About This Pub
You know, chatting about Smacks in Burnley with mates, it's clear this place has a lot going for it – think reasonably priced drinks and cocktails that won't break the bank, paired with music that's spot on for a proper dance. The vibe is just right for a late-night sesh, and the staff are absolute stars; they've even sorted out lost items for folks, which makes you feel looked after. On the flip side, it's a bit of a shame it's only open on Sundays from what I can tell, so you might have to plan around that if you're keen for a visit. And while it's centrally located, those stairs and floors can be a proper hassle to navigate, especially after one too many – just something to keep in mind so you don't end up in a muddle. Overall, it's a solid choice for a fun night, but with a few quirks that keep it from being perfect.

The entry situation seems a bit unclear from what I've heard, with wristbands and potential fees that could put some off.

Really lovely little bar, nice drink deals, plenty of cocktails and Really good music!
Visited for the first time on Saturday night. Was told by the door staff if we went in and purchased a drink we could get a wrist band and re-enter later without paying. (No idea how much the entry fee is though).
Located well in the centre. Navigation of the stairs and floors was a task after a few sherberts though. In my opinion, the music was terrible most of the night but the bar service was quick.
Always a great night in smacks. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Lost my wallet in here on Saturday. Bar staff contacted me to let me know they found it. Got in back a few days later with all my cards and money still in it!
Went to Smacks last week for the first time in years after a works party. Everyone was in good spirits and it's probably one of the only late night places that isn't full of nutcases haha. I left my denim jacket there and inside the pocket was a really sentimental necklace. I rang them a week later and they had kept it to one side for me, necklace in the pocket and I was so happy. Thank you for looking after my belongings and also for a fab night 😊
Really good bar to go for a night out. Lots of different music. You can dance the night away. Good priced drinks and cocktails.
I left my coat and phone there after one to many sherbets. They were excellent in responding to me, to say they would look into it. My things were found and I was able to collect them the next day!. Great, professional staff..saved me a lot of hassle
Thank you :)
