The Climbers’ Bar is famous as a timeless watering hole for generations of weary walkers, and the atmosphere and the beer always hits the spot. It is in a stunningly beautiful location beneath the surrounding fells and is naturally popular with walkers. Local ales are featured on the bar with occasional outsiders for variety. The fare is limited yet enjoyable, as are the facilities. Plenty of tables in the garden give the best views. The bus from Ambleside is an added bonus for the less-active visitor.

Note, the bar has been known for many years as The Hikers Bar, and there was a sign over the door to this effect. The operator now refers to this as the Climbers Bar - and who are we to argue.
