Clubhouse Bar

Right, so Clubhouse Bar on Lord Street... it’s decent. I've been a few times. It's got a bit of a sports bar vibe without being totally rammed with screens, you know? More like a place to catch a game if you're already out and about. Nothing too fancy, but it does the job. Catches most of the foot traffic heading down Lord Street.

It's got a pretty solid 4-star rating from over 100 reviews online, so it's not just me saying it's alright. They're open pretty late most nights, usually until 2 AM on the weekends. Give them a ring on 01704 538888 if you want to check if they've got something special on, like live music, or if there's a big match and you want to guarantee a seat. It's not a local's local like some of the pubs in Churchtown, but it's a good option if you're in town.

The atmosphere is generally pretty lively, especially on weekend evenings. Good for a group that wants a bit of noise, but maybe not the best for a quiet catch-up. It's not really a cocktail bar, more of a beer and spirits kind of place. I wouldn’t say it is dog-friendly, so leave your furry pal at home.

One tip: Lord Street parking can be a nightmare, so either get the train in or try the side streets for parking, but be careful of the restrictions.
