The Old Courthouse

The Old Courthouse is a bar on Fish Hill in Royston, set in a courtyard-style spot that gives it a slightly continental feel from the outside. The outdoor seating is a noticeable part of the appeal, and it’s the sort of place that works well for a drink outside when the weather plays along. Dogs are welcome too, which makes it a useful stop for people out with a four-legged companion. Inside and on the drinks side, cocktails are part of the draw, and the bar is set up for groups as well as more informal visits. Live music and live sport both feature, so it can shift from a place for a quieter cocktail to somewhere with a bit more going on later in the day. The overall picture from customers is of a bar with an attractive setting and a decent cocktail list, even if the experience can depend on what you’re after. If you’re heading over, it’s at 1849 Fish Hill in Royston. The mix of outdoor seating, live entertainment and sport makes it worth bearing in mind for an evening drink or a meet-up with friends, especially if you want somewhere where dogs can come along too.
