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.
