Blue Scrumpy left this review about Vinyl Tap
This visit to the Vinyl Tap felt very different to our last in October 2019. Last time we had approached from the city centre in the daylight and the area didn't seem too bad. This time we approached from the rear in the dark. Just at the end of the street, a drug deal was going wrong!
Inside was much busier than our last visit. Back then, we had been able to select some vinyl to play. This time, the record player was off and everybody was watching The Rocky Horror Show intently. This was showing in honour of the death of Tim Curry. A few were dancing to the music and many were obviously big fans.
Despite us arriving not too long before midnight last orders, bar staff were quite jolly and welcoming. Oakham Citra is the regular cask ale here. There were a couple of guests for our visit - Green Duck Reptillia & Ridge Brew Goldrush 1846. A couple of ciders were also available - Hunt's Bull Walloper & Lilley's Mango.
It feels a bit grungy in here but it has something a little different from many other pubs in Preston. So, I'm sure I'll be back again one day.

Another of those pubs that advertises opening hours and can’t be arsed to stick to them or tell people when they change. I can accept things like WhatPub, Google and Facebook aren’t reliable but the sign in the window has a little bit more credibility but no, it says Saturdays open at 1pm we were there at 2 and 3 and it was firmly closed. All the other sources give various times. A bloody GBG listed pub as well. Scroats.

Personally I quite liked this pub despite the reservation of some of the others on the crawl, but then again I still have and play loads of vinyl at home. I also had a pint of the Oakham Citra which was in great nick. I'll call in this one again as well.
