The Craft House, Lytham Town Centre, Lytham St. Annes

Shop conversion so it’s a small square room with a small counter at the back right, still with room for 4 pulls, a solo and a trio keg fount. A fair amount of seating is squeezed in as well. Spirits are also sold and there’s the usual blackboard listing what’s on and some interesting drink related ad items as decor.

it’s described as a beer cafe but if you like your simple micropubs this should be right up your street. Absolutely tiny inside with seven tables crammed in to the room. Board games available. It’s a typical micro but with some piped music, fairly standard selection of pale cask beers at fair value - £3.70 a pint of Thornbridge Brother Rabbit. Staff and customers seem friendly enough but it’s too small and utilitarian for my own tastes.

A friendly and welcoming micro pub with a choice of four handpulled ales on visit. The four choices were Rat Ratberry Porter, Dark Star Hophead, Tiny Rebel Five Dollar Shake and Purple Moose Snowdonia Ale. We quite liked this place so stayed for another round as we chatted to a couple of the locals at the bar.

Despite the trendy name this is a genuine micropub but not in the purest sense as there are just two cask offerings on hand pump and four keg options along with a range of bottles and cans. It consists of a small square room with a servery at the rear and assorted seating. The two beers were Timothy Taylor's Golden Best and Hawkshead Red. I went for the Red (£2.60 including discount) which was in superb condition. This is another excellent friendly micropub and well worth a visit.
