One of the best pubs for real ale in Lancaster and worth the short walk to the far side of the bus station. I counted eight hand pumps on the bar when I was here in April, with two ciders from Lilleys and five beers (see photos), with a sixth line being cleaned while I was there and the beer being pulled through as I was leaving. My half of Pale Yan from Westmorland Brewery was very good, easily NBSS 4, and at £3.80 per pint one of only two beers I came across on this visit to Lancaster that was below the £4 mark. Well worth a return visit and if I find another beer of the same quality I reckon the pub will go from 7 to 8.
Date of visit: 8th April 2023
A further visit towards the end of last year found a very good Lakes Brew Pale (NBSS 3.5) and more recently an incredible Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted (NBSS 4.5), priced at just £3.90/pint (see photo of blackboard for all cask beers and prices on this visit). So I've upped this pub's rating from 7 to 9.

i still like this pub, but as I was sat here today I realised this is my first ever visit in daylight and without live music! five or six tables with Wetherspoons-like all day customers but it was probably busier outside. Few ales on, sports on the TV and heavy metal from the jukebox . odd mixture but it’s a bit different from the usual and I like it for that.

a cliquey but otherwise pretty good rock pub consisting of one ripped out space and an extra little room with a second pool table. it's largely a rockers pub and the clientele extremely mixed. it got flooded out a couple of years ago so I guess we're lucky to still have it.
