Multi award winning continental style bar for both beer and cider in the centre of Darwen.

5 hand pumps from the Hopstar range, which usually includes a dark beer and occasionally a guest beer. New brews are tried out here first but never last long due to popular demand so don’t hesitate to get down when one is on.

Large variety of bottled continental and world beers along with 2 or 3 ciders or perry (some of which meet CAMRA’s new definition of real cider)

Original artists/bands on Thursday nights and covers bands on Saturday nights. Last Thursday of the month open mic night and the last Saturday of the month local DJ sets.

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