16 Millstone Lane, City Centre, Leicester, LE1 5JN (View on Google Map)

Micropub opened in 2016 on the ground floor of a building in a conservation area previously used as offices. There is a single light airy room with a bar opposite as you enter. Behind the counter, through a glass partition, a cellar may be viewed. Board games and reading material may be found on shelves, and there are displays of old maps of Leicester around the walls. Guest beers are sourced from microbreweries around the country and include many rare beers. A full range of Samuel Smith's bottled beers is also available. Oversize glasses ensure customers get a full pint. No meals, but local pork pies and well-filled cheese or ham cobs are sold. On the last Sunday of the month opens later for music.

The house beer is Blue Boar Bitter, a 4.5% red ale brewed by Bang The Elephant brewery in Langley Mill, Derbyshire. This is a unique brew and can only be sampled in the Blue Boar and in their sister pub, the Rock Cafe & Bar, Coalville.

Historic Interest

The pub is named in honour of the Blue Boar Inn where Richard III stayed before the Battle of Bosworth Field.
