Badger Bar

About

The Badger Bar, a historic 17th‑century country pub located just steps from Rydal Water, has become a celebrated landmark in the Lake District. The Bar opens every day at noon and stays open through the evening, offering a menu of hearty pub fare and an extensive selection of real ales, many locally brewed. Guests can enjoy the lively atmosphere of log fires, open fires and the award‑winning beer, while watching the resident badgers that are fed nightly by dusk. The pub exudes a characterful, cosy ambience with rustic furnishings, oak beams and a separate beer garden, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors. Whether you’re after a relaxed brunch, a quick beer and food during the week or a family dinner in the evening, Badger Bar offers friendly service and a unique Lake District experience. The Bar also offers a booking service – reservations are usually taken for the meal times at 12:00‑14:30 and 17:30‑19:30, and, on weekends, a bit later. For those who wish to secure a table, booking can be done online via the main website or by email at info@theglenrothay.co.uk.
