Black Horse in Preston

Superb characteristics Pub Super selection of well kept cask ales on

Ace, what can I say amazing pub love all the different rooms bar great lots of different beers 🍻 give it a go

Saturday 10th may 2025 This pub is not only a historical gem Great small rooms and great horshoe shape bar The beers on 8 handpumped real ales and 2 real ciders were very interesting beers The bar staff were really good and knew how to pull a good pint The locals were really friendly Good background music also A must visit for real ales when in preston

Lonely place. Highly recommended.

What a fantastic pub. Three street entrances make it unique, but the many decent well kept ales make it special. On a day out to Preston, this is a MUST!

A fantastic old style traditional pub - highly recommended

Great selection of beers and fantastic bar.

First Class traditional pub with well kept real ale and an un-spoiled pre First World War interior

Never tried the food, but everything else is perfect, a must visit place!!!

Great selection of ales. Proper traditional old style pub.

Great pub, one of only 24 in the country with original old tiles on, the best Guiness I've ever tasted served right, jukebox is brilliant. If visiting Preston you have to go for a drink.. Don't do food so just bare that in mind of going

Best pub in Preston IMHO. One of the last classic boozers but with cracking ales and bags of atmosphere.

Iconic pub with amazing interior

Fantastic pub with lots of rooms, ales and pork pies! Did I mention the pork pies? Just the eight different types! Delicious!

Great beer, great beer, great beer, ooh and a nice historic place too

Excellent beers in an impressive building. Recommended

Wow, what a pub, very traditional and loads of real ale.

Great pub fantastic atmosphere great range of drinks.

Best pub in the country. Nothing more to add.

A lovely friendly pub with a great choice of ales. Bar staff were helpful and you can tell they enjoy their job and the old Tom was delicious

Excellent pub, deservedly a CAMRA favourite. Robinson's excellent ale, plus lots of interesting guests.

Stunning place, quality products, personally I think it is expensive.

Best pub I've been to in Preston! The gorgeous original interior has to be seen to be believed.

Great beer great friendly staff

Fantastic pub !! Been a few times when my team play Preston

Beautiful pub. Lovely people. Pints were expensive

Didn't eat but the beers and real fires was immense. Great venue worth a visit 😉

An original pub , old style, nice old fashioned feel

Unique and definitely worth a visit.

This is the best real ale pub in Preston and possibly the country . The staff are great and the range of beers and the Deco is amazing.

Always go there when I'm in Preston

Oldest pub in Preston. Only pub in England with exits on 3 streets. Very traditional snug pub. Very good ale choices.

What an excellent pub. Great choice of Ales. They do really nice pork pies. Very busy.

Remains my favourite pub anywhere. Great beer, great choice and a good old fashioned bar as it should be. Only pub in the country with 3 doors on 3 different streets. Don't pass by without stopping for a drink.

Quiet Wednesday, but beer was spot on.

Nice quiet atmosphere at this time.

Very busy as usual. Loads of choices of real ale. A little pricy though at £4.40 a pint.

Still one of the best pubs in Preston, highly recommend!

excellent old fashion pub for cask ales

A great old proper pub, everything about the black horse is authentic and full of character and characters. The barman (sporting a fantastic mullet) is a great fella and always full of banter. **Great choice of rums!!! 😉👌🏻

Wonderful building outside and in. Circular bar serving plenty of cask ales and cider. Nice snug areas to enjoy your drinks. Very popular for good reasons.

Always enjoy a visit to the Black Horse. Quick one this time - just off a train and onto a bus! Superb range of ale, kept well, served quickly and a lovely atmosphere. No complaints!

Old grade 2 pub with tiled floor and walls. Original rooms, bar and hotel entrance. Great friendly staff and atmosphere with good selection of beers

Very special proper old pub - oodles of historic charm, excellent ales, cosy snugs and friendly service👍👍👍

Real ale pub untouched architecture

great beer, proper old feel to the pub - not changed in years!

Excellent staff and a great selection of beers

Great pub for character and friendly staff. Wide range of guest ales, only couple of robinson ales. Guest ale was OK, preferred the dizzy blonde.

Nice historic pub with friendly staff.

Wicked lil pub always a pleasure

Unique building, lovely staff and great beer.

3 entrances, 2 floors, great range of ales. Some great drinking nooks and long bar. Always great service

Lovely place, full of character and atmosphere to go with it. Gets busy, so usually have to hang around if you want a seat. Plenty of space to stand if needed.

Best pub in Preston. I've been going here for about 8 years now and they always have a great selection of ale and the first place I ever knew in the area that sold Veltins on tap!

Proper old school pub, great selection of beers and ciders. With some wonderful places to sit.

