Named after the historic Dog Beck that ran nearby this 'Wetherspoons' pub is in the converted Toppers nightclub situated conveniently between the main car park and centre of Penrith. It has the usual large range of real ales and food is served all day every day. The bar and downstairs area is a single open plan room on different levels. There is a large upstairs outside courtyard area on which meals can be taken 'al fresco' on warm summer days. Look out for the quotes from the 'Lakes Poets'.
