Stopped here for a beer on August Bank Holiday. Nice range of craft beers and some outside seating. We were told that kids under 16 were not allowed in the cat cafe part as 'some just don't behave' Shame as this rule keeps changing (it...used to be 10). We also noticed a sign by the till saying 'No t*ats'. Perhaps the owner can explain this to my 10 year old who asked what it meant ??!!. In summary....Nice beer...poor attitude. Not family friendly. Will not return.More

We laughed, we cried, we gasped, we sighed and we cowered with fear from the tales of dismembered limbs and stories of revenge and screaming skulls. The Director was a brilliant, skillful story teller, and the hour and a half tour was just about right....Would highly recommend!More

Lovely quirky bar, really good draft stout and lager we sat outside enjoying the sunshine each day we visited, staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough for you

Lovely quirky place with cats (yes, really - they had their own room) and great beer. Also did wine so we all sat in the sun out on the street having a drink. The bartender was really pleasant and cheerful and made us (tourists on...a coach party) feel really welcome. The bar snacks menu looked good but we were short of time so didn't try any. Wish we'd come here first instead of wasting our time at the less friendly pub over the road (Queens Head).More

We loved the opportunity to drink among the 7 cute cars where Jasmine took a shine to my coat and had a nap on it last Saturday. We also enjoyed a pint of the IPA Fell and Apple Pulp Craft Cider. Would definitely recommend a...visit.More

Just because they are rescue cats does not mean they have to be kept indoors for the rest of their lives like we were told by owners. Cats need to be independent and not constantly surrounded by strangers invading their space. The place stank of...captivity and depression. Very sad looking cats. Can’t believe rescue centres provide cars to this business. Heartbreaking.More

Cats and beer. What’s not to love? Came on a Sunday afternoon. Great atmosphere nice team behind the bar too. All cats are rescues. Nice views of hawkshead around the place too.

Visited here to get a break from some heavy rain. From the outside looks great and offers a large selection of bottled craft ales and some draft beers. Unfortunately or fortunately we arrived just as they were setting up for a private event and we’re...told once we had paid for our drinks we could only sit in the small (2 stools) bar area which was ok as we were only staying for one drink. The staff were nice enough, although a bit preoccupied with the private event so not that chatty, and the beer was good. The only issue was that when the doors to the main cafe/drinking area opened there was an awful smell of what one can only describe as a large cat litter! The smell was so off putting we could only last 10 mins. We are not cat haters but definitely not an ambience/smell I would consider great for food/drink.More

This review is for Tallow Tales tours which start at KITTchen at 6pm on most Wed and Sun evenings. Such a great alternative tour of Hawkshead by an amazing and enthusiastic talent, even in the rain! Definitely make time to do this on a trip...to the Lake District. A great evening for the entire family, well, kids older than 10 I would recommend. Go to the KITTchen website for more details and booking info.More

What’s not to love? Fantastic craft beer and the unassuming company of cats. Great music, great vibe, super friendly owners who took the time to speak with us and share the philosophy behind the bar. Will definitely return again. Thank you!

We just had to go, what’s not to like, cats and beer. Had a sneaky pint and sat with the cats. Nice friendly people, but remember, do not pick up the cats.

Tiny but excellent craft beer. The beer for Withnail and I event night was a highlight! Lots of hipsters in the clientele. We only had a beer - didn't try any food. Tables outside can catch the evening sun too.
