Museum Inn Carlisle in Carlisle

Just visited tonight parmo was excellent and other family members enjoyed their meals superb pub service was also excellent 👌🏼

Didn't have food,alcohol selection poor. Menu restricted Will not rush back here. Beer garden ok. Needs garden tidying.

Welcoming and warm environment. Family friendly and lovely home cooked food. Dogs are welcome which is lovely. The staff are chatty and friendly. There is a pool room and darts and TVs throughout the pub. The outdoor seating area is nice

Stopped of passing this old fashioned Inn this afternoon .Quite surprised by the modern entertainment inside right up my street. Great choice of beverages. Staff where great in giving us samples of ales.Had some food which was all home cooked top marks .Defo call on again very hospitable and welcoming.highly recommended 👌👍 😀 😉

Definitely recommend great pub staff are lovely foods excellent 👌

Large pub was quiet when we arrived Sat afternoon but we got a very warm welcome from staff and then customers arrived who were also friendly. Overall a good experience and not bad prices either!

Went early new year 2024, seemed an effort for the man (landlord or just bar staff?) to smile although the lady was much more friendly.

Bit of a wait for food to be served .

Popped in by chance good beer at a fair price and a very warm welcome

I've had better.....not sure if I'd go back!! Had a chicken burger....tiny bit of chicken on the roll...think we got the chips left at the bottom of the bag...not worth talking about. Best thing on the plate was onion rings. Non memorable experience.

Great night and great staff and entertainment we will be back.

Great food friendly staff. Nice tidy pub spacious. Car park and out door seating.

The staff is exeptional. I forgot my wallet at the table. They went out of their way and informed me even via Facebook that i left my wallet. I was so greatful because i travelled back to Germany the next day. THANKS A LOT.

Lovely food, staff. Toilets clean and smelled lovely 😍 Will be back 👍👍

Private function.. but made very welcome in the rest of the bar. Great staff. Good food. Lots of space to watch others dance & enjoy party games. Thank you to the staff.

Fantastic place a great atmosphere bar staff very good infact brilliant hope to go back soon

Great service, good food, pleasant atmosphere.

Unbelievably bad mannered owner came rushing over to us as soon as we walked in the door and told us we had to leave as there were no tables left. Absolutely no need to behave in that way, very poor customer service. Thanks, won't be back....

Arrived on Wednesday at 12.00 the website said it was open but wasn't, so we went to the Turf. A wee treat needed to the website.

Just played darts bar staff ok beer not to good

Not welcoming. Hardly any customers. Last orders at 9.50 pm. Not a pleasant environment to enjoy a beer in.

Great staff Ample parking Great music Amazing customer service,

Very noisy, television sound was far too loud to have a conversation.

Visting friends in Carlisle we came here for sunday lunch and the food is worth the visit alone . Very Friendly staff just ashame the place was near empty certainly worthgoing if your looking for nice food

Food quite good but the pub is in need of brightening up.

Excellent, nice place to have a drink with friends

I just live round the corner & not saying that I'm a regular but have been going to that pub for many years. The staff are lovely but the current Landlady comes across as very lazy, rude & borderline agressive. I won't be putting another penny over that bar while she is still there!

The food is cheap by today's standards - but also completely average by today's standards. Female owner is temperamental and occasionally volatile. Won't be back to walk on eggshells.

A tasty Sunday lunch enjoyed in a clean environment. The staff were friendly, courteous and efficient. An impressive first visit, I'll be happy to repeat 🙂

Great pub, nice staff and lovely food. Quiz night is brilliant

An old favourite of mine, great pub, great atmosphere.

Realy good home made food. Not overpriced clean friendly atmosphere Always made welcome the staff and manageress are very friendly and welcoming to none regulars.

