The Brown Bear in Northumberland

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!

Lovely place, friendly staff, good choice of beers.

Great staff and good service, gets busy on weekends

Great pub bags of atmosphere was there Saturday night. Very popular. Prices reasonable. Great crowd in all just having a good night. In again sunday afternoon bit quiet but still good atmosphere. Bar staff very efficient. Well worth a visit.

No food which was a surprise. And no facilities for baby changing. Nice though!

Later night bar that's physically 'jumping' later night friday and Saturday, much calmer sundays. Friendly service, it does what it does all good

A nice friendly place to AV a drink in the afternoon

Wasn't very busy on a Sunday night...so not much atmosphere. Okay pub for a drink.

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

Lovely pub nice relaxing atmosphere 😁

Very friendly bar. Good size. Large external area with some heaters and covering. Dog friendly too.

Excellent service and quality beers, dj was excellent superb all around experience ty.

Friendly staff a d nice atmospher,

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.

Cracking pub. Great beer garden with plenty of room.

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 🥺

Friendly staff, lots of drinks to pick from .

Friendly staff, quiet at 20:00hrs on a Sunday… nice pint!

Nice pint in a lovely pub xx love it xxx

Lovely lady behind the bar very chatty.

Absolutely amazing pub, good lovely staff

Saturday afternoon stop for a couple of beers and rest from exploring Berwick. Great atmosphere, a good choice of drinks and the rugby live.

From the minute we stepped in the door the service was brilliant. The staff were very friendly & helpful. Very clean & a cosy atmosphere. Karaoke was great fun & cherie made the whole experience amazing. Highly recommend a visit.

Lovely staff .Had ran out of on tap cocktails.Candles on tables lovely.

Wonderful atmosphere great array of drinks and dog friendly would recommend

Lovely atmosphere quiet and nice friendly staff and locals

Nice atmosphere, nice pint one of the cheapest bars in Berwick.

Great atmosphere good pub. Pleasant staff and varied music to suit all ages. Great for sitting outside.

Lovely pub with Manager Damien being welcoming and making fantastic cocktails.

Had a fabulous afternoon in the brown bear, made even better by meeting Cherie! What a fabulous host, she made us so welcome 🤦‍♀️🥂👍

The best cider in Berwick and a fab disco on Saturday night. Love this diverse and interesting place!

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?

Great Atmosphere, Great Service ,Good Drinks Selection and Reasonably Priced 👍

Nice pleasant atmosphere, friendly welcome 👌

Nice pub. Good good. Good value. Nice staff

Great atmosphere, lovely people!

If ever you go to Berwick be sure yo visit this great pub

Average pub, no draught bitter but Halloween costumes good.

Friendly atmosphere, and dog friendly! Came for food as looked good on previous reviews but they don’t serve food anymore. Good for drinks.

This is a lovely old pub. The staff are most welcoming and friendly

Popped in for a refreshment and wow what a great vibe the Brown bear had will definitely need to pay it another visit in the future.

A traditional, friendly pub with great staff, lots of space. Popular with the young over the weekend..

Nice pub with lots of space in the beer garden outside

The best place to go in Berwick Damian is absolutely fantastic and made the weekend away so much more fun his banter is absolutely brilliant will miss him loads wanted to take him home

Absolutely loved the place,staff are all great and drinks flowed very nicely.Definatley recommended this bar,you will not be disappointed. 👏👏👏

Nice friendly boozer with good selection of beverages. Staff super efficient and welcoming 👍👍👍

Barman really chatty and pleasant

Overpriced. Overrated and the door staff take liberties. You only need to look on tiktok to see how heavy handed the door staff were with the poor lads who were accused of spiking someone's drink when they were eating tictacs. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

What a great time we had staff were very friendly and looked after us five stars.

Good to be out and be busy again!!!

Staff were really friendly and made my disabled daughter myself and husband really welcome

Great pub, reasonable prices with good atmosphere

Nice bar with inside and outside areas, tvs for live sport. Could probably do with one or 2 more craft beers/ real ale

Had a few drinks on a rainy Friday. Bar wad quiet but staff were welcoming and chatty.

Lovely pub with friendly staff.

The best pub in Berwick! Love Saturday nights here, cheap drinks and good music 🎊

I would like to know what happened to the so called real ales??, well disappointed

Amazing atmosphere great deals on drinks.

Friendly staff, nice selection of lagers and a very nice experience on a Sunday lunchtime

Nice pub very friendly beer good pop in and have a pint.

From the outside it doesn't look much but once Inside great Pub,friendly Staff and a fantastic atmosphere, Security Guard made us very welcome and relaxed great night ! Will come again fir sure !

OMG. Was here about 4 years ago. It was great really cheap and so much fun. Went in today and had 2 vodkas and coke. £11.20.😡😡😡😡. How can they justify that. Shocking.

This became our local during our week in Berwick-upon-Tweed. Good choice of beers, friendly atmosphere, and lovely staff. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely terrible, more than double the price of any other bar in Berwick...and the loud, piped music is intolerable...

Nice pub, friendly staff. Got fairly busy as evening went on. (A lot of family groups ) All in all, a good pub with a nice atmosphere but prices were slightly higher in this part of town.

Dog friendly and excellent staff 5 stars from us

Cracking place with great friendly staff highly recommend

Good music with a comfortable atmosphere

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Just trying to pick up again. Very friendly staff and a decent pint.

Quiet when I was there and little atmosphere but it was late afternoon

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.

Expensive - London prices in a pub in Berwick - ridiculous

Very cold no atmosphere, not much drinks choice

Still had to sit outside but girl who served us was nice and 😊

Made to feel very welcome in these trying times

The staff are so friendly, and there well organised with the track and trace

Busy, friendly, limited ale choice, helpful staff.

As always, the Bear has great beer, and great service..even in these trying times

Friendly nice staff. Place needs a good refurb

Good pub with a good selection of gins and table service due to Covid. Very helpful staff

Fabulous staff.The manager Martin 1st class

Good Covid-19 measures in place. One way system adhered to. Take service was quick.

Nice pint of Guinness canny barman called Martin, and impressed with the gents toilet a ginormous improvement from the 80s 🤣🤣 100% spot on

Good beer nice bar friendly staff highly recommended

Friendly staff nice beer. Table orders in place to avoid covid-19 issues with bar service. No food at the moment though.

Best beer in berwick, full stop. Decor bit dated though

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.

Great little dog friendly pub.. Beware of the bear on the wall!!!

Music not bad, drinks reasonable too.

Not bad food is ok service ok generally just ok

Nice wee place for young and old

Tipical English pub but its a bit Scottish like too.

Nice pub but no real ale on the bar

Typical town centre pub offering good selection of gins and whisky. Pizza also available. Staff & clientele friendly.

Friendly staff and delicious food.

Great pub. Very friendly and the pizza's are the best
