I got the salad and it was so flavorful and I really enjoyed it. It was kind of hard trying to figure out how to get a seat and order but it was really good food once we got sat. (It's not table service, you have to order at the bar ). read more

We're staying in Grasmere so I hopped onto Yelp to see where was good to eat. We stopped here for dinner on a raining evening and the restaurant was packed so opted to eat in the bar area. We ordered a burger and the fish and chips. My husband had the burger and it was surprisingly large and cooked beautifully. I had the fish and chips and it was fantastic! It was served with mushy peas and the best tasting tartar sauce I have ever tasted! The service was great; fast and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and then headed off back into the rain! I definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in the area. The restaurant is around the back/side and the lodging entrance is at the front. read more

This review is about tweediesfood. The beer selection is very good. We had the burger and the fish and chips and tobe frank, it was the very worst of pub food. The quantity was amazing but the quality was poor. so some people will be happy as they will have a huge plateful but if you think you will be getting hotel quality food then you will be disappointed. read more

Great interior, top notch selection of beers & dog friendly! What more could you want? Walking from Ambleside to Grassmere requires planning, determination and luck. Ok maybe not but you will need waterproofs, a vague sense of direction and beer. The latter was provided by our first stop off at this great little place. There was a good amount of outside seating to take in the last of the sunshine then a roaring fire for when we got chilly and moved inside. They do food but only until 3 so get there in time if you are hungry (we missed it by 10 minutes). I had a pint of fruli aka nectar of the gods, there was also a great selection of hand pulls and other bottles. Lots of cute dogs for us to pet and dream of owning. They have a dining section that's separate and appeared to take bookings as several table said reserved on them. read more

Tweedies Bar - Bars Near Me - Grasmere, CMA

THE POSTCARD LIFE recommends. Must must go, this pub also has a beer garden especially for the summers, and not to miss the amazingly wide variety of beers. They have decorated the place really well with all the beer coasters and logos possible. We also had the hand cut fries out here which were pretty average though. If you are a beer person, visiting Keswick or Ambleside- please do visit this place. Not to forget, the famous Grasmere Gingerbread shop is literally at a 2 min walking distance. read more

We popped into Tweedies Bar - the name in a much fancier font that one would expect, though still provoking various Chicken Run impressions within the group - after a day wandering around Grasmere and Ambelside. Basking in what was left of that days sun, we sat outside, so I can't give any opinion on the interior, aside from the very flash and impressive chandelier I spied. There is ample seating outside and everyone was there; the couple walking the dogs, the family enjoying a hike, the older group enjoying a glass of prosecco. I'm not sure you could get more stereotypical 'The Lakes' than in a pub like this. I enjoyed half a pint (those roads are windy!) of Firey Fox cider, a local draught, and it went down a treat, warming me up when the sun started to hide. I'd confidently assume that Tweedies is heaving during the summer months so be warned if you're planning on just popping in. read more

After years of going to Tweedies I'm not ever disappointed.. its got everything. Want to warm up in winter have a pint from the incredible selection of real ale or 3 1/3 pints served in a plank if you can't decide! Why not sit out in the sunshine in the lovely well kept grounds with a glass of cold crisp and well choosen wine. Not drinking have a coffee or hot chocolate .. delicious! Take your dog, logon the wifi, catch a band or one of their great beer festivals. . Either way rock up in walking gear expect great service and an incredible bar. I have eaten here but not for a while.. when I did it was fantastic and in a large group which they coped with no problem. If you are in Grasmere don't bother with a tea shop... go here! read more

There can be nothing more satisfying returning to a bar the night after a great night and spying that they have 2 or 3 more guest ales for me to try, that weren't there the night before along with the old favourites from the previous even. This pub is what beer tasting paddles are made for! I have never had a bad night in this pub and most weekends you seem to get an assortment of live music. I have yet to try the expansive beer garden as I only ever visit in the seemingly wet winter months. Tweedies is always warm and inviting and a great place to dry off. read more

The perfect spot to rest your weary legs after a long walk in the wet wilds of the lakes. They have tasty food galore, a roaring fire, cheery bar staff (who don't flee at the sight of a group of 30 walkers marching towards the bar) and so many beers on tap I lost count. You can even sample the beers in a trio of third pints on a paddle. Marvellous! I have yet to try their substantial beer garden, as I have only (perhaps slightly madly) only visited Grasmere during the winter months. But I am sure it is as bustling and charming as the rest. On this occasion I was lucky enough to be there on a Sunday to try their roasts. What a treat! Juicy pink beef, fluffy yorkshire and lashings of gravy. Every morsel was scrumptious and cooked to perfection. If only it wasn't a 7 hour drive from my home in Bristol! read more

My wife and I are senior citizens, tourists from America. We had dinner here on a weeknight. After looking at the more formal dining room in a different part of the Dale Lodge hotel, and after looking at Tweedies Bar inside and outside, we chose to sit at the picnic tables outdoors on the lawn at Tweedies. Attractive spot to eat outside. However the young man that brought food out to the tables was in a foul mood, and families with young kids allowed their children to romp around yelling with no intervention from staff, so we regretted our choice and we wish we would have chosen the more formal dining room. Our dinner experience was not classy at all. It was casual, which is good, but also kind of crazy (something we did not expect in such a charming, quaint village setting). We didn't enjoy our dinner at Tweedies. read more

Lovely place for the real ale drinker. Always a great choice of ales...and it's in a superb setting.

Great beer selection and wonderful beer garden. Service very slow on a Monday afternoon during high season, but otherwise a great pub.

Tweedies is one of my favourite pubs anywhere. Despite it being part of a hotel it feels like a wonderfully intimate pub, with a fantastic selection of beers and some great live music on occasions. Inside it is all muted pine and beer pump labels which emphasises the fact this is a high temple of beer. There is an attached restaurant where you can still drink if not busy. The food is good. We had fresh whitebait and an enormous steak and ale pie. You can also eat the same menu in the hotel restaurant which is less busy. They also do"bats" of three sample ales. If in Grasmere it is an almost compulsory stop. read more

Just had an incredible dinner with my cousin. Anyone who says the food here is so-and-so is either eating at Michelin Star restaurants or is rummaging through Tweedies' trash because this is one of the best meals we have ever had. The cheese soufflé is a dream, the pheasant spring roll is a treat, and the pot pie is super hearty. Couldn't even wait till dessert to post this review, but I'm sure it'll be just as delish! A definite must-stop!!! read more

Although this seemed to be just a pub, there was an extensive food menu. No one was eating while we were there, just enjoying a very "mountain cabin" type of atmosphere. All wood, fireplace going, and dog friendly. Large communcal tables and at 5:00 PM everyone was headed to the same direction and that was a pint to finish up the afternoon before dinner. The pub seemed like it could be at a ski area somewhere up in the mountains of Canada or Switzerland. Everyone was cheerful and the ceiling beams were lined with hundreds of beer markers from maybe every local brewery in the UK. I had a "bat" which is similar to the US "flight" but with only 3 one-third pints. What a great way to try several to find you favorite. I liked the Coniston Oatmeal Stout. I highly recommend this place for just 30 minutes if you have time. Just fantastic and perfect for ending the afternoon. read more
