The CAMRA website says that this pub is open until at least midnight between Monday-Saturday. It's own website, Facebook and Google suggest 11pm. To be on the safe side, we headed here before 11 (around 10:40) to find it in complete darkness with all doors closed. It's social media account suggests that it is still trading. But it is perhaps best to call ahead if trying to visit here.

Large pub which I guess used to serve the local dockworkers and ferry passengers in their droves years ago. Nowadays it’s a bit more of a sedate place (for Fleetwood) and has been opened-out to the point of feeling sparse and a bit gloomy, not helped by the dark blue paintwork; however there's a nicer light-infused raised area to the left with red banquettes which I made a beeline for. Of note are some nice old etched windows and a traditional full height wood servery remaining from days of yore (though as noted elsewhere, the pillars at the servery are a nuisance). Noted pool and darts with both getting used; I didn’t see the snooker table though! Four ales at the bar, Bombardier plus three more interesting ones; I went for the Saltaire Blonde (NBSS 3). Oh, and Syd Little runs the kitchen here - didn’t see him though. 6.5

This surprisingly large old pub has been opened out substantially, but the bar counter still has remnants of the sliding glass screens whose retention would have seen it included in Camra's inventory of historic interiors. It's still an interesting and pleasant pub, though perhaps has too many beers for the amount of custom they get in the winter months. I met some of my Luton Town mates for a beer or two pre-match (this time last year), and some of the beers we had were not really up to scratch. I still wouldn't mind returning next time we're in the same league as Fleetwood Town, though.

This large corner pub isn't too bad. Quiet on this afternoon visit. A couple of real ales available.

Called in again and there was a live band blasting out Beatles covers etc. I had a pint of a Caledonian beer whose name escapes me. Sadly there was a group of intimidating low life boneheads in the pub making a real racket. We had a quick one and left, get rid of the dipsticks please.

After giving this place a miss last year we called in again. 4 beers on this time all from Caledonian. My pints of Over The Bar & EPA were both in decent nick and the other half says her red wine was fine. I'm not sure where this pub is going now, it's obviously not the real ale destination it once was, but it seems to be doing OK.

Called in again after this years festival. Very quiet and a very poor selection of beers. I had to have a Bombardier it was that poor a selection. It was a decent pint though. Why not try stocking some interesting beers guys?

Called in on Saturday after the beer festival. This is a popular pub that has live music on Saturdays. It's a one roomer now, but it has several distinct areas. Has a very badly designed bar that has wooden pillars every 4 feet or so which makes seeing what beer is on pretty difficult. 6 handpumps but only 4 beers on Saturday, all from the nationals. I had a couple of pints of something, I don't remember what they were as they weren't very interesting, but they were both well kept. One unusual feature is a full size snooker table. It's not really my sort of pub this, but it does what it does very well and in Fleetwood I suppose it's a bit of a gem.

This large one room pub is situated just across from the famous "Fleetwood Market" and is convenient to both bus and tram stops. It's in CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2010 but I find the real ale can be a bit "hit or miss". Good value "basic" food served. Venue for the Fleetwood Folk Club which meets every Thursday.
