About This Pub

Ah, The Pub in Lancaster – it's one of those spots that just hits the mark for a great night out, doesn't it? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the live music is an absolute highlight; bands like the 5th Element really bring the energy and make the place buzz with excitement. The staff are spot on, always friendly and on hand to sort things out, which makes you feel like you're among pals rather than just another face in the crowd. You've got a solid range of drinks at prices that won't break the bank, and the atmosphere is spot-on with its rock and metal leanings, plus fun extras like the pool table and a big beer garden for when you fancy a breather. It's all wrapped up in some quirky decor that adds a nice touch of personality. On the flip side, service can drag a bit when it's busy, probably due to the odd tech glitch or high demand, and it's a shame there's no website to quickly check the lowdown. Still, overall, it's a top choice if you're after a balanced spot for good times – honest, it's got that warm, welcoming feel that keeps you coming back for more.

Stumbled across an absolute gem on way back to Carlisle... decided to get off at Lancaster for a change/pit stop. What a pub!!! Rock, metal, good vibes, pool table, good drink and decent priced! Coming back. 100%.

I recently had the pleasure of playing drums for a band at The Pub in Lancaster, I can’t thank the staff enough for making the night such a great experience. The team was professional, friendly, and made everything run smoothly, from helping us set up to ensuring the night was enjoyable for everyone. The venue itself is clean, well-maintained, and has a welcoming atmosphere – perfect for live music. It’s so important to support local bands and independent venues like this one. They’re the heart of the live music scene, and without them, nights like ours wouldn’t be possible. If you’re in Lancaster, definitely stop by for a gig or a pint and keep the local scene alive.

A really cool music pub with a large beer garden and live music - handy for Lancaster station. Drink selection is varied, the Guinness was good and there are some great old posters on the wall. Service was friendly but somewhat slow (though due to the speed of the WiFi more than anything).

Such a great pub. The beer selection is excellent and the staff and vibe is friendly. The music via a jukebox is great and there are lots of interesting items adorning the walls and ceiling. To have the pool table lit by drum lights, shows the attention to detail in this pub. It's clearly a music-head pub, but the team have taken the time to create a clean and stylish environment, whilst keeping that music lover integrity.
