The enormously popular beer hall is now a major part of Clitheroe's thriving beer scene. It opened in July 2016, in a former mill dating back to the 19th century. It has the second longest bar in Britain at 106ft with more than 40 handpulls on the bar. You can expect to find all of Bowland's beers on, as well as another dozen or more beers from around the UK. The complex hosts a hotel, cinema, coffee shop and delicatessen and is a short walk from Clitheroe castle and the town centre.
