Black Bull Inn in Blackburn with Darwen

Fantastic family run pub. Great selection of real ales. Great atmosphere, a place where you can enjoy time with family or friends and socialise. Great outdoor beer garden area which is fantastic on a sunny warm day. Lovely staff, great beer!

This really is a unique place. Worth a visit and if you're driving past you shuld drop in. I expect with the new houses being built in the area, this place will be very quickly full to the brim. Great service and thanks for a wonderful afternoon.!

Booked here under the new “regime” in compliance with COVID safety restrictions. First visit for 4 months and have to say, Wendy, Rob and the team have worked wonders in transforming the place to comply with the new safety rules. They’ve managed to maintain its friendly, welcoming “real English pub” atmosphere in what continue to be difficult times for pubs. New tables, new bar, new decor and clear, simple procedures to ensure compliance felt strange initially but we soon got used to this and really enjoyed ourselves. What hasn’t changed (fortunately) is the ale! That first pint of draft ale never tasted so good. Def recommend the “Old Bee”. Ok so booking to go to the pub will be strange for a while, but given the monumental effort the BB team have made to re-open in what will be difficult times for months to come yet, it’s a small price to pay.

Went recently on a long walk. The inside is quite dark but cool on a hot day. We enjoyed the beer, lager and cider. The 3 taster beer glasses were great. There is a beer garden outside

If you like real ale, then 3Bees Brewery pub The Black Bull will go down a treat. Traditional real ale brewed 20 yards away from the bar so you can't get fresher than that.

A nice traditional pub, lovely views, nice beer, polite and attentive staff. Beer prices are Bob on.

My wife and I went to the annual beer festival over the weekend, wow what a fantastic couple of days we had. The place was buzzing with guest beers and ciders as well as their own fantastic range of ales. The barstaff as usual were very friendly even though they were being bombarded by thirsty customers. This is a traditional pub where the art of conversation still thrives. No tv, no jukebox, no bandits or games machines. This is a very highly reccomended place to visit.

Always a good night in this place,nice little pub with decent folk that drink there !.....wish they would consider putting a bit of good old fashioned pub grub . Gets busy on a Sat night ,friendly bar staff and excellent location ....out of the way of the idiots

local beer at very reasonable prices, always enough staff on so your not waiting ages even though there's always a lot in, a very good selection of beers

Country pub with on site brewery and great selection of beers. Good atmosphere with no loud music or TV. Fantastic prices as well...and that is on the cheap side.

Fab pub, no music, no food, fabulous craft beers, comfy decor. Lovely friendly family vibe. Dogs allowed

I've enjoyed the offerings of the three b's brewery for some time now, and with a large variety of ales always on offer i have always enjoyed visiting this pub when the opportunity arises. Super friendly and helpful staff, cosy furnishings with a roaring fire, and an ale/beer/beverage to suit every palate! I look forward to my next visit :)

went for a walk and had there own made beer sat in the garden outside was lovely, Its dog friendly long as they behave, Shame they don't serve food however its busy anyway with friendly locals and walkers

As our children all live in different parts of UK. The They come home to see us often. The Black Bull is fab for real ale. Real coal fire and real local friendly atmosphere.

This is the best pub in Blackburn by a country mile. I'm biased because I'm local. I'd love to visit more often but when I do the beers brewed by the pub are fantastic. My favourites are Doff Cocker, Bobbins, Shuttle Ale and Weavers.

If you've ever enjoyed Three Bs ale from bottles go here and try the real thing. There are eight handpumps on the bar serving beer from the adjacent brewery plus a couple of guests. I haven't tried all of the beers yet but the Black Bull bitter is my favourite so far. They do beer paddles so you can taste a third of a pinbt of three beers. There's no food apart from crisps, nuts etc. The atmosphere is quietly convivial and the friendly owners and staff clearly have great pride in their pub.

Fantastic cask ale brewed on the premises. A warm welcome , not just from the wood burner and log fire, but all the staff as well. A truly friendly place to go .

Fantastic range of cask beers brewed on site at a very reasonable price .a family run pub with Robert and his son doing the brewing in a newly built brewhouse attached at the rear of the pub .A large investment on their part which shows their commitment to brewing.TRULY A MECCA FOR CASK BEER LOVERS

Ubicada a la salida de Darwen subiendo en la torre con la intención de llegar a Tockholes por una pinta un sandwich. Llegamos a 1:45 con el pub diciendo que no comida hasta las 2 de la tarde sólo para encontrar la cocina cerrada y bastante maleducado explicación de por qué no podíamos comer. No es el peor desastre a suceder jamás tres tíos caminando, pero sin embargo algo de comer hubiera sido mejor. Nos nos consolamos con el consumo de cerveza 3,9 de la cervecería excepcional en Bury. La cerveza era excelente y el pub está bien cuidado, acogedor y nada pretencioso. Nos sentamos en el cálido sol abril pero por dentro me sentí igualmente acogedor también con una chimenea. Puedo recomendar la cerveza y el ambiente, me gustaría volver algún día a probar la comida.

This pub is utterly brilliant. Tap to the Three B's Brewery, had eight of its own beers on when we called in. Managed to try six of them. All were perfectly kept and extremely good; three were exceptional: Easter Gold (a seasonal); Stoker's Slake (a dark mild); and Doff Cocker. Prices are tremendous value; the house beer, Black Bull Bitter, verging on the ridiculously cheap at £2.30.No food sold, but when dropped in at lunchtime were immediately directed towards a table with free breads, cheese and pickled onions. The beer bread from All U Knead was stunningly good.Such a great pub there was no decision to make as to where we'd go back to in the evening.

We was on Holiday from Australia in June staying with family at the bottom of heys lane area, we walked to the Black Bull & i can only say it was fantastic. the pub was full of regulars & the quality of Beer was 1st class also a greats election of beers. i asked a lady at the bar if it was possible to have a tour of the Micro Brewery & the owner took me round the place. i left 2/3 of a pint on the table outside with my wife & some 45 mins later when i went back the head on the pint was still excellent. so well don to the owners & Staff at the Black Bull or some call it the 3B's either way an excellent time was shad by us both.Arthur QuinnMelbourneVictoria Australia

The Black Bull doesnt sell food, it does however sell the best beer around. The Three B's Brewery which is based on site produces some of the best beer around. The pub also sells usual lager etc but specialises in its own brews. You can buy a special tasting tray which is made up of three taster beers, half pint glasses. The atmosphere in the pub is very homely and welcoming, with wood burners. There is an outside seating area, the views from here are also worth seeing. :Lovely place.

Visited the Black Bull near Darwen Lancashire recently. The Three B's Brewery is based here. Rob and Wendy Bell are the delightful owners. We enjoyed our visit so much we went back for the three nights we were there. The quality and range of beer is fabulous. We sat and chatted to Rob and Wendy all night,Rob's knowledge of brewing and its history was an education.We cannot recomend a visit here highly enough. The atmosphere, the beer and the people make this a proper English pub. Do not go to Lancashire without a visit to the Black Bull Tockholes. What a lovely place.MIke, Jon & JimmyPurestrike Golf
