The Orchard, Preston

Micro-pub located in one corner of the covered part of the modern Market Hall. Full-height windows on two sides and light wood-panelling on the others. Just a pair of small high tables inside, a couple of beer-barrel tables in a partitioned area under the main Covered Market roof and a few more outside on the pavement. Three real ales on handpump - Prohibition APA and Karma Sitra from Wily Fox plus Beach House from Rivington (£3.20) - together with an interesting selection of ten craft keg options from taps on the bar-back.

Strange modern corner unit of the market building, small but good beer

Micro bar, in fact a microscopic bar in the new market complex. Has been extremely friendly when I have been in with staff and customers always happy to chat.

This microbar is situated in the new market hall but unlike some market hall bars this can be visited when the market has closed.There was 2 cask beers on offer plus on the back wall behind the bar 10 craft ales on tap.On the left is a blackboard displaying the breweries,beers and strengths of the craft beers.There is also an option of you sampling a third of a pint. Opening hours Sun till Thurs 12 till 10pm Friday and Sat 12 till 11pm
