Bier & Twist, Lancaster

personally I do remember it as the Blue Anchor and it was crap. you may still think it's crap. is it a Spanish tapas bar or still a pub? it wouldn't be top of my list for places to go for a meal or a drink. but it's quite pleasant all the same. three decent real ales to try and friendly staff.

Entry down an alley into a seating area. Bar up steps to left then on right hand side. Zenith IPA @ 5% ABV on hand pump.

Remember it as the Blue Anchor what have they done to it Ok its nice but its no longer a pub like Mars no atmosphere why do they keep destroying good busy pubs its criminal why dont they just build new up market wine bars or take one of the many empty shops over

[Reviewed as Blue Anchor incarnation] Not great, six handpulls on the go make it look better than it is. The atmosphere was a strange mix of dead, yet rough. The decor didn't help, it was a bit manky disguised by lots of blue lighting though the building itself is quite nice. The beer was of dubious quality, the sort of thing a decent landlord should eliminate by a quick taster during the day. Pub is quite large and has two areas, the left area mainly populated by dubious types. Lancaster has so many good pubs that this place is a complete non-starter
