The Blackburn Times

Ah, The Blackburn Times – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local in Blackburn, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this warm, old-fashioned vibe that's perfect if you're after a relaxed spot to catch some sports or just unwind with a pint. The staff really stand out; they're friendly and on the ball with quick service, and the prices are a treat – inexpensive enough that you can enjoy a few without worrying about the wallet. Plus, there's that community spirit with loyal folks and a top-notch landlady, which makes it feel like a second home. On the flip side, though, the beer options are a tad limited, mostly sticking to mild ales without much variety for those who like to mix it up. And if it's a quiet night, they might call it early, which could be a bit of a downer if you're in the mood for a longer evening. Overall, it's a solid choice for a straightforward, no-fuss pub experience, especially if you're local or just passing through – I'd say give it a go if you're after good value and a friendly chat, but keep in mind it might not have the broadest selection on offer.
