Accidental Brewery and Micropub

Verified
4.9(121 reviews)
96/100
Accidental Brewery and Micropub is a cracking little spot in Lancaster, serving up top-notch craft beers in a cosy, welcoming setting – though watch out for those higher prices and occasional limits on selection.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beers are absolutely cracking, with a fantastic selection of craft brews from local favourites like Marble and Clearwater – perfect for a real ale enthusiast.
  • Staff are super friendly and always keen to chat about the beers, sharing their knowledge and making you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices can be a bit steep, which might put a dent in your wallet if you're planning a longer session.
  • The beer selection isn't always as varied as you'd hope – sometimes no cask ales on offer, which could disappoint traditionalists.

The Wobbly Cobbler is a charming little pub in Lancaster that's all about great beers, friendly vibes, and a real sense of community – a top spot for a relaxed catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic range of local cask and keg ales that really hit the spot – I heard the Turkish delight stout is a must-try!
  • The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable; they make you feel right at home, like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
Areas for Improvement
  • Opening hours can be a bit limited, especially with closures on Mondays and Tuesdays – might catch you out if you're planning a mid-week pint.
  • It gets quite busy on Friday evenings, so you might have to queue or find it a tad crowded if you're not an early bird.

The Three Mariners, Lancaster

Verified
4.6(1140 reviews)
92/100
The Three Mariners is a cosy historic gem in Lancaster, serving up cracking ales and homemade grub with a friendly atmosphere, though it does have its moments with waits and the odd service slip-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got that wonderful historic charm, being the oldest pub in Lancaster and set in a Grade II listed building from the 15th century – makes you feel like you're stepping back in time.
  • The selection of ales is top-notch, especially from Robinsons Brewery, and it's often praised for its excellent beers and craft options.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food can sometimes arrive just warm rather than piping hot, and there might be discrepancies between what's on the menu and what shows up, like that steak pie not being a proper shortcrust case.
  • Wait times for food can be a bit lengthy, especially if the place is buzzing and tables are reserved, which might put you off if you're in a rush.

92/100
The Toll House Inn is a welcoming spot in Lancaster with cracking food and service, though it has a few niggles like compact rooms and occasional busyness.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and always ready to help, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in
  • The food is a real highlight – think delicious, home-cooked dishes made with fresh, local ingredients, and that breakfast, especially the Eggs Benedict, is an absolute winner
Areas for Improvement
  • Rooms can feel a bit cramped, and not being able to open the windows might leave you wishing for a bit more fresh air
  • Service can hit snags when it's busy, like if there's a party on and they can't squeeze in another table, which is a shame if you're hoping for a spontaneous meal

Tipple is a charming boutique cocktail bar in Lancaster that's all about cracking drinks, warm vibes, and fun events, though it's best suited for those after something a bit more refined than a classic pub crawl.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktails are simply brilliant – hand-crafted with loads of delicious flavours, making it easy to find your perfect tipple.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always going the extra mile with chatty service and even offering advice or a cheeky free sample like homemade limoncello.
Areas for Improvement
  • On occasion, the facilities like the toilets can be a bit unkempt, which might put a slight dampener on things.
  • It's very much a cocktail-focused spot, so if you're in the mood for traditional beers or hearty pub grub, it might not quite hit the mark.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – they've got a huge range of craft beers on tap, including local favourites like Lancaster Red, which is perfect for a refreshing pint while waiting for your train.
  • It's got such a charming, historic vibe being right in the heart of Lancaster's railway station; you can soak up that old-school atmosphere and even do a bit of trainspotting with a drink in hand.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a tad noisy with the trains coming and going, which might make it tricky for a quiet chat if you're after a peaceful evening.
  • The hours are limited, closing at 10pm every day, so if you're hoping for a late-night session, you might find yourself heading off a bit earlier than planned.

  • Staff are generally friendly and welcoming, adding to the cosy feel, and they've got a great selection of drinks at reasonable prices.
Areas for Improvement
  • There can be occasional run-ins with staff over things like ID checks, which might leave you feeling a bit put out if you're not in the right mood.
  • Based on some feedback, service isn't always spot on, with rare instances of unhelpful behaviour that could spoil an otherwise good night.

