Smashing pub with a great juke box and the beer was fantastic. If you are in town make sure you call in the landlord will make you feel very welcome. Its small and cosy with the fire glowing away and the real ales are excellent.

Well, I've finally found the best pub in the world - The Tanners Arms in Alnwick. Wow, what a place! Nowadays I avoid pubs like the plague, but this was something else. Just off the main road, it's a one room 'proper' pub (as opposed to one of those dreadful corporate bars which seem to be ubiquitous in every town... More

Great people to chat to - brother of the landlord and a younger man the day after. Locals were very chatty and recommended everything that we had decided to do and it turned... More

Quet, single roomed historic pub just away from the main tourist route, but well worth the 100 yard walk up Hotspur Street. Very knowledgable, and keen, landlord/proprietor serving 4 loccal ales on handpump. Deserves to do well - give it a ry if proper beer is what you are looking for. Its the only decent beer we found in Alnwick.... More

The place is now clean and inviting with a lovely welcoming woodburning stove. The open mic music sessions (last Friday of every month) are great fun and always popular. Here's wishing Ben... More

This is a proper pub in every sense of the word. The night we visited there were people spilling out onto the street, a fantastic range of beers and spirits, great live music, baked goods being given out by the owner and friendly regulars, all of which combined to create a wonderful atmosphere. It was clear to see why the... More
