The Smallest Pub in The Lake District The Pie and Pint

You'll find yourself on Victoria Street hunting for what looks more like someone's front door than a pub, and that's rather the point. The Pie and Pint announces itself with charming modesty—this really is the Lake District's smallest bar, and it trades on that brilliantly without turning it into a gimmick. Once you're inside, there's barely room to swing a pint glass, which somehow makes everything feel warmer. The regulars know each other, the staff know their business, and you'll get the sense you've stumbled onto something the tourist hordes haven't quite figured out yet. It's the kind of place where your evening conversation happens whether you want it to or not.
