Latest reviews from Berwick Upon Tweed

“A beer store with a few taps, a good selection of different local beers. I found that the prices were on the high side compared to The Green Shop, so I only brought a couple.“

“A small gem of a shop well worth visiting if heading down the East Coast, it sells many different items, amongst them 20 or so different well priced bottles of beer from the region. Berwick itself is also well worth a visit with a interesting history, town walls to walk & castle ruins to explore.“

“Thought I'd add this after noticing that several other Ratebeerians had visited it. Berwick is a really interesting town, well worth visiting just for the walk along the river and under the stunning bridges to the castle ruins, followed by the circuit around the substantial Elizabethan town walls. Unfortunately Berwick's main high street, whilst still attractive, is totally dominated by the big shopping chains (unsurprisingly, given that it's the biggest town for miles around). Fortunately there's another road down near the river which has a rather more eclectic shopping experience, including such delights as an independent book shop, music shop and The Green Shop itself. The Green Shop is a unique rambling emporium of all that's environmentally, ethically, naturally and/or organically sound - mainly food and drink but also some clothes, gifts and homeware. If you're not into that stuff (and the enthusiasm and friendliness of the staff is so infectious that they may convert you anyway), they also stock some local booze. It's in the cabinets immediately on the right as you go in, so it's quite easy to miss it and go striding on into the depths of the shop as I did (and those depths are several rooms deep!). The beers include the largest range of Bear Claw brews I saw in my trip (about a dozen different brews including several special releases), plus a smattering from other local breweries. There's also some local spirits, and rather less local ciders. Maybe not a premier beer destination (apart from the Bear Claw stuff), but certainly an interesting and friendly place to visit if you're in Berwick.“

“Visited 05/04/17 before the NB south.... Brand new refurbished Landmark Pub (see website). 6 cask sticks on with a variance of local and scotch beer, all well kept. Several local bottles too. Front centre door with stained glass windows opens into a long single room building, with bar on left. Classic Scottish feel to this place, with the border so close. Proper old school pub and well worth a visit.“

“Visit 5th April. Good quiet micropub just outside the main town area. Didn’t sample the food. Beer selection good and well kept.“

“Nice example of shabby chic, decent locals’ bar. Dentist seat is interesting. Seem to recal this place has/had a very old table top space invaders for years. Decent ale, not very exciting though.“

“Good selection of 5 regional real ales with some interesting styles, plus a small fridge with about 20 or so bottle and cans. Would have scored higher, but I was charged £5.40 for two halves, so was either mischarged or it’s expensive.“

“Visited on 8th May 2016. Micropub set back off Bridge St with a little alleyway leading to a decent sized patio with the wooden shed beer cellar in the corner. The bar itself is on the right and has seating in. 4 beers on tap plus a fridge of bottles. 2 extra beers on gravity were the remnants of a recent beer festival. Beer range was good with good craft brews on tap. Staff were friendly. Haggis scotch eggs provided the snacks and were really good. It was a nice afternoon to sit in the sun on the patio and enjoy a pint. Nice place and recommended,“

“Visited on 8th May 2016. 2 roomed pub down toward the Tweed in Berwick. It’s about a 10 min walk downhill from the station. The dentist chair is still by the bar. Had a decent range of beers on from the local area. They were served a little cold. Service was good and the prices decent. A nice venue and worth a look.“

“Nice restaurant in the center of Berwick. Some ales on the menu but this is more a restaurant, not a bar to drink a lot of special beers. Food was very good though.“

“Cosy and nice beer bar in the center of Berwick. A lot of locals drinking their lager but they have a nice selection of micro brews in bottles and cask. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Worth a visit!“

“Nice restaurant. Good service - has 2 cask ales on, so worth a visit if you’re passing. Had a nice pint of Mild.“

“This was a great beer experience. I found CAMRA locals hanging out here and the bartender that day was a young guy who is starting his own brewery--deep knowledge about beer, incl. American beer. Atmospherically, I know some Brits will disagree, but this was my ideal of a pub. The decor is worn but elegant (green carpet, cushioned seats) and the stuff on the walls is unique but authentic. The barber’s seat was available when I was there. Good selection--not legendary, but a number of interesting taps. The only pub worth visiting in Berwick, from what I gather.“

“Centrally located Real Ale House in an atmospheric town and location. A relatively modern set up but decorated in a very traditional style, almost museum like. Good, interesting photographs on the walls. We didn’t get out to the patio area nor down to the lively music venue underneath, but both were highly recommended. The Dentist Chair by the bar is somewhat unique, but you will never move the locals out of it. Top place to go and we didn’t find anywhere to match it in the town.“
