About This Pub

Ah, Sam's Bar – it's one of those local haunts in Blackburn that you hear about from folks who've popped in for a pint. From what I've gathered, the staff are absolute gems, always up for a chat and making you feel right at ease, while the atmosphere buzzes with energy, particularly during those karaoke evenings that sound like a right laugh. It's open every day from midday till late, which is perfect if you're after a reliable spot for a casual get-together. On the flip side, a few mates have mentioned that some drinks feel a tad steep compared to the pub just around the corner, and it's a shame about the gents' toilets needing a good sort-out – nobody wants that interrupting their evening. All in all, it's a decent choice for a night out if you're in the area, but it'd be even better with a bit more attention to those niggles. Worth giving it a go if you're up for some friendly banter and tunes, just go in with an open mind.

  • Drinks are generally reasonably priced, offering good value for a relaxed night out.
  • The place is often kept clean and welcoming, which adds to the overall enjoyment.
Cons
  • Some drinks come across as overpriced compared to nearby spots, which might put a dampener on things.
  • The gents' toilets could use a proper clean-up; it's a bit off-putting when they're not up to scratch.
  • Recent feedback suggests the vibe might have dipped a little, so it could feel less lively these days.

Can't believe it. A bottle of resolution costs more than a pint in the postal order around the corner. Does the landlord want customers or not! Oh and the toilet wall tiles need a serious clean in the gents toilets, at the very least.
