Yorkshire Taps, Lancaster

I thought this place was fine. it's a bit tatty but a proper, friendly pub and it was busy with a mostly young crowd. regular rock music in the room upstairs.

This is a stone built end of terrace pub that I can't believe has always sported this name although couldn't find any previous one. Inside it's an open plan wooden floored room with a dart board, jukebox and a bar football table. I really can't remember when I last saw a set of "rods" in a pub! It bills itself as a live music venue and couldn't have been open for long as it only opens at 19:00 apart from Saturday. It was quiet on my Friday mid evening visit although a couple of student types were giving the bar football table a go. There were five hand pumps where I noted a cider, Black Sheep Bitter and another mainstream beer but the Landlord told me he was just putting on Dancing Duck Abduction. I waited for this and it was excellent at somewhere around or just over the £3.00 mark. I didn't think this was a dive at all, does everywhere have to be spotlessly clean and recently refurbished? It was never like that when I first started going to pubs. I much preferred it to the trendy Borough or the Sun Hotel.
