    Really nice drinks with lots of mango and chilli in them. Sandra Bullock is a very good Smackwater Jacktress.

    Β£3 to get in for a pretty dire bar. Was Ok 30 yr ago. Many a good night had. Was free back then too. But not sure what the attraction is today. No USP or anything else for that matter.

    Always a great night in smacks. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Lost my wallet in here on Saturday. Bar staff contacted me to let me know they found it. Got in back a few days later with all my cards and money still in it!

    Left my Jacket there last week, Contacted Paul the Manager who said it was still there and I was able to pop down and collect it. That’s why this place has been going so long. Well run, friendly and exceptional customer service πŸ’― Best Regards Scott C

    Went to Smacks last week for the first time in years after a works party. Everyone was in good spirits and it's probably one of the only late night places that isn't full of nutcases haha. I left my denim jacket there and inside the pocket was a really sentimental necklace. I rang them a week later and they had kept it to one side for me, necklace in the pocket and I was so happy. Thank you for looking after my belongings and also for a fab night 😊

    Friendliest, safest bar, with the nicest staff and best music in Burnley. An absolute must visit spot for a night out in Burnley.

  • 3/5 Claire 1 year ago on Google
    Visited for the first time on Saturday night. Was told by the door staff if we went in and purchased a drink we could get a wrist band and re-enter later without paying. (No idea how much the entry fee is though). Located well in the centre. Navigation of the stairs and floors was a task after a few sherberts though. In my opinion, the music was terrible most of the night but the bar service was quick.

    Really good bar to go for a night out. Lots of different music. You can dance the night away. Good priced drinks and cocktails. I left my coat and phone there after one to many sherbets. They were excellent in responding to me, to say they would look into it. My things were found and I was able to collect them the next day!. Great, professional staff..saved me a lot of hassle Thank you :)

    Smacks is the original Burnley night out. All the locals talk about it and I can see why! If you are not from the area and you are thinking of heading out into Burnley make smacks part of your to do list for the evening, as you will have a great laugh. I also misplaced my car keys and they were very good with the communication of returning them back to me. Thank you Paul πŸ‘πŸ»

    I just want to say a massive thank you! I had a great night here on saturday night....followed by my slightly tipsy self losing my handbag, phone and coat :( They couldn't have been any more amazing to help me...located my stuff, kept it safe and even dropped it off at another bar that was open during the week for me to collect it! Thank you so much for everything...I will be back!