Discrimination against disabled children the owner scream shouted and pointed in my 7 yr old autistic brothers face for walking around said it upset her dog which was upstairs then blamed parents for not telling him off then carried on to have ago at his 10 yr sister before parent involved AVOIDE

If ur wanting escape the world n want to be somewere else this is ur place x

Staff very friendly and the food is great better cheese burger then McDonald's. Thanks courier driver from Nottingham

Expensive and old fashioned. But a good menu.

Wonderful "old school' pub. Amazing food, friendly staff, excellent prices. Will be our secret hideaway when family come up to stay. This place is for me and the wife only 😁 Highly recommend to everyone.

Love this pub. Management and staff are so upbeat and welcoming. The food and drink is great and the price is right.

Lovely traditional pub, with a very friendly landlady.

Went out for a random Sunday lunch. There was plenty of out door seating area covered and open for the sun. Food was excellent and the staff were super friendly. Reasonably priced food and drink too. Definitely worth a visit.

First pint since lockdown,luvly jubberley

Great place for a tipple after work Julie and staff fantastic!!

Friendly staff. good food and drink

Good food class service even better draft

Good service and friendly We popped in last week for dinner and was accommodated brilliantly food was good and the wait was short brilliant as we had little ones with us will definitely go again

Foods good especially the burgers

Loverly pub, with great staff Nice place for a pint or two or more...

Quiz night on a Tuesday. Good local pub.

Lovely place friendly staff excellent food. :)

Updated 6 Feb 2020. Haven't been in for a few months and thought we'd give it another go. Still as terrible as I remember. Weren't served in 20 mins so just left.

Fast service and lovely food... Home made chips... Yum yum

New staff , good food ,friendly atmosphere, good selection of beers , will frequent more often now it is being run properly

As a person who has been in the premises on a previous visit, I have to say that I cannot say anything good about the premises but I have to say that I cannot say anything bad about the premises, so I am open minded on the premises at this moment in time.

Staff friendly, homemade chips were lovely.

The food was lovely reasonably priced nice friendly staff what more could you want

New managers settling in very well, home cooked food very good

Nice improved menu ,good choice and value Really enjoyed it

Will be back here, only down side was the food took a long while to come but it was a busy weekend. Nice pub food.

*under new management* New management in from July-ish and the immediate improvement is obvious. Its been cleaned and has a new menu (could do with better quality menu's though), the food is 'proper', as in, it's home made and home cooked bar food, just what you would expect. There's also a small selection of specials. Really great to see the local being brought back to standard.

Had a nice pub lunch here. Food was good

Not bad. Would be better if the TVs showed sport (I believe they used to but last few visits they haven’t)

Good Sunday lunch others may want to try this and not just give bad comments

Nicely presented inside. Good parking.

Bit disappointed last time we were in. Menu not as good & prices had gone up. Also it was very cold, not as cozy sitting there eating. Staff were helpful & very pleasant though. But won't be the first place we think of eating out.

Just had a lovely curry with my wife and daughter the staff were really nice compliments to the chef

What a shame, my local pub that I have not visited for a while, has gone right down the pan! As I went to the bar I was greeted with "wot are use avin" when I ordered a cappuccino for my daughter the barmaid disappeared the kitchen to make a message then explained the coffee machine wasn't working, we paid the price for a cappachino. The manager was helping himself to a pint and crisps and wasn,t the slightest bit interested. Sunday afternoon and the pub was empty, no atmosphere and poor service we had just come from a drive in the country and paid 80 pounds for a gorgeous meal at Castle Carrock, thank God we didn't chose the museum, it looks like the pub will go to the wall like so many others, shame the brewery don't seem to care.

2 of our meals we couldn't eat, they were disgusting, when asked if we could have a refund, the manager said they've never had a complaint before, and they had served the food already so wont refund it even though we didn't eat it. Gave us 3 plates of nachos after charging us for 4 but only told us AFTER we complained it was because they ran put and could swap it for a different starter. Disgusting food, disgusting service, can not rate them low enough, next time we'll just get a takeaway since that would be cheaper too

Disappointing. No card machine, no food available and poor quality of beer. Advertising football and on this occasion no sound on the only tv working. Another screen not working and another unable to change channel. Not ideal at 5.30 on a Saturday.

