The Old Black Bull - Preston

The pub is known for its live music events, particularly blues music, and is adorned with music memorabilia, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. If you find yourself with some time to spare before your bus arrives, stopping in for a drink at The Old Black Bull is a much better option than waiting in the cold at the bus stop. Arthur Chappell.

Very very upset! I attended a family get together and when approached by two loud and drunken men, they commented on me and my girlfriends (I am a gay woman) outfits. All was fine and we handled it quite well when one of the men asked if we were girlfriends and said he didn’t believe us until we kissed to “prove it”. I quickly insisted that the men leave us alone and went to get a staff member. The manager that came out wasn’t interested and very bluntly told me that the two men were regulars and somewhat friends and therefore they didn’t want to lose them as customers and insisted that we just brush off what they said as a bit of banter and surely “it didn’t upset you that much”. The manager told us that they could have said a lot worse considering we are lesbians. I wouldn’t recommend this is a nice place, in my opinion. Food wasn’t great either and the beer didn’t taste nice. Do not go here!!!!

In my opinion, this restaurant is the best in Preston. The staff is great, the atmosphere is fantastic, and they offer a good selection of ales. They also have great live music on weekends (when relevant restrictions allow). It's a must-visit in my book.

Decent pub. Check your credit card receipts. They have a tendency to charge you more than its worth. They said it was a mistake but I don't believe them. How does £6.20 change into £19.20 accidentaly. When I challenged them they had no idea how to refund me. I spent around 1 hour trying to sort it out.

Not as good as in the days when it was a Boddngtons house but always has a wide selection of real ale from small breweries. Same layout as the 70's, apart from a small extension into the adjacent shop. Live bands soem weekends, can be a bit loud.
