Stanley Arms in Preston

Great place to have a pint and a laugh. Everyone there is so welcoming and the pub manager is awesome. Would definitely recommend if you are in town and fancy bev

Amazing refurb and friendly staff

Love the refurbishment, had a great time yesterday before going to the fire garden in the park. Cocktail £10 for 2 were very professionally made and were the best I've ever had. Lovely staff, warm and welcoming. Great atmosphere and definitely one of my favourite pubs in Preston now 👍😁

Reopened venue with a quirky interior great range of draught and spirits at a fair price happy hour prices until 5pm so a good place for an afternoon tipple which looks like its going to be a busy place with the locals shoppers.Evening the lighting changes to give it a more chic look with weekend live music and a great ouutdoor seating area for smoking and chatting (will be the in spot in summer months.) Manager Todd and his staff are all friendly and helpful and nothing to much for them. We shall be back on our next visit to preston

What a time and place to be after the re-vamp!!

Be careful u don't get drunk here. They film drunk people asking for food, then post to facebook. Totally immoral people.

We came in for a drink just before getting the bus back up to Lancaster Serves a nice pint of Heineken pleasant bar staff friendly atmosphere

New owners have taken over. Friendly service, clean and welcoming.

Just been in to try and see a person who I know the DJ Chris but yet the bouncer was unprofessional and very rude he works for titan security and should treat people with a bit of niceness and loving

Got a bit of a bad rep at the moment, but that's allegedly down to a beef between the previous manager and a vindictive licensing officer at lancon.

Very reasonable prices staff very friendly

Went to a birthday party here, great atmosphere and service

Cracking traditional pub, absolutely beautiful inside! Friendly staff and super dog friendly too! And "dog friendly" to us is when staff always offer water, which they did here instantly! 10/10!!

Great laugh got on well with people been there a few times no problem as an outer towner fp great people 👍 😀 👏 👌

Extremely poor hygiene and worst customer service ever.

Based on what they post on social media.. it’s clear that this establishment doesn’t welcome ppl of color, so if you think you are a sensible to racism , it’s not worth your time and money

Shame on you for making fun of guy and posting on Facebook. Guy was polite but you post it . Hope he sue you

Great place music brilliant, only down side to me is VERY expensive compared to most other bars.

Pizza was great, good stop for food/drinks

It's OK, a bit quiet when I went in, bit ok to start your night out

Wow can’t believe what I’ve just seen on Facebook been in the Hospitality industry for 8 years and will never treat a customer like that very disturbing behavior surprised there still up and running most definitely not owed by a big company because they wouldn’t put up with racist stuff and the fact the person still works there

Inappropriate and harassing conduct by staff. Their social media presence is disturbing and troubling for common people. Would never wish that I get hungry near this place.

First and foremost, the pub’s social media presence was deeply troubling. They posted videos making demeaning and unethical remarks, which is completely unacceptable in any modern society. I couldn’t believe that a place like this would openly share such offensive content without any regard for the hurt it might cause to individuals and communities. . As consumers, we have the right to expect businesses to be responsible and compassionate in their actions. I hope that my review highlights the seriousness of the situation and encourages the Pub to reflect on their behavior, take responsibility for their actions, and make sincere efforts to create an inclusive and respectful environment for all patrons.

Bad experience and racist staff

Your lucky that drunk guy was polite... you chose to make a mockery.

Took the mick out of a drunk or vulnerable person and posted on Facebook

Food looked appealing but we unfortunately didn't get a chance to try it

Nipped in for a cold pint before heading off to Manchester decent ale & very very friendly staff

Town centre music oriented pub. Didn't try the food but the menu is extensive.

Just popped in because it was close to the bus station. Friendly service and quick pints pulled. Thank you for the relief from the monotony of bus travel

Brilliant service and atmosphere, I've never had any problems I've given a low rating on the food, only because it's all down to personal taste, I've had an American breakfast from them, and I didn't like the bacon or sausage. I've also had a few Sunday dinners, again some of it wasn't to my taste, the Yorkshire puddings came like pancakes, and I didn't like the roast potatoes, but again it's all down to personal taste. Howeber the positive points were there was plenty of food on both meals, and worth the price.

