The Alnmouth Ex-Servicemen's Club is at 35 Northumberland Street, on the main street through the village. It's a members' club that welcomes visitors. Mostly an evening venue during the week, opening from midday on Saturday and early afternoon on Sunday.

Tom's Notebook

Best for: A relaxed, inexpensive drink, pool and darts.

Dog friendly: Yes — dogs are welcome.

Good to know: The building is on Northumberland's local heritage list.

On Our List

The club kept turning up in searches around Heather & Sand, so we had a look into it.

Why people seem to like it

Visitors regularly mention how welcoming it is to people passing through. Drinks are reasonably priced, and there's pool and darts in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Not every visit is perfect

Don't expect anything fancy — it's a traditional social club, and there's no food to speak of. For a meal, you'll want somewhere else in the village.

So, would we go?

Yes, for a drink. A welcoming members' club in the middle of Alnmouth, a few doors from The Red Lion, sounds like a good stop on an evening walk with Meg.

But this isn't our review — not yet. When we've been, we'll replace it with what we found ourselves.

Heather & Sand verdict: On Our List. A friendly, good-value social club that's happy to welcome visitors. Simple, traditional, and well regarded by those who've popped in.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
