The Drummers Arms, Blackburn

The Drummers Arms is closed while essential work is carried out on the ceiling and is expected to open in late October

Immediately next door to the Rock Bar it’s more a square roomed micro rather than the usual long and thin. The counter is to the rear with five pulls; just brews from micro or small breweries, there’s also two non Camra ciders (Lilly’s) and three keg taps of not very exciting beers. Olde decor, with pub signs and posters, copper topped round tables which used to be a pub favourite, there’s also a rectangular one and some low leather armchairs. Sadly the default drinking vessel is bloody handle glasses, goes with the retro copper top tables I suppose. It has a piano in one corner and it’s a long staircase up to the toilets.
