About This Pub
Ah, the Alexandra Pub – it's one of those unpretentious locals that just hits the spot for a relaxed pint and a chat. I love how the staff are so welcoming and the crowd is always up for a bit of banter, making it easy to settle in and enjoy yourself. The drinks are spot on, with great value prices on things like Guinness, and it's brilliant for a game of pool or a turn on the bowling green if you're in the mood for some light entertainment. It's got that classic pub charm with real ales and a laid-back atmosphere, and being dog-friendly is a real plus for anyone popping in with their pet. On the downside, if you're hoping for a fancy meal or a more contemporary vibe, it might not quite deliver – it's all about the simple pleasures here, with just basic snacks on offer. Still, for a straightforward, affordable night out, it's a solid choice that could become your go-to spot in Blackburn.

-
Food options are pretty basic, just sticking to bar snacks like crisps and nuts, so it's not the place for a proper meal.

There's not much of an online presence, which could make it harder to check out details or get updates before heading over.

Some reviews are a bit dated, so it could be quieter than it used to be, and you might wonder if the buzz has faded lately.

Excellent value for money.
Really reasonable prices for the drinks and bar snacks (crisps, nuts etc). Pool table, dart board, selection of board games, jukebox, quiz machine and an excellent bowling green.
A great pub, friendly regulars and staff.
Not my kind of pub and I wouldn't personally choose to go there but I do bowl on the bowling green which is really nice. The people are lovely and it is a great atmosphere when bowling
Great old style traditional pub, have good real ales, friendly staff and customers, not tried food. Feel very chilled & welcome. Bonus can take my dog in.
