πŸ‘πŸ‘ We had an exceptional experience at Surly's. We are training a Seeing Eye Dog and all staff were super accomodating with us. The drinks were also very good, and loved the fact that we could order in our own food. Thanks so much again and we can't wait to visit soon :) People often mention staff, friendly, garden, Great, great, beer, drinks, selection, local, beers,

    The location was easily found on google maps. The place was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. If you are a dog lover then do not think twice to visit the place as it is pet friendly, so many pets enjoy the vibes at this garden. But if you are not much of a dog lover like me then think 100 and more times before you visit the place. They did not had a food menu and requested us to use uber eats or visit the near by restaurants to bring food and enjoy and their place. So I ended up having a cocktail which was full of artificial flavors. So I did not quite enjoyed the place as much as a pet lover would.

    Absolutely loved The Pav cocktail. Nice bar in Preston. Can order outside food to be delivered. They only serve packet chips which were pretty nice.

    A well organised oasis of warmth, drinks and bar food. Well attended by twenty- and thirty-something people in small groups, with the bar's social functions readily evident. Very pleasant.

    Surleys is an amazing little local bar. Great astroturf outside area where doggos are welcome. Nice group of friendly people. Delicious drinks. Your can get pizza from next door and eat it in the pub. Best in the area by far :)

    Amazing and warm atmosphere and great place to bring your furry friend! The beers on tap could be more exciting and there could be more taps. And the wine selection could also be more palatable. But, as it's the only bar in the area with a great atmosphere, it's still worth going to.

    Surly’s has very quickly become our new local favourite. The atmosphere is always great, the staff is lovely and drinks are good. Massive bonus for being dog friendly too. Such an asset to our local community!

    My fav local bar! Delicious cocktails! Lovely staff! Cozy environment. You can BYO food and have it there. I remember once I got Indian food which isn’t the easiest thing to eat but the pizza next door had really long waiting, the bar staff even offered us plates and cutleries! Unforgettable. My friends and I have been here so many times and lots of my memorable time is associated with lovely Surly.

    Great little bar I just discovered. Only reason gave 3 stars - Would be even better if the beer garden was split into half smoking, half no smoking. Even better if all non smoking... Why do they get the whole outdoor area and non smokers pushed inside? Or have to tolerate it... Would come back and hopefully see some change πŸ™

    Great little bar located in Preston, just located up the road from the main strip. Very friendly staff, great ambience and tunes. Heaters out the back in the beer garden so you don't freeze. A great range of 🍸 🍻 drinks, dog friendly, so you can really feel at home. Best neighbourhood bar I've come across in a very long time.

    Has an outdoor covered area where dogs are allowed. It's not a huge space, so depending how you feel about dogs, this might be an attractive feature or not. Good range of craft beers in cans and on tap

    Friendly bar staff, usually a decent beer on their 4 taps. Cocktails, artificial grass beer garden out the back, dog friendly and an awesome spot for a sunny day beer.

    Excellent bar with knowledgeable bartenders about drink choices. Cue outdoor garden, with a vibrant social crowd. Nice and cosy inside too. Italian pizza place next door as food option too. Recommend πŸ’―πŸ₯°πŸ‘Œ

    Went and ordered wine on 06/07/23,it was awful and sent it back, with no replacement and paid for 2 new wines. Dissapointing and overpriced. Will stick to Raccoon Club and will not be going back.

    Surly's is a neighbourhood bar with a fun, charming vibe. Matt and Sarah are lovely and welcoming. I've hosted trivia there, and it was a great atmosphere. I stayed for the yummy cocktails, and we ordered decent food from next door! Definitely recommend checking this out :)
