Tillys, Preston

Referred to as Tilly's, this narrow pub has one room at the front, occupying the width of the building, a sports room with pool and sports on TV at the back and a dining room beyond that. The bar is facing on entry, with four hand pumps on its modern counter. I can't remember if I asked the barman what Tillys Special Ale was and who brewed it (see photo). I think I just went straight for the Tetleys Dark Mild because it's been a long time since I'd seen this beer - probably not since the brewery in Leeds was demolished. There are leather arm chairs and dining chairs, adding to the modern feel of the rooms. At first I was quite comfortable here, but then it transpired that the juke box was set to play something randomly if no one fed it any coins, which spoiled things a bit for me.