Good night out the atmosphere was great and didn't take forever to get a drink either

Proper pub with proper grub. Had breakfast was great.

Good old fashioned pub good food and beer

The toilets are abysmal. But the beer is cold :)

Excellent little pub. I don't mean that in a bad way - nice setting, good drinks promos. And yeah, Brad the barman is excellent. Proper props given. Cheers.

Would really have liked the soul lounge upstairs to have been open, pity

Often finish a Saturday night out round Preston here. Always had a good time and never seen any trouble when we've been in.

Stopped off in here for one, whilst on a night out in town. Lovely pub inside, friendly bar staff, was busy, served quickly, lot's of seating.

Often come here for a few great pints at a place with fantastic staff, fantastic management and a great atmosphere. If I want to treat myself, a BLT is my go to, it's absolutely fantastic! I've tried the American breakfast box before too, with a side of beans (gotta be done), didn't disappoint either, delivered fresh as if the kitchen was next door. Has to be one of my favourite pubs in Preston, and top of my list for food (it doesn't feel like pub food at all, it's great quality, great taste). All in all, I think the pint prices are reasonable, I've never had a bad pint, and the food prices are exceptionally reasonable. Smashing it always!

Great pub, excellent beer, very friendly service.

This was a perfectly serviceable little boozer in Preston, a little smaller than you'd expect from the outside given the pub is very wide but not super deep, still it wasn't too busy so perhaps this one is a bit of a hidden gem. Drinks selection is good and very reasonably priced, but the food was just fine. Not bad, to be sure, but distinctly average. Still, for these prices, you can't moan too much!

Always lively and a great pub to end the night 🍺👍

Amazing pub, great selection on the food menu and the Sunday roast is just amazing. Good selection of drinks, friendly atmosphere, I go on Sunday just for the mixed Sunday roast. Fresh and well presented, prices are very reasonable. Kris

Never had a bad experience here even though I only ever nip in for 1 or 2.. Noticed a bad review abar pie and chips and sausage and mash which is an obvious lie tbh because I've seen them serve food and it actually looks the part. Staff are really friendly and welcome strangers as well as regulars.. Decent ale House tbh..

Best night ever as always music good dancing better

Guys behind the bar are very friendly!

Very nice little pub i visit often when going to watch football

Plenty of seats and reasonable prices. Quite busy for a Saturday afternoon and the barmaid was lovely n friendly.

Food lush cooked to perfection Staff lovely

Nice place, good vibes and a solid pint.

Good old fashioned pub but noisy. If you want a quiet drink avoid Saturday night 🤣 although if you want to have a bit of a boogy, disco lights came on at 7pm

Usual, friendly and generally nice people. All the best with your Leyland endeavours

Come weekly for a Board gaming night. Staff are always friendly and accommodating

Wow. The American breakfast is just wow. You get through the sausages and bacon and potato and egg etc, only to then enjoy pancakes and waffles with syrup. It was like 2 courses.

Great place friendly staff and great music.

Obviously ageism is alive and kicking in the Stanley Arms. One person at the bar waiting to be served that's OK, I'm next. No another young man comes to the bar and he is served next. Then to top it all a young girl gets served before me as well. Poor, very poor. Will not be giving this establishment any more chances.

Nice city centre pub. Nice burgers.

As sticky and old as ever perfect

Friendly bar staff nice dj great music.

Ordered food and came out in 10mins. Then plates where sorting hot. Always a bad sign for microwave cooking. Ordered stake pie and chips. Chips where hard as nails and pie was same. Only saving grace was gravy. Other order was sausages and mash, same issues. The drinks tasted like they where watered down. As a true Brit I cut it all up, moved around plate and ran and never complained. Now I'm hungry.

Great food & reasonable prices.

Excellent Sunday roast 'again. Thank you

Good place cider well just but at one point looked like Blue Oyster Bar

Supposed to have karaoke from 8pm. Left at 9.30 with no karaoke. One pint of lager was £4.60. Had a few drunk rowdy shouting youngsters and also a few rowdy shouting older guys You say you usually have karaoke on from 9pm. This wasn't a rumour that I heard. It was chalked up on the sandwich board that had been placed outside the pub. So you advertised that you had karaoke starting at 8pm ON THE SANDWICH BOARD. That night.