The Wagon & Horses is a delightful historic pub in Lancaster, offering a welcoming atmosphere by the river, cracking food, and cosy rooms – it's a gem for a relaxed get-together or a quick overnight stay.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The location right by the River Lune is absolutely stunning – it's a peaceful spot for a pint or a meal, just a short stroll from Lancaster city centre.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming; they've got that warm, chatty vibe that makes you feel right at home, whether you're popping in for a drink or staying overnight.
Areas for Improvement
  • Breakfast times can be a bit restrictive, which might not suit everyone, especially if you're on a tight schedule for work or early outings.
  • Some menu items, like certain dishes, might turn out spicier than expected without it being clearly noted, which could disappoint if you're not a fan of heat.

Ring O' Bells is a charming traditional pub in Lancaster, with a fabulous beer garden and a welcoming atmosphere that's ideal for a laid-back drink with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer garden is an absolute standout – it's spacious, lovely, and often hailed as the best in Lancaster for a relaxing pint on a sunny day.
  • It's a proper traditional pub with a warm, friendly vibe that hasn't been overly modernised, making it feel like a real local gem.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's cash only, which can be a bit of a nuisance if you're out and about without any notes or coins.
  • The beer selection is on the small side, so if you're after a wide variety, you might be disappointed.

Visited The Brown Cow on Saturday night and had a really disappointing experience with the bouncer. My friend presented a valid, government-issued ID, but was wrongly accused of it being fake — and sh...

The bouncer who was on the door sat 31st May needs to find a new profession. Doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing, snapped an ID (which was not a fake what so ever) and the excuse was that “real” IDs d...

Nice pub with friendly staff. Drinks prices were fine. Could do with a refurb though & only one toilet was working so there was a queue.

  • Some quirky issues, like that light-hearted comment about the toilets, show it's not perfect, though it's probably just a bit of fun.

The Crafty Scholar in Lancaster is a cracking pub for a casual get-together, with a friendly buzz and top spots for sports fans, though it's worth keeping an eye on the food to avoid any surprises.
Pros and Cons

The Sir Richard Owen is a reliable Wetherspoon spot in Lancaster, offering brilliant value on drinks and food in a clean, welcoming setting that's ideal for a laid-back get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The prices are an absolute bargain – like getting a locally brewed cask ale for just £1.79, which feels like a real treat without breaking the bank.
  • The staff are always so friendly and efficient, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a chain pub, so it might not have that unique local character you'd find in some independent spots around Lancaster.
  • While it's decent, there are plenty of other good options in the area, so it doesn't always stand out, especially if you're after something a bit more special at midday.

  • The food is spot on; it's varied, delicious, and offers great value for money, especially for a special occasion like an anniversary.
Areas for Improvement

Greens Lancaster is a welcoming sports bar with a lively feel and tasty grub, but it's let down by patchy service and the odd pricey pint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is spot on, with a great vibe that makes it a solid go-to for a relaxed pint or watching the game.
  • They've got some cracking deals on drinks, and it's generally budget-friendly, which is always a win for a night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be hit or miss, with some reports of rude or standoffish bar staff that put a dampener on the evening.
  • It's a bit pricey compared to other spots in town, which might not sit well if you're watching the pennies.

74/100
The Staggered Inn is a friendly spot in Lancaster for a good quiz night or budget-friendly brunch, with warm service and decent grub, but it has its off moments with events and vibes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and make you feel right at home – they're always up for a chat and go the extra mile.
  • The pub quiz is a real highlight when it's on form; it's loads of fun and they've even got free food in the break, which is a nice touch.
Areas for Improvement
  • The quiz has taken a bit of a dip since the original host left; it's not as engaging now, and there are rumours of unfair wins that can kill the vibe.
  • The atmosphere isn't always buzzing – sometimes it feels a tad quiet, even with great music, which might leave you wanting more energy.

The Yorkshire House in Lancaster is a cosy pub that's flying high with a perfect rating, but it's got that new-kid-on-the-block feel with very little buzz around it just yet.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got a sparkling 5-star rating from the only review we've got, which suggests someone had a top-notch experience here.
  • The owner has claimed the business, which makes me think they're on top of things and care about the place.
Areas for Improvement
  • With just the one review, it's a bit of a mystery – hard to get a full picture of what it's really like.
  • The operating status says it's closed, which is a shame, and without any hours listed, it's tricky to plan a visit.
