Bucking Fastard left this review about The Bobbin
Close to the bus station ,this ale house has a large open plan interior with the bar in one corner,a pool table and darts board,a raised section to one side and internal slatted blinds which I really dont like as they restrict sunlight and external views and emphasise the garish flock wallpaper.Some old boys were blocking the handpumps which on my trip were offering Little Critters Little Hopper,Rooster Krush'd Dreams,Daleside Monkey Wrench,Lakes Brew Pale Ale,and Westmorland APA (NBSS Poor ,clear yet metallic) along with 2 Lilly ciders.
Four very similar low strength pales showed a lack of imagination and this 2026 GBG entry didn't live up to expectation.I might avoid in future.

A large and lively town pub next to the bus station with monochromic décor including some quite striking flock wallpaper. A good selection of interesting ales was on offer, plus some craft and boxed Lilley's, although my choice of Westmoreland APA proved to be not great. Not my favourite pub in the centre but handy for the buses.

My first visit for a couple of years, and it's interesting to see that beer prices here are almost unchanged from my visits then, with my Lakes Brew Pale 3.4% not only just 20p per pint more than it was in January 2024, but in exactly the same very good condition. Other beers included a 3.4% mild from Brew York, a hazy pale from Loch Lomond and another pale from Little Brewing. There are also four ciders in boxes from Lillie's. The Bobbin is in the current GBG, and is an obvious choice on a visit to Lancaster, with the Sun and the Three Mariners both a brief walk away.
