Bird in th’hand in Blackburn with Darwen

Love coming here and sitting out in the sun. Great location! Love the rhubarb cider and tried the cherry beer this week and that was lush too, definitely felt it being 8%. Thankyou for our visits.

Brilliant boozer. Lovely staff, great beer, and John is a stellar landlord.

First time in Darwen for a while. A fine bar, superb pint and welcome.

Nice beer selection but both miserable people behind the bar 👍🏻 service with a smile?

Great beers, great service, great regulars...what's not to like..??

Excellent range of British and European beers . Landlord has an extensive knowledge of what he sells . Some locals need keeping an eye on . Head barman can be grumpy .

Great selection of beers available

Quality little boozer always a friendly welcome good real ales. Can't fault it in any way 10stars

Brilliant little ale bar. Lovely rhubarb cider. Staff great and friendly.

Great little bar with some amazing craft beers and ciders

One of my most favourite places. Great choose of special beers and ciders! Great, friendly atmosphere too.

Top bar offering real ales, ciders and lagers. Huge selection to choose from and a nice cosy atmosphere. Good for a quiet pint or 6 with the mates.

Had a great night, the beer was good, dartboard and guitars!

Award winning pub serving both in-house and other craft ales and ciders. Along with a huge selection of imported and locally bottled beers and ciders. The ideal place to meet up with friends in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Why not call in, pick up a few bottles for your Xmas drink and try one or two of the potent drinks while you are there? The pub is pet friendly, if you are supposed to be walking the dog... And the pooch needs a break.

Great selection of ales and ciders. Very accommodating place.

Great atmosphere, amazing choice of craft beers and real ales bottles and cans from far and wide.

Nice place with a load of craft beer choices and great atmosphere

Cracking bar that I stumbled across - there was a room through the back with an older guy playing the guitar and singing. Loads of beers to choose from as well! Just watch the stairs as they are pretty steep going to the toilets

Love this place John (the owner) has cracked it. Fantastic drinks selection and fab atmosphere

It's a lovely friendly place with a wide selection of beers and ciders

Fantastic Bar with a fantastic selection of Beers & Lagers

My first visit, great atmosphere, bar staff and other drinkers very friendly. The rhubarb and raspberry ciders are excellent. I will be going back once I've recovered.

Visited first time lovely staff lovely people and a nice CE choice of drink.

Great atmosphere and beers. Made for a great random non planned night

Good little micro pub with brewery in cellar

Great ambient friendly atmosphere with great hosts and excellent entertainment variety.

Great range of Beers, Ales and Ciders. Usually struggle to walk out this place feeling very refreshed.

Great selection of new and old style IPA's, proper ciders and rum from around the world. Not a carling or strongbow pump in sight and all the better for it! Ended up finishing on a 10%er before wobbling up the big hill. Awesome.

Large choice of quality beers in a friendly bar.

Wow.. loads of choice . Friendly atmosphere

Very friendly place and plenty of choice of drink

Barmaids nice, but more interested in talking to themselves rather than the customers! Lol

Fantastic choice of ales. Had a carry out of continental dark ales. Looking forward to supping them.

Nice friendly place with good ales and largers 👍👍

Smashing place if you like decent beer, warm fires and conversation! Outstanding selection of canned gems at good prices in a cosy setting

Get draft beers and superb environment

Always a good time and always good beer

Very friendly, great selection drinks

What a selection of beers. Popped in with the wife once and went in last Saturday with pops for one of my favourite Belgian beers. Awesome if you fancy something different for a change and also now has outdoor seating and a rear enclosed beer garden area for basking in the sunshine, or nipping out for a smoke :)

Just sitting outside seen no form of social distancing nor mask wearing, the owner does seem relatively nice though so could be more customer criticism than owner related (he does have a sign on the door) it is impressive to see how well this business is doing given that it is relatively new, the painting of the man and crow are also really nice and painted by local people so that's a plus!! As per your reply, google asks you a few days later what this business was like not at the exact point you are there!

Nice relaxing place to converse, enjoyed. 😁

Good pub with good real ale but has a grumpy bar maid.

Excellent place, huge selection of guest beers and beers from the shop.

Good range of unusual beers and ciders

A jewel in the crown of Darwen drinking establishments, no compromise here to provide a friendly service. the choice of drink seems endless. a great place to meet and take friends for their first experience. Not to be missed.

Excellent place, huge stock of beers and takeaway service at the bar.

Best pub in Darwen! Chilled out atmosphere, great music in the background, friendly staff and excellent beers, what's not to like?!

Great selection of draught beers and bottles

This bar is one of the best in Darwen, if your after amazing craft beers this is the place to go.

This is a really friendly local bar. Lots of lagers, beers and wines to choose from. It's guaranteed someone will strike up a conversation if you want to chat.

Brilliant place with a great choice of craft beers and cider

Grate place to drink with grate customers 😁😁😁

Fantastic bar with a very good beer.

Great little bar with a fantastic choice of drinks

Great beer selection. Place itself is a bit rough and ready like it's being renovated and only half completed

Excellent real ale choice and European lagers extraordinaire.

A great addition to Darwen's bar scene with a great selection of amazing Belgium ales and local ales on draught, Its been converted from The Wine Shop it was previously but it dates back to the mid 1800's as an old beer house. We always make a visit for at least one drink on a weekend. They also offer some nice gift sets too, the staff are very friendly and helpful. I can't recommend enough.

Great selection of craft beers, Real Ale & Euro beers on tap. Very friendly staff Bottles available for takeout although not chilled. Friendly group of customers.
