Old Black Bull

Made to feel welcome by the landlady and will definitely be calling in again when we're in Preston.

Went in and stood at bar for 5 mins with no staff behind bar. When they did emerge there was no "sorry to keep you waiting" or "will be with you in a minute". Looked at us like dirt and went off to serve someone else. Pubs are going to the wall every day then they treat customers like that. Keep it up. 👍

Not really a pub that draws you in on exterior appearance but a nice enough quite spacious interior and the lady server was more pleasant and appreciative of the trade than most. The pint I had was very enjoyable which made the cost of it worthwhile.. I was surprised how expensive the beer was considering the pub is opposite a cheap booze JD Wetherspoon pub.

Just the best Sunday Lunch, excellent service, I would recommend

OK. Hand on heart, we walked past earlier and it is a beautiful building. Thought it was a Greene King pub but apparently recently sold off. Jorvic and Madge expected a range of real ales. Only one available, which to be fair was very good. Inside has been gutted and had music blaring out for an almost empty pub. Not a place for old gits like me.

Not changed much since I went in 20yrs ago! Which is a good thing. Went to see band Ruff Kutz who were awesome 🤟
Was glad to see pool table still there in same place, I like that the pub is kinda separated into two parts, the seating area near window & with pool table, then the rest open with space for bands to perform.
It's not huge space there so if you're by the speakers your ears might be ringing lol but it has a fab cosy atmosphere & staff all were great. Quick service at the bar. Loved it!

Fantastic local pub based in the city centre. Very difficult to find this kind of pub these days. Everyone is friendly and welcoming from the moment you enter. They have a great range of drinks, from real ale to Guinness to a large selection of draught lagers to ciders.

The top shelf selection here is beyond anything else you find in other places. If you want it this place has it! Prices are as expected for a city centre pub although they have so many offers on you will always find a great deal.

On friday and Saturday nights they have bands on every single week. I have not seen an atmosphere in a pub like this since before the dreaded lockdown and longer.

There is also an outside seating area to the back. Which has lots of outside seating.

Overall a fantastic place to visit.
