I think I probably only came in here once or twice when I was in Morecambe in 1975, but I agree with Peter (below) that the bar then was not where it is now. I'll bet there were more internal walls, too; but that's a pretty safe bet with must pubs of this age, isn't it. That said, it was not unpleasant, and my brother liked it so much that he wanted to have another before going to the match. I think he liked the barmaid more than the pub, actually, but he readily agreed to call in again after the game instead. Sadly, she'd gone off duty by then.
Three beers on, Doom Bar and two from local breweries, one of which had changed when we came back later. All four beers tried were in good condition, though I ended up with Doom Bar on the return visit, which wasn't a patch on the Cross Bay beer from earlier. Some of the customers were friendly and talkative, so it was quite a good experience for us. Drawing 0-0 was less good, but we didn't let that spoil our evening. (There's a good walking route to the ground along Out Moss Lane, so I can recommend this one for a pre- or post-match beer. Also a friend of mine from Luton was staying at the pub and only paid £20 for his room.) Like a couple of other pubs on this Tuesday evening, we paid £2.22 for two halves - I don't know how that happens. It's cheap, don't complain!

Exactly the same beers on as Eighteen 66! Equally well done out also. Bar to right, pool table to left and various TVs.

Yes this was my first pub a drank in when i started to drink about 16 went in got a drink and moved away glad i had been served and we kept ourselves to our self not like the young ones today can remember the bar in another place and when you came through the side door it was on your right now that door as gone. You also could go down the steps at the front of the pub to another bar called the Rat Pit but thats gone now.
Will always call back in here so many happy times when i was young was had in here