A great pub in the centre of Preston... Great atmosphere for all people of all ages !!

Good old pub, wasn't mad about the lager, but I've had worse.

Fun bar in Preston, UK. Who knew the Stanley Cup was given to Canada by Lord Stanley from Preston?

Missed karaoke but still had a good beer 🍺

Missed items off a delivery which made the food inedible (no gravy for a Sunday dinner 🤦‍♀️), and the beef was just fat, so it would have been inedible due to that anyway. Told to ring who delivered it to get a refund as they can't/won't do anything 🙄 Not great customer service to be honest, seeing as it wasn't the delivery drivers fault the gravy was missing. £20 down the drain!

Needs a upgrade decor very dated not a good selection of beers on tap

The Stanley Arms is a wonderful place. Friendly staff,great service and atmosphere and great food

A really nice pub to spend a quiet hour in the afternoon. A nice traditional pub which is reasonably priced . The bar man that I always seem to be served by, is very friendly and kind . Thank you 😊

Wow!!! Rough as the hills, and I'm from Middlesbrough!!! Monday night at 9.30, and they're playing happy hardcore music. First customer I see at the bar is stumbling away, spilling her drinks. She's then thrown out 45 minutes later. Very classy, and no intentions of ever going back

It's a boozer, nothing else to be said

A great little pub. Pleasant door men who dont judge you. Some great guys behind the bar too. An enjoyable night had every time I have been through the entrance. Highly recommended

Decent interior but cold and toilets shabby. Too expensive drinks, standard lager at least £3.50 so won't be ordering a £4. 20+ premium. Ridiculous for ordinary small pub.

Excellent quality service, meal was amazing and highly recommended with friendly n cute bar staff. Value for money meals and drinks that is.

Amazing pub great prices and quality and very polite and kind staff

The Cajun burger is one of the best burgers I've had in a while, the chicken was tender but still had a good bite to it. It was beautifully seasoned, if you're a fan of spicy its a great choice. The fries had a tasty Cajun seasoning and the coleslaw was really fresh and crispy. I was very surprised all round and I'll gladly return for this burger.

Great pub, don't know why it opens at lunchtime, always empty when passing. The day I went in, only one other customer. Can't be making money during week days.

Hi there and Everyone and thank you from Clifford

Great burgers, especially the big breakfast burger, really good homemade chunky crispy chips 🍟. Food was nice and hot. Friendly bar staff. Will definitely be returning.

Vastly improved, looks very nice now, used to be a bit scruffy, the upstairs function took is a hidden gem!

Good food and good service, bar tender was really friendly and accommodating. I got the Veggie American breakfast and it was really nice, very generous portion that I couldn't finish

Signage and information poor. Whilst I understand it roaats on a Sunday, need to look at menus etc to avoid confusion. Won't go back

Disappointed as only roasts Available on Sundays but nothing to say this.

Really good food! Super helpful staff. We shall be back! Gf v vg etc etc

Not good staff misable not helpful. Stay clear

If you want an old fashion pub this is your place. It's great at the weekend when they have northern soul on

Good choices but bar area very busy.

Great venue for a meeting. Super helpful staff. Great service. Lovely food. Can't fault it. Will use again

Staff lovely. Food good when it arrived but took 50mins!

Beer is kept well. A place to have a relaxing.

Let my polecats and me in same as you would a pet dog which is correct and not ignorant infact polects are cleaner and don't carry a risk of biting anyone with me which is something a few pubs either fail to see it are just rude and uneducated so thanks for being understanding as well as a nice drink and good atmosphere

Really great night out, friendly safe environment, with soulful music on two floors. Staff are really polite and friendly so I always get them a drink when I'm in there.

Belly busting full English, loved it, plenty of choice everything cooked as requested, will go again defo!

Terrible experience. I would not recommend. Nothing to do with the bar staff. The DJ was SO rude.

Small and friendly pub with good food and helpful staff

Nice food at reasonable price. Friendly staff. Saw a sign which, I think, meant dogs allowed.
