Settle Inn — Restaurant in Great Britain

Not one of your flashy trendy bars, much more an old-fashioned popular local pub with a log fire, historic atmosphere and a friendly welcome. It's been a pub since 1733!

No food except crisps and nuts, but there's always an interesting choice of beers, which change regularly, and with good fair prices. A wide variety of customers - just as popular with students, young people and tourists as with regular older locals.

It was very welcoming and fun to talk to the people working and drinking at the bar. The drinks are very well priced and it is dog friendly so I got my puppy fix in with a sweet dog named Blue.

I think as long as you are willing to joke around a bit you will fit right in but if you are up tight, this isn’t the place for you. If you’re American, think like a local pub in RI or Mass where everyone knows your name but everyone (lovingly) makes fun of each other. But add a Scottish accent. 10 out of 10 for an...
