Will Larter left this review about The Bobbin
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.

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.
