Snug, Carnforthback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
A popular micropub with some character and I did like the custom-made glazed wooden cabinet in which the cask stillages are housed. The Townhouse Barney's Stout was in very good condition yesterday.

Still a convivial little bar - hopefully the march of the vast drinking barns will be arrested and proper little 'micropubs' like this will flourish.

Small bar on the now unused Southbound mainline platform with decent brews and none of the frivolities of your modern pub offerings. Friendly and down to earth (not one for your Trevor Howards and Celia Johnsons.

As the name suggests this is a small real ale joint on Carnforth station, an entry in the 2014 GBG having opened in August 2013 and also appears in the 2015 GBG aswell.
5 ales and 2 real ciders on offer, also a large range of Belgian and Stone Brewery (American) bottles available.
My first couples of pints were Bowness Bay Swan Blonde @ 4.0% and then I went onto Bristol Beer Factories Independence Ale @ 4.6%
Good crowd of real ale drinkers and connoisseurs' in on my visit, everyone seemed to know their beers.
Absolutely cracking little place if only I lived here, gets a high score from me.
Revisited on Friday night before we left Carnforth and the pub was heaving, another cracking pint had and this just enforces the need for 10/10.
Superb.

Fantastic little gem. Had a very pleasant evening and found it to be very friendly with fantastic beer. Not for everyone's taste - there's no keg beers or spirits - but we'll certainly be making return visits.

A friendly micro pub on Carnforth railway station, itself famous for being the location of the film Brief Encounter. Four hand pulled beers, often from local independent breweries, plus bottles and cider. Basic pub food (eg pork pies, pickled eggs).
Closed on Mondays, and fairly restricted opening hours - 12-2pm (3pm on Sunday and 5-9pm (except Sunday).
Holds an annual beer festival in November (expanding into a hall in the adjacent heritage centre).
Well worth a visit.
