About This Pub
Ah, Bees Knees in Burnley – it's one of those places that I've heard mixed things about from mates who've popped in. On the upside, they've got a decent range of drinks, from cocktails to beers, and the prices don't sting too much, which is always a win when you're out for a casual evening. The spot can get quite lively, especially on Saturdays, with an upstairs area and even a pool table to keep things entertaining – it's got that community feel where all sorts turn up. But, honestly, it's not all rosy; some have had a rough time with service that's slow or unhelpful, and the toilets are a common complaint, often in a right state with flooding and mess that makes you wish you'd gone elsewhere. Plus, it can feel a bit neglected, like it's not getting the upkeep it needs, and those flat beers at high prices? Ouch, that stings a bit. All in all, if you're up for a gamble and it's a good night, it could be a laugh, but I'd say go in with your eyes open and maybe check it out on a busier evening to get the best of it.

-
The atmosphere can be lively on busy nights, with an upstairs area, outdoor space for a breather, and even a pool table for some entertainment.
Cons
-
The service can be hit or miss – some folks have mentioned it's slow or a bit rude, which puts a damper on things.
-
The facilities, like the toilets, often get described as pretty grim, with reports of mess and flooding that could turn anyone off.
-
It's a bit neglected in places, feeling sticky and sweaty, and prices for drinks like flat beers can seem extortionate at times.

disgusting, sticky sweaty mess and that doesnt cover the half of it. poor service regarding time and conversation skills, extortionate prices for flat beers, and the facilities. - well they speak for themselves. i like the bees franchise, but their burnley venue is highly neglected. a sunday night does not warrant the state of the bathrooms, and ive been told the gents are worse. please look after all your venues so the bees pubs can be throughly enjoyed across all locations
Came here last week and don’t have much to say to be honest! If I could give 1 star I would…Took me 15 minutes to get a drink after complaining twice, workers were so rude and unbothered about my complaints! Also, I can’t even go into detail about the toilets and just the floor in general, state. Avoid like the plague.
Not bad priced but full of ignorant young people. Toilets were disgusting with water flooding all the floor, broken glasses everywhere toilet roll thrown everywhere and sinks the same! Told the staff how bad they were but they didnt go check or anything!
First time I've been in here for a while (probably wasn't called the Bee's knees last time).... enjoyed it.
Good choice of drinks, reasonable prices, decent service (except for them insisting on putting the ice in my gin after the gin....which they corrected when I asked for my next drink).
Good choice of music, and friendly staff on the door.
Saturday night really busy all ages in. There an upstairs aswell where main toilets are and outside area for smoking and a pool table. We got a skull for a friend's birthday not for the faint hearted to much whisky in for me but yeah wen in twice sat was good. Go in Sunday and it's a big difference.
