Old Boots left this review about Lucky Duck

A corner bar, formerly a part of the cinema now occupied by the Regal Moon ‘spoons, it was a bottle shop before being allowed to serve draught beer. Inside the small interior it has stripped brickwork painted red, an industrial floor, and mixed basic seating. There are two pulls at the end of the bar, two beers from Rossendale on this occasion, there’s a quad T-Bar as well. The duck inscribed stairs lead to a room with a pool table and in the corner the unisex toilet.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Lucky Duck

This bar was formerly a storage area for Wetherspoons and you can definitely see it is part of the Art deco building and takes up a small left hand corner of the former picture house.
The interior here has a ground and first floor, with the first floor housing a pool table and some further seating. The staircase up was rather steep, so you have to have your wits about you coming back down. The downstairs bar faces you as you enter and the counter is of a low slung variety, with patterned tiles around the floor perimeter. Two friendly and chatty staff on our Thursday eve visit. One handpump on the bar serving Serious Brewing Company Wolf, a single hopped pale ale at 4.2%, which went down a treat.

Now has a handpump, which I believe is to become two in the near future. Also gives a small CAMRA discount.

Reopened with some draught beer. 3 keg Camden products and an Orchard Pig cider. I'm not convinced that the Dale is ready for £5.50 pints, but we'll see.
