The pub is found in Carlisle, Cumbria, CA3 8RF.

Traditional, multi-area pub in Fisher Street with small beer garden. Juke-box and bandits but easy to find a quieter corner. Very much a cask ale drinkers' pub with enterprising guests.

We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 8 different beers and tried 4 of them.
