans from around the world, perfect for a proper brew.
  • They've got a brilliant selection of fresh, made-to-order food that's especially great for those with dietary needs, like vegan and gluten-free options, all prepared with care to avoid cross-contamination.
Areas for Improvement

The White Hart is a lovely traditional British pub in the heart of Loughborough, where you'll find cracking food, top-notch ales, and a friendly vibe that makes it feel like a proper local gem.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • They've got a fantastic selection of real cask ales from national, regional, and micro brewers, perfect for anyone who loves a good pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices are on the moderate side, so it might feel a bit steep if you're just popping in for a quick drink and want to keep things budget-friendly.
  • It can get quite busy, especially on evenings with live music or during peak times, which might mean a wait for a table or a spot at the bar.

Areas for Improvement
  • There was that one off experience where the food tasted like it came straight from the microwave, which was a bit disappointing and put someone off returning.
  • Drinks can feel a tad pricey – like paying over £14 for three, including a simple Coke – so it might catch you out if you're on a budget.

88/100
Jam Garden in Loughborough is a cracking little pub with a welcoming vibe, delicious pizzas, and a fabulous beer garden that's ideal for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • That beer garden is a real gem – plenty of space to relax with a drink and some food, perfect for soaking up the sun on a summer day.
Areas for Improvement

  • It can get quite busy, especially during events or on sunny weekends, which might mean you'll need to book ahead to snag a table.

The Kelso is a lively bar in Loughborough with fun interactive games and affordable drinks, ideal for a relaxed social evening, though it's winding down soon.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The interactive games like darts, shuffleboard, and pool are an absolute riot, perfect for a laugh with your mates and making any night out memorable.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced with a great selection of craft beers, cocktails, wines, and spirits, so you can relax and enjoy without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • The venue is closing its doors soon, which is a real shame as it's directing everyone next door to The Jam Garden, so you might miss out if you don't hurry.
  • Some areas, like the toilets, could use a bit of sprucing up, as a few have mentioned they're not quite up to scratch.

  • A lively and welcoming atmosphere with great music and karaoke that keeps things fun and upbeat – it's easy to see why folks pop in regularly.
Areas for Improvement
  • The outside can look a bit off-putting and unwelcoming, which might put some off before they even step inside.
  • The crowd isn't always to everyone's taste, with a few comments about it feeling a tad rowdy or not quite refined.

  • A few folks have mentioned that the food quality can be inconsistent, with things like pizzas coming out burnt or feeling like they've been straight from the freezer.

Areas for Improvement

  • Without a website, it's a bit tricky to check menus or hours online, so you might need to pop in or call ahead.

80/100
The Bell Foundry in Loughborough is a cracking little community pub with affordable drinks, friendly faces, and plenty of entertainment, though it has a few rough edges outside.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Bell Foundry has a fantastic selection of beers and drinks, with some great offers that make it easy on the wallet – perfect for a casual night out.
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and welcoming, always ready with a smile and top-notch service that makes you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • The outside area could do with a bit of a spruce-up; it's not as inviting as the inside, which might put you off if you're looking for al fresco drinking.
  • On weekend nights, things can get a tad tricky with the door staff, as they might be a bit strict, though that's more about the area than the pub itself.

The Amber Rooms is a welcoming Wetherspoon in Loughborough that's all about great value and a lively atmosphere, though it's worth double-checking those deals to avoid any surprises.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a cracking spot for budget-friendly meals and drinks – you get a lot for your money, like that delicious fish and chips for just over a tenner.
  • The service is spot on, especially with the app; orders come through lightning fast, even when the place is buzzing.
Areas for Improvement
  • Sometimes there are hiccups with discounts, like not getting the lunchtime deal even when you've paid, which can leave you a bit miffed.
  • It can get absolutely packed, especially on busy nights or events, making it feel a tad overwhelming if you're after a quiet pint.

77/100
The Loughborough Arms is a straightforward local pub with cheap drinks and occasional entertainment, but it's got its fair share of rough edges that might not suit everyone.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The drinks are decent and really affordable, making it a great spot for a budget-friendly pint with mates.
  • There's a friendly vibe from some of the regulars, and the karaoke on Saturday nights sounds like a fun way to let loose.
Areas for Improvement
  • A few folks have mentioned the landlady coming across as quite rude, which can put a damper on things right from the start.
  • There have been some uncomfortable run-ins with locals, like being told where to stand, which might make you feel unwelcome.

4.0(19 reviews)
77/100
The Bharat Club is a cosy little Indian-themed pub in Loughborough that's full of character, with friendly vibes and fun games, but it can have its off moments with access and reliability.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is really welcoming and friendly, making it a great spot for a relaxed evening with mates.
  • They've got some lovely Indian cuisine on offer, like pakoras and maggie noodles, which adds a unique twist to the usual pub grub.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few reports of being turned away at the door, even when it looks like things are happening inside, which can be a bit frustrating.
  • The place seems a tad unreliable with its opening times, as there's no clear schedule available, so you might turn up and find it shut.

We were refused entry to this place just to play some pool, claiming it’s “closed” with people visible at the window drinking. They then closed the curtains to the window.

The Old English Gentleman is a charming little local pub with affordable drinks and games to enjoy, but it has its rougher moments that keep things interesting.
Pros and Cons

  • It's got that classic, welcoming old English pub vibe that makes you feel right at home.
  • Free pool and darts tables add a fun touch for a casual game with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit rowdy at times with some folks overindulging, which might spoil the mood.
  • Only accepts cash, so you'll need to remember your wallet and avoid the hassle of finding an ATM.
