Walkabout

Commercial and not as interesting as we were led to believe.
We came by to check out the fare. The fact that they offer kangaroo was a draw. Unfortunately the place is woefully understaffed so it’s hard to put in an order for food, which, when it eventually arrives is underwhelming at best.

Our Australian tour mates were excited to find an Australian bar in Carlisle. The Walkabout has a nice selection of beers and ciders. I tried a strawberry lime cider here that was pretty good. The Walkabout is spacious. There’s a first and second floor with plenty of seating. There was a large area for dancing as well. It was our last night on our tour so we grabbed a few drinks here after dinner chatting with our new friends. It was also located steps from our hotel which was convenient. The bartender was fast and amicable. It’s also a great place to people watch. There were some odd outfits here and there on some of the clientele. They also had some flat screens for viewing sports or the odd music video. They had a DJ spinning some music after a certain time too. For the most part, we sat at a few tables and enjoyed drinks with our friends.

This pub is now one of the most popular places to go on a night out in Carlisle. Situated right in the middle of Bothchergate where most of the drinking establishments are, it is very convenient for a quick one before going on to a nightclub.
When on a night out we tend to meet up in here first before going on to Terminal One as they are right next door to each other.
The drinks are really cheap here and although the pub can get packed out on a Saturday night it is always possible to find somewhere to sit. As the pub is set quite far back from the road in a newly developed area, there are a lot of seats outside with large parasols over them which are great to sit at on a summer’s night.
Walkabout also quite often has some great live music on and in particular new and upcoming bands which makes for a much better night out. There is plenty of room to have a boogie and the pub is open until very late if you just want to stay here instead of going somewhere else. The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff are nice and friendly aswell.
The food here is always very good and I have been known to indulge in kangaroo burger which was very yummy indeed.

God, this is my favourite haunts in my student years, as I tends to go in there, clubbing with my friends to get wrecked it a nice place very australian feeling to it.
awesome food as well. also they are really good.
As they are really good, as if I am driver for example, and group of my friends will drink, and then the bar will give the designated driver Free soft/​fruit drinks all night thru
So thats a very good offer! Even they have a great parking space in the back.

This is a fantastic pub right in the heart of Carlisle’s ‘Golden Mile’. It is very well placed for easy accessability on a night out.
The drinks are reasonably priced, and the staff very friendly. It can get quite busy on a Saturday night, but that’s part and parcel of being a popular nightspot.
Split over two floors, most times when I go, the first floor is closed, but it can be hired out for private functions. There is some seating and a dancefloor as well as television screens. There is also outdoor seating for smokers, or just if you fancy going outside.
