This city centre bar has previously been O'Neill's and more recently Shenanigans before it underwent a significant refurbishment and reopened in October 2018 under the name of the Northern Way. Serving real ales, it has four hand pumps, one or two are used for cask beers whilst the others serve fruit ciders. Beer prices are amongst the lowest in the area.

There are many TVs showing mainly sports and the pub can be busy especially at weekends. A sheltered rooftop terrace is provided with seating and heating. The pub is also notable for the series of murals, which have been painted on the gable end facing Edward Street in recent years; initially Brexit related, then commemorating the end of World War 1, more recently celebrating the NHS, the emergency services and key workers in the fight against Coronavirus and then a fresh mural for 2023, celebrating Preston's history.
