10 Best Breweries in Walmer Bridge

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."

"An abundance of choice in flavour is available to have in a cone, on waffles, or on a cake of your own choosing. If you ever head to gelato passion, make sure you try out their peanut butter cake with raspberry sorbet. Kind of like a PB&J sandwich deconstructed into ice cream!"

"You might recognise The Horror Crypt from The Killers music video for Here with Me, but this quirky spot on the promenade has recently undergone a facelift - transforming it into an exciting walk-through attraction. You'll find genuine props from horror movies & TV shows, terrifying special FX, animatronics and life size displays based on some of your favourite scary movies and histories most feared murderers - complete with many an unexpected surprise. A must-visit for any horror fan and definitely not for the faint hearted."

"Lurking amidst the retail shops on Birley Street lies the UK's only horror-themed tea room. The Crypt is a hangout for horror lovers and people who love the spooky season all year round. The walls are dripping with horror movie props, merchandise and memorabilia."
