    I wore linen pants and didn’t get let in, so silly considering the venue wasn’t even 1/4 full. On a power trip, don’t bother.

    Unfortunately, from all the times I’ve been going into bees I’ve never seen it this bad. I believe they’ve got a new manager and the place is going down hill massively. Absolutely disappointing!

    Everything will be fine, just one waitress don't care about anything, we waits more than one hour to be serviced, three times I ask her about this and only answer was " please sit down, you have to sit down " I understand restrictions but Everything has limits.

    Been in several times now and it's quieter than before unless football is on. Not like it used to be but hopefully it will return.

    Still a very popular pub especially at Weekend when Dj's will be playing the popular music of the times. Middle range prices too. Can be busy at peak times, but well managed and pleasant staff

    Bee's Knees, Accrington.. Sheesh, am normally inclined to write good things about a place.. Unfortunately, on this occasion, I cannot! Went to the toilet.. The overwhelming stench of stale urine, guides you to the gents toilet, that increases as you open the door. The first cubicle I went in, had no tissue in a double roll holder, so I tried next door, which opened, as neither cubicle had working locks, to surprise someone sat there. Next time I need the lavatory, I go for the Disabled one but it too suffers from the same fault, as I surprise some woman, in flagrante, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, in a well run pub... This complaint is laid squarely at the Managers feet, content to rake the money in, whilst ignoring the basic human and disabled needs. AVOID THIS PLACE, ENTIRE! If this is their toilets:what does it speak to their personal habits, where this, to this permits them to think that this is, normal. It isn't! It is a dirty/filthy place... AVOID, AT YOUR OWN RISK

    I'm not target demographic by about 30 years but it reminds me of those dives i frequented as a 20 something. Trying to play a pool match in here isn't easy when you cant think straight though 🤣🤣

    Pub in Accrington nice but for a young clientele

  • 1/5 Lewis 1 year ago on Google
    30 minutes to get served and bouncers are only there to start fights, not avoid them. Worst place in Accrington.

  • 2/5 Michael H. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything is sticky and dirty and the beer choice is naff and very expensive. Staff friendly enough though.

  • 1/5 Harprit S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Andy S. 2 years ago on Google
