Ian Mapp left this review about The Old Vic

Better than average station pub - complete with electronic train timetable on the bar.

Handsome traditional exterior. Knocked through interior. L shaped bar, with different pumps on each side. Chalk board with offerings - at a reasonably £3 something a pint.

GBG 2023 entry.

Battleship grey painted beams made it a bit like drinking in an underground car park.

I would call back.

Shabby exterior didn’t bode well though fortunately the large knocked-through interior (still some distinct areas) was in a good state of repair and comfortable enough in a late 00’s refit kind of way, the banquette seating by the front windows were a good spot. Two banks of pumps, one of them hidden round the side and partially obscured by the COVID-era screens. I went for Osset Classic Twist (NBSS 4) and Black Edge East Coast (3.5) from a pretty samey style selection. Nice enough place given its proximity to the train station and the ale quality means it’s a crawl default. GBG ’22 listed.

A decent pub, surprising for one that's so close to the station. This was the starting point for the PuG crawl of Preston. I was a little early, but not the first, so I started off with a pint of Black Edge East Cost IPA which was in good nick. No need to describe the pub as it's been dome well in the reviews below. I'd happily call in here again.
