Brow’s Bar
A traditional public bar full of warmth, character, and local history - with real ales on tap, regular guest ales, and the spirit of the old Grey Horse still going strong.
A bar with a story to tell
Brow’s Bar is named after Mrs. Brow, a former landlady remembered by generations of locals as one of the defining figures in the history of The Grey Horse. Tough but fair, and respected by all who knew her, she was known for running a tight ship and keeping the pub very much in order. Today, Brow’s Bar is full of character, familiarity, and local pride.
Keeping the old Grey Horse alive
More than just a name above the door, Brow’s Bar holds onto a way of pub life that many locals still remember fondly. It remains the traditional public bar at The Grey Horse — a place for proper pints, familiar conversation, and the kind of atmosphere that only comes from years of shared history. With four real ales on tap, regular guest ales, and under-seat heating adding a touch of comfort to its old nickname as “The Arctic Bar”, Brow’s Bar brings together heritage, warmth, and everything people value in a proper local pub.
