The Sticklebarn Tavern - South Lakeland

Offers something very different to the New and Old Dungeon Ghyll Inns. Spacious and nicely appointed pub, food was very nice and plenty of drink choices. Highlight though was the live music, what a singer the manager is!

Google said it closes at 9pm, so I got there at 6 assuming the live music would therefore start around 7, it started at 9pm by which time I was ready to leave. Nachos were weird, basically a bowl of tortilla chips with some sauce that tasted like macaroni cheese and a couple of jalapeños. Staff were great, great beers, location and decor awesome.

Great pub this one , in a stunning setting , ideal place for a drink /meal after a long walk up the Langdale , or just a great place to chill out, relaxed atmosphere , friendly staff , good food , stopped at a cottage behind the pub for a long weekend , went in all 3 days ,food , service and atmosphere great every time . Keep up the good work guys, will definitely be making a trip here again when anywhere near the area .

We found the evening food very good, the staff are very friendly, and the music (either live or recorded) good. No sports bar here but there is wifi. We visited on two days after days on the hills and noticed others that we'd seen. Very popular on a Friday Saturday. We tried their rum whisky and found it very drinkable. A couple of bottles went home with us. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. We'll be back, even if we're staying at the hotel next door.

Highly recommend visiting.. we came for a hike to stickle tarn and came across this place . The staff are amazing. Very friendly and helpful . The food is incredible . We had a return visit this weekend. we decided to drive an hour across the lake District just to visit again and they didn't disappoint . Will be visiting again when we are next in the lake District
