See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
Victorian local on the way to Preston marina, a mile from the city centre. Beer prices among the lowest in the area. Big on TV sports. Live music plays Friday and Saturday nights. There is disabled access through the courtyard. Five guest beers include at least one from Moorhouse's, otherwise they come from anywhere in the country. The pub had a short spell as Mighty Muldoons and the photo from that era is by Jim Holderness. November 2023 saw the arrival of a new mural on the gable end of the building on Blanche Street by local artist Shawn Sharpe (pictured), which draws upon the city's rich history in the textile industry.