Been to my nieces birthday party and the museum pub had a warm atmosphere, great buffet and reasonable drink prices. Highly recommended.

Quite mediocre. Not busy but staff seemed to forget our drinks order. Food ok but no steak knives. No one bothered to ask if everything was ok with the meal. No staff around when we left. Won't be rushing back.

Great pub, visited on a Sunday afternoon about 5pm. Sold out of Sunday dinners, which must prove how good they are. However bar menu still available and I had an amazing gammon and chips and my girlfriend a lovely fish and chips. Very friendly bar staff, well kept draft beer (Greene King and Ruddles on tap when I visited). Lovely sun trap beer garden. Recommended!

Lovely friendly pub and a lovely place to eat.

Basic but good food, pleasant staff.

Food not good better last time must-have New owner's

Great food and staff beer garden a nice bonus

A bit pricey for drinks....even soda!

Family orientated pub outside seating and spacious inside...Cider draught poor only Strongbow or Dark Fruit on offer.

Just had a lovely meal and a nice friendly service.

Ok bar, clean with a good selection of ales and spirits

After a rocky start; the new owners are getting rather good. Friendly atmosphere, good staff. Menu rather limited to previously but Sunday lunch was great

Went here for mothers day today 3rd time we've been lately and every time has been lovely, delicious hot food, excellent friendly service every time, nice warm atmosphere, will definetly be going back.

The band was great. Would be good to have regular music

Great atmosphere always friendly

Went today for Valentine's day and birthday and was the worst experience in our lifetime.never been placed in a more awkward situation as today is the most romantic day of the year,yet was let to be seated right in the middle of a wake just before there morners.had arrived.the food was also not up to anywhere near even pub grub standards 😠😡😠

First visit since new owners took over in Jan 2018. Good variety of food on offer and friendly welcome.

Amazing food.good atmosphere staff and manager very friendly

Friendly welcome. Couldn't be more helpful accommodating Gluten Free meal without warning. All four meals really enjoyed. Thank you.

Food isn't as good as it used to be

I haven't been in the museum for a long time very pleased with the service had a lovely meal and the price was very good to would recommend this and will be coming again the staff were very pleasant .

Just popped in for a paint after a Stress shop at Asda was a nice worm feel and friendly Staff

Friendly .. chatty family pub .. good food Wide selection of drinks.. kids meals available Selection of different food dishes Two meals £12 everyday from 12-8 pm

Nice place good food well priced pleasant staff will be back to sample more from the menu would recommend you give it a try thanks (GB)

Because it's better than the Reiver!

Sorry but this place has gone pretty bad for food over the last year. Fried everything BUT overcooked! Fish dry and hard. Uninspiring meals from frozen Sad really as could have a large catchment area

Great!!! I've been coming to this pub for years as it's my local and I will say the food has never been better!! Give it another go if you've been in the past.

Good value basic pub food and nice staff

Good value for money. Decent food

Friendly staff quick service tasty food.

UPDATE JANUARY 2017: not sure what's happened here, but there seems to have been a big staff turnover, and the food's dropped in standard a bit. It's not brilliant, and serves a purpose, but something doesn't currently sit right... staff are pretty good still, but the changeover has resulted in it losing that familiar "Cheers" feel, where the staff know you and know what you want. Reduction in my star rating from 5 to 3, and would be happy to discuss my concerns. ORIGINAL REVIEW: What's not to like? Decent beer, decent prices, decent food... Great family pub. Update 3rd October 2016: recently been refurbished top to bottom. Decor really well done, and bar area now fully separated from the main lounge and seating/eating area. Food still does the job, and even though it was really busy, service and time-to-table was excellent. A great update to a good, solid, reliable pub, and you can't really go wrong in here.

Had my 40th meal here adults enjoyed it and so did the kids
