Although this pub is apparently now owned by Robinsons, there was only one beer from that brewery at the time of my visit earlier this year. This was a rebadged house beer, and other beers were from Oakham (JHB and Citra), Timothy Taylor Landlord and Hawkshead Dry Stone Stout. I went for the latter, which is not as good as their own Brodie's Prime (or their local rival Barngates with their Goodhew's Dry Stout), but it was in good condition. Compared with my visit 10 years ago I would say this pub had definitely improved, with some good music on the sound system, improved furnishings and I think the layout of the interior has also changed for the better. Service was good too. (I still prefer the Sun though.)

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Three Mariners
Claims to be city's oldest pub, and its appearance and position between the castle and quayside lend some credence. However, in the coronavirus era, most customers were sat outside on wooden tables at the front. Six real ales and a draft cider were advertised on a chalkboard beside the entrance, and I opted for the Hartley's inspired Cumbria Way (£3.95).

this is an excellent pub that should be high on the agenda for anyone visiting Lancaster. it's a bit foodie but fine in the bar area - very olde-worlde and a huge range of cask ales across 10 or so handpumps. not as far up itself as some in the city either.
