    Argyle on tour!! Searching for real ale pubs....and this was top of the list. And so it turned out to be. So many ales in a male dominated environment. I had an Obsidian ( brewed in Bingley )....ps don't tell anyone its a Yorkshire beer poured in Lancashire! Friendly northern banter with the locals and varieties of crisps I have never even heard of....a good experience

    Fab little pub.Been a regular since they opened in 2016.Fab range of beers,ciders and wine.Great people you will soon be a friend of.The regulars are a bit mad but really friendly. My favourite pub by far,Jayne,Gary and Kev know their stuff.If you are visiting Deepdale for the football,this a must go to place to have a pre match bevy or two.Also you could try The Orchard (also owned by Gary and Jane ) just across the road by the market.Spirits sold here,live music most Saturdays in the Summer.

    One of the best pubs in Preston near the town centre. Affordable prices and excellent range of beers and alcohol. The ambience is so well done. They have seating available upstairs which gives a typical British vibe with a lot of board games and books to read. One can spend several hours just by calmly sitting, doing some activities and having chilled beer there.

    Very good pub about 10 minutes walk from Preston Station. Seven cask beers on handpump when I visited including a stout. The pub does not serve spirits. Preston's first micropub when it opened in 2016. A small lounge to the rear and another comfy lounge upstairs. Not too busy after the Spurs game at Deepdale.

    Lovely little spot, I was there on a Monday afternoon, so probably didn't see it at it's liveliest, but there was a fine selection of beer, and all I tried was in very good nick.

    Cracking selection of ales & lagers, we love siting upstairs in the comfy seats, downsrairs is better for chating to friendly locals

  • 5/5 MADDOGLEP 4 months ago on Google
    Madge and Jorvic totally agree that this bar deserves to be a CAMRA Good Beer Guide entry. They even have every Guide from 1987 to 2024 for you to skim through. Great for my nostalgia. Especially the many lost breweries as well as pubs. (Real ale scene in 2020's has never been better despite those who passed.) A TV displays the choice. Seven handpumps. I had a Lune Valley Pale.Very good. Lovely interior. Two rooms on ground floor plus lovely upstair lounge opposite the toilets. Great bar.

    Awesome little place, chilled atmosphere, and a great selection of ciders, lagers, ales and most other things besides. I don't drop in as often as I should. Absolutely a recommend for anyone, especially lovers of craft beer.

  • 5/5 Trefor E. 10 months ago on Google
    Fabulous place for a good old fashion chat with like minded people. Friendly, cosy atmosphere, curtious staff. Graet choice of real ales, at a good price. Will be back

  • 5/5 Mark F. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice and welcoming pub. We sat upstairs and there was plenty of room. The owner was very kind in not charging us after an order mix up. We'll be back

    Lovely pint of lager and great hospitality. A hidden gem in the city of Preston, would recommend everyone to pop in and try one of the countless beers :)

    One of the best ale houses in Preston. Always have a large range impeccably kept. A true gem!

  • 4/5 Robert R. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent little ale house. Part of the Preston ale trail. Definitely worth a visit as has plenty of options and reasonable prices. Only 4 starts because of all the many ales on offer ( about 15) I didnt like the one I chose.

    Excellent pub with six real ales. They have a good bottle section including Belgium 🇧🇪. One of the best pubs in Preston. Highly Recommended

    Quirky little bar in gorgeous characterful premises. Huge old sweeping staircase with upper level and comfy chairs. Good choice of beer and reasonably priced..

  • 5/5 Richard B. 2 years ago on Google
    A gem. Great choice of real ales. I had an outstanding pint of Wilde Child, Nebulous Interface. Saturday afternoon. Pleasant young lady behind the bar. We'll worth a visit. I'll be back soon.
