Northern Monkey, Lytham Town Centre, Lytham St. Annes

Appears to be a major outlet for Northern Monkey brewery. A double fronted building perhaps previously a large home but now a pub. The main servery is in the larger right hand of the two front rooms. Three pulls, one of Northern Monkey and two guests, there are also 8 kegs with 4 from Northern Monkey. Modernised in an old style with nice floors and ceilings not withstanding the spider lights and the beer & food menus are on hard to read screens as Brainy Pool noted. Monkey themed artwork adorns the walls and there’s a heated covered area at the front outside.

A new brewpub for the Bolton based Northern Monkey, this one is a bit more trendy and has a greater emphasis on bar food, it fits in well into Lytham’s high street bar scene. Outdoor seating at the front, inside is an ultramodern bar with food and drink menus shown on TV screens - a bit awkward to read the small text as I’d left my glasses at home. Thankfully my eyes didn’t need to go any further than the three cask ale pumps with two of their own plus a guest mild. Only £4 a pint and excellent quality. It deserves to do well.
