Gone 2022

Gone: Closed 2 January 2022
There now: In the Meantime Hideaway, a restaurant. Not a pub, so not covered on this site in its own right
Address: 14-16 Devonshire Street

A vegan and veggie cocktail and gin bar and kitchen, cosy and industrial, in the cluster of bars that grew up on Devonshire Street from around 2010. CAMRA describe it as a modern city centre pub aimed at a young clientele, with craft and foreign beers alongside the cocktails, and it was known for sharing plates with names like Deep Fried America and a rotating gin list. It won Best City Bar at the Carlisle Living awards in 2014, and its Twitter account had been running since January 2013, the earliest trace of it.

CAMRA record the operator as Club Concrete Limited, a name shared with the nightclub Concrete under Lowther Street, though nothing confirms the two were run in common. It closed on 2 January 2022, and CAMRA marked it closed long term, future uncertain, that September. In the Meantime Hideaway, a restaurant, has taken the unit since. It is food-led rather than a pub, so it does not get an entry of its own here.