A pub full of character but expensive. Over £12 for 2 pints of Guinness

Old traditional pub which I like

Proper historical boozers pub good selection of ales has an up stairs for an open mic night

Great friendly service, good beer.

Fantastic historic old pub. A variety of old rooms to sit in. Interesting decor and fittings all well preserved. Huge selection of ales. Friendly atmosphere. It's just how pubs are meant to be! Did not try the food.

Probably the best pub in Preston!

Proper English Boozer, a bit dated but lovely and clean, a blast from the past but great to see.

Titanic Plum porter was on form

Worst pint of Guinness I've found in preston and no wonder at 6.30 a pint nobody will be drinking it

Great real ale pub with a fabulous tiled bar

The setting is magnificent, the beers really good. The server is friendly and the customers even more so.

what a great proper pub this is, loads of choice. Preston's little Mecca for food beer

Great selection of well kept beers, welcoming good service

I am not usually a fan of Robinson’s pubs but the Black Horse is the exception that proves the rule. It’s a beautiful ‘arts and crafts’ style with an outstanding range of non-Robinson’s beers. I plumped for a Lancaster Brewery offering that was tasty and well kept. Also of note is there’s an upstairs which, when we were there, had over 17 different ciders on. Great pub.

A well kept historic pub. Cask and a reasonable selection so long as you like Robinsons.

Amazing traditional snug pub with real ales on tap, beautiful tiled bar and mosaic floor. Great music.

I had to visit this pub on a quick visit to Preston. It looks gorgeous both inside and out, being such a historical gem. And it's a real ale pub too. On top of that, the barman and customers were warm and chatty.

Nice pub, love the mosaic tile effect running through. Drinks are quite expensive

Great building and interior, good choice of beer available and great atmosphere in the evenings on weekend. I have been in this pub on all my visits to Preston over the past few years and always look forward to popping in

Nice, historic, pub with good beer.

Good pub, with awards, but the bar staff today was a young ignorant lad whom did not have any manners or clean hands, barred a seemingly pleasant lad at the orders of the landlord, without the land lord explaining or doing it himself, or explaining to the staff why.

Great traditional pub, good ale and a listed building with original Victorian tiled bar

Excellent pub, great choice of cask beers

Nice old school pub, real ales and ciders. And an open coal fire.

Best pub in Preston, drop in for a pint and soak up the atmos

Nice pub but £6 for a pint of the black stuff... really!!!

Best pub in Preston Town centre

One of THE most beautiful pubs in Preston with a beer lineup to match now Robinson's have let the staff put guests on alongside their own ale.

Wonderful old pub, great selection of beers ciders and ales. Prices were a bit steep compared to others in the area, but it's such a lovely place, it makes up for it. Staff were super, even when it was very busy.

Nice pub and interior but beer at £4.50 a pint is getting silly. Also the pint pulled was way under measure and I had to ask to have it topped otherwise that’s about 50p extra profit. Not good really

First time in a pub for 30 years took my visitors from Spain some great characters in there and the decor was authentic

Didn't try food, service was good, it was clean, atmosphere was good

A CAMRA Good beer guide entry. A Robinson's outlet with guest ales is a very rare find. Four Robbies (incl Old Tom winter ale at 8.5%..years ago it was only sold in 1/3 pint glasses..because one pint got you drunk!) plus five guest ales and a real cider. Jorvic had a pint of Lakeland Gold at 4.4% from Lakeland. Madge however did not like any of the lagers and had a Pepsi. Lovely pub, super architecture. Four downstairs rooms plus upstair function room. Mixed clientel.

Beer very good but expensive compared with many other pubs

Proper old pub with great choice of beers. The staff certainly know their stuff. A wonderful session to be had

Definitely one of Prestons better pubs, good music due to the jukebox. Good Range of Beers and Ale's.

We had an excellent experience whilst visiting this pub in the city centre. The service is attentive and the original decoration is still gorgeous for a pub of this age.

An amazing listed historic classic hostelry

Perfect as always! Met up with a friend and ales well kept and toilets clean

A VERY GOOD RANGE OF BEERS AND PIE. SOMEDAY IF VEGGIE AND VEGAN PIES WERE AVAILABLE THAT MAY BE EVEN MORE REASON TO REVISIT BUT UNTIL THEN, THE PIE AND BEVERAGES ARE GREAT. 🔮 BECCA AND BETH DO AMAZINGLY AT KEEPING THIS PUB A SAFE, FRIENDLY AND ENJOYABLE PLACE TO BE.

Fun and quirky, historic pub. Two floors with a great selection on tap for each.

Fab staff and even better real ales.....Easily the best real ale pub with traditional fixture and fittings.. Such a wonderful pub. When in Preston, Lancashire and you fancy a thirst quenching pint then this is a must visit pub.
