A fine Traditional town centre pub with multiple drinking areas. Two handpumps dispense a regular beer from Thwaites alongside Old Rosie cider.

This survivor on Blackburn's Barbary Coast can get a bit noisy with a raucus clientele at times but this is how pubs used to be in the not too distant past especially around the centre of Blackburn and indeed other similar towns.

Information for this venue is provided by the East Lancashire Branch of CAMRA
