Great dog- friendly pub, good beer, live music (Thurs, Sunday), great staff. Very quiet during the week, never gets too rammed even at weekends. Good place to meet friends to sit and chat.
Never stayed here and probably wouldn't with the 'Mucky Muldoons' Irish-style pub which is part of the hotel open to the public below likely to be noisy. The pub itself though is ace. Proper Irish-style pub décor and lovely pints of Guinness (good selection of other pints available). Friendly staff, takes card and friendly atmosphere. Open mic night is worth dropping into on a Thursday. Highly recommended, very unlikely location for an Irish pub!
On the sea front Real ale Not sure about parking Hotel and Irish bar all rolled into one. Small outdoor seating Very friendly Dogs allowed Great views
Went to the pub side as I haven't been in here for a while. Great atmosphere whilst the Rugby was on and a cracking pint of Guinness!
Was in the pub section for a live band and had a great night. People were very polite as where the staff more than I can say about certain other pub in the nearby location, so it was a great evening out.
Saturday 22nd October 2022 We visited this really good 2 roomed old fashioned real ale pub on cleethorpes sea front 1 room had rev james on handpump 1 room had Butcomb ""Hacker a lovely fruity pale ale Pub was friendly spaciouscand comfortable. Well worth a visit when in Cleethorpes Tuesday 13th August 2024 This pub is a celler vault type pub today it had 2 very good real ales on the landlord, which was very good, and any interior was largely unspoilt. The music was a type that was like marmite /either like or hate. This pub was a good place to drink good real ale
After having a problem with our original booking elsewhere in Cleethorpes we called into Kings Royal Hotel and they had room for us. We felt welcomed by all staff members. The breakfasts were really good and it was a really enjoyable stay. We will definitely go back there.
Never stayed in the hotel but frequent visitor to it's bar known as 'Mucky Muldoons'. Great local pub just far enough away from the main concentration of bars in the centre of Cleethorpes. Lovely cosy atmosphere and always a warm welcome. Great for live music in intimate surroundings. Could happily spend all evening here without the need to move on anywhere else.
