Great pub , we went during the day and it was a little quiet and didn’t have food just drinks . Very good selection of drinks but could have done with some alcohol free beers for the driver ! Would like to visit again but in the evening . We will be back to this lovely bar

I have always enjoyed this pub, but last night we encountered an unexpected situation. My dad was asked to remove his cap by the bouncer, which was surprising since he had worn it inside before we went out for dinner, and there were others seated with their caps on. This inconsistency felt a bit discriminatory, and it left us puzzled about the bouncer's reasoning. After all, it's a casual bar in Berwick-upon-Tweed, not the Balmoral. I hope this can be addressed, as the pub has great potential!

The bar staff doesn’t hear your orders correct give you the wrong drink make you pay for it and in the end they banned you to come in saying you are drunk and rude the securities is one small guy that is extremely rude and don’t even was willing to call them boss or even the owner because i wanted my money back as i paid for a drink that I didn’t order and I need to be looking for him myself so from me is a very bad fedback the responsable person gave my money back after I insisted a lot because for him I needed to go back the day after and resold the problem anyway I’ve been there before and everytime i go back is worse there and plus there the customer doesn’t have voice only the staff so no good review from me and the group that was with me as suppose to be a goid Christmas night and that bartender just ruined so i gave 1 star because is not a option for 0 star

Nice atmosphere and some staff members are lovely. Really funny with ID so if you look younger than 25 be prepared for a rather stringent challenge. Draught selection is okay but nothing to go mad about. A really nice pub but let’s itself down in some aspect unfortunately.

Stopped in for a night cP before heading back to the hotel and ordered 2 old fashions and instead were given dark and stormies. I noted to the bartender that old fashions are mDe with bourbon and not rum and was told that's how we make em here. After we just had a perfect one across the street at Foxtons and that bartender Googled it. Felt like we got tourist treatment. And we're charged way too much $$$. Very bad experience 🥺

Good service, comfortable seating. Staff slightly oddly were focusing on a bloke sleeping or at least closing his eyes..... spoke to him said they 'do it all the time ' Was buying pints like the rest of us... definitely saw staff speak to him for a spell...so unable to fully verify.....odd all the same. Everyone welcome?

This place was a godsend on a blistering hot day last week when we visited Berwick-upon-Tweed. The partially covered outside area was just perfect. My wife sat on sunny side of the table while I got the shade, so both of us were happy. The Cider was cold and refreshing. The toilets were clean and easily accessible. Met some real nice people and struck up a conversation. Spent a pleasant hour out of the sun and crowded streets.

Lovely pub with independent character. Although I'm a bit old for it I believe this is the place to be on a Saturday night with a resident DJ in place. During the week it's a much more chilled out vibe, good range of drinks, fairly priced and the home made pizza we had was lovely.

If you have been working all day long and want a meal to be delivered to your door you have no chance. As delivery driver sits in his car and rings you to come out .
