Real ale discount scheme

Chorley's first micropub, this friendly and welcoming bar next door to the bus station opened at the beginning of August 2014 and was refurbished in January 2020. In late December 2021, the pub was then extended into the adjacent larger shop unit and the name changed to incorporate this new addition.

The Taproom retains a traditional feel, where up to seven cask ales are served on handpump, mainly from microbreweries from across the country, although a LocAle or two should normally be expected. To ensure a good range of ales each pump serves a distinct style of beer and you will also find six craft beers on keg (often including one from the nearby Rivington Brewery and others from further afield including beers from Europe), two Budvar Czech lagers and a range of wine and spirits.

The Victoria Rooms provide significant additional seating on several levels and a more up-market feel. The cask ale pumps from the Tap Room are mirrored here. There are also a further nine keg lines serving a variety of ciders and more craft beers, providing something to suit all tastes.
