“Dont try to get in on Saturday night after 10.30pm with tracksuit pants on...you wont get in...”

“I generally really do like this place. However, there is no DJ to add to the atmosphere. If your get the right DJ they can draw people in. That said, it can get busy even with the stale approache to playing music. Without feeling the input from the punters it will never achieve it's full potential. This is my option through experience. And not everyone will agree.”

“Called in here for a quick pint after seeing a potential business opportunity in Blackburn, and was pleasantly surprised, great atmosphere, fantastic bunch of people who was in at the time and friendly staff with excellent service, the one I intentionally popped in for turned into a couple. Great boozer and great crowd 😉👍💪”
