Huddersfield Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I've been in most of them in the town one time or another The Barrels is a good spot for real ale & down by the river is in a oldish looking part of town. There's one on the main street has Sky...think from memory it was the Brewers Arms but it's around there anyway. The Castle Hotel at the top of town has Sky as well & does food, but is a bit bland & soulless. There's a place called the Angel across the river that has various Berwick memorabilia, but it's barely worth the effort unless you want to get out of town. Edit to say I meant Berwick Rangers memorabilia Edited January 30, 2015 by Huddersfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyshaker Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 We went in and out of a few before we found one with Sky on our way down from the train station. Finally found one that you had to go across a courtyard into some old stables or such like to the toilets! No idea what it was called, Bear might've been in the name though? Went to a match at Shieldfield and had a couple in a pub near there after the game. None of that is probably any help to you at all though! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Och Aye Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 The Brown Bear and The Brewers Arms are good boozers. There is a wetherspoons called The Leaping Salmon. For good food taxi over the bridge to East Ord to The Salmon or Ord House Country Park (opens 14th Feb for the season). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Barrels is cracking wee bar, if you want football Brewers Arms (locally known as the Battery) probably best to go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie27 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Taxi to Eyemouth.Ship,tavern,fleet dolphin all show the fitba and do food. You also don't have to listen to that.schitey Berwick accent and you aren't contributing to marsh economy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Another vote for the Barrels - cracking boozer. That's about it for Berwick though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy37 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I live in the town and some of the stuff written so far is utter tom kite. Barrels is however a great Boozer. Curfew Bar which is a brand new place is a 30 second walk along from Barrels and is the best by a long way but is the size of your front room. Foxtons up and around the corner from these two (2 min walk) is decent. Great place to have lunch and beer is decent too. Pilot Inn along from the train station is a great wee boozer. Free Trade, again just up from station, is a relic of a boozer but has character and good beer. After that you are ed. Brewers (Battery), Brown Bear, Angel,Castle, Leaping Salmon are all utter shiteholes as is Eyemouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the rinky dink Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 cheers guys! it won't be Eyemouth this time but maybe one day. Sounds like Foxtons gets the vote for lunch, and the Curfew Bar, Barrels, Free Trade and Pilot Inn get a visit in whatever order we come across them. I like to visit at least one random jakey bar when i'm on a crawl too though, does Berwick have somewhere to fit that billing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curfew is a bar I can sit all day in and never have the same drink twice. They have a facebook page, take a look as it's worth it. Tidy boiler works in it too.

I lived in Berwick for 18 months about 8 eight years ago and Brewers was rough but got taken over and improved. Also used to go there after playing against local football team for food, which was the best feed you got anywhere in the Border Amateur League. Shame if it has return to being rough though.

Aye, I've been in the Brewers a few times, it's about as rough as Miss Cranston's Tea Room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy37 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Aye, I've been in the Brewers a few times, it's about as rough as Miss Cranston's Tea Room. It is a hole.Has a landlady who would wrestle you to the ground, clientele who have never done a day's work and have 3 eyes and 12 fingers and beer that is rotten. Glad you enjoyed it though. Each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I wouldn't go as far as to say I enjoyed it. It's a good while since I've been in - always just been there to kill time before a train - was ok in a 'does the job' way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
