The Bobbin in Lancaster

First visit. Went on the music weekend. The lad singing/swearing about 14:30 in the aftetnoon when kids were in made us drink up quick and leave. Dare say it wasn't the pubs fault. Will try again next time.

Nice pint of Guinness, regulars all very friendly

Good atmosphere, great drinks, pool table and music

Love this pub. Alternative music, big selection of drinks and friendly staff. Situated opposite to the bus station in Lancaster. Big beer garden with roofed area.

We called in here just for a pint but stayed longer as the beer was kept so well. Farmyard Sheaf was excellent and all four of us enjoyed it. Service was excellent and they took the Camra card which made it a lot cheaper than other nearby Pubs. Would definitely cone back here when in the area.

Customers who come to this pub are not in a good mood! I've come all the way to Lancaster without a good impression, and if you don't want to ruin your good cheer, don't set foot in the door

The bobbin is turning into a really nice pub

Where to start, the punters are fine, absolutely no problem with them whatsoever , great people. However a certain staff (object with no description) and a certain other who manages the place.Well just be prepared for downright rudeness, regardless of the £100's of pounds spent over the years. I and my associates will never step foot in the place ever again and to be honest won't miss the establishment and certain rude individuals, whatsoever. There are much better places to frequent in the Lancaster area than this public house.

Great venue for choice of drinks live sports and live music. Staff are great 🍻😉👍🎶⚽🏉

Great beers and atmosphere, good jukebox and pool table.

Very nice pub, however a certain bartender with a hat and blue hair was very rude and I felt like a outsider, she must have a chip on her shoulder about students, not a nice person as has to smile more, been called horrible things once. I love this place the beer tastes like angels however this one person ruins the experience

UPDATE - She has said plastic cups for spastics her name is Neve - I have been called a spastic by Neve unacceptable Unbelievable - pub great selection and atmosphere but there is one lady who is just so rude it almost ruins the experience. Not sure if her name but she has long blue hair and tattoos.

Great pub, great atmosphere. Regular live music (usually the rockier / punkier side of music), with good sized space both inside and out.

Perpetually angry bartender lady but great otherwise

Great place for live rock gigs, and a lovely atmosphere. Parking is available on cable street..quite big too. It was just £2 after 6pm...

Really good bohemian pub next to Lancaster bus station serving good choice of real ales with CAMERA DISCOUNT of 30 p--- this pub serves cheapest beers in Lancaster Saturday 19th Augut 2023 We came again to this great real ale pub handy for Lancaster Bus station This real alecpub is a Georgian virtually unspoilt building with 5 hand pumped beers on some from the lake districts The owner loves real ale, and a CAMRA DISCOUNT is available to members Great real ale pub to visit

Another pub in Casta's 2023 CAMRA Good Beer Guide. A large open plan traditional pub. Pool table, darts and several TV's. Two slot machines. Music a bit too obtrusive for me and Casta. Good selection of four real ales. Casta took Lord Marples bitter from Thornbridge brewery. There is a back room with another pool table and beyond that an outdoor area.

I was out with a couple friends and we went to the beer garden and were having a nice chat with strangers (as you do) and some bald fella with a long beard very threateningly told us to leave because we were “barred by association” for simply talking to somebody that he had an argument with earlier. I don’t even know if he works there, but that’s not any way to treat customers who had nothing to do with whatever was causing him issues. Extremely unprofessional and immature of him. Ruined our Friday night

Probably the best cask ale bar in town. Service is so good - so is the continually changing choice of cask ale - Windy Pale is a mainstay, lots of small batch Hawkshead brews turn up here but the added bonus is when Lakes Pale is on 👌🏼.

A super spot for live music and the beer garden is well worth checking out!

Very nice. Lovely decor inside and nice big beer garden

Friendly staff and customers. Excellent real ale. Good venue all around. Premier League and Live music. Bit of a rock vibe at the weekend.

Loved these guys,next to bus station so friendly,defo visit again.well done you all.

Re-opened early in 2017 after extensive repairs after flooding the Bobbin is a high point of the local real ale scene. Go for good music and good beer.

Good pub with a good variety of interesting beers and ciders on draft.

Bar staff is rude, seems to just want every customer to go away

A 'right' locals bar, a dying breed. Fantastic staff, cracking choice of beers. Although very much a locals bar, everyone is made to feel welcome. Worth a visit if exploring Lancaster.

Lovely place. Live music once in a while. A darts board and pool table to add to the fun. Clean hygiene facilities and affordable drinks too. Staff are friendly. I like the place. Probably my favorite pub in Lancaster.

My polecat and me had a lovely time in here with some lovely people and very unusual beer's that were very nice to try

Great place to enjoy a good real ale. Good music and a local vibe which can be enjoyed by anyone.

Nice pint of blue moon kept well

Absolutely loved going back after all these months

Great night with lovely staff 🤘

This is one of those little gems in Lancaster. Bar staff and sound engineer are amazing. Great venue for a beer and gigs.

Nice selection of beer. Friendly locals, great bar staff. All 3 flavours of monster munch.

Always my favourite regular bar to drink with good staff and clientele when wanting to have some fun and chats outdoors.

Love this place, our pub crawls usually come to a stop here lol

Decent pub but not the rock/goth bar we were expecting

Great pub lovely friendly staff good prices and location is right next to the bus station and the heart of town

Great atmosphere friendly staff amazing real ales

First time in and what a cracking pub. Great ales

The bobbin is a great place to relax and have a pint after work or meat friends their staff are really friendly and warm welcoming to their pub

Friendly and good beer - I mean, it's a nice pub, what more can you ask!

Made the Bobinn really nice beautiful building have enjoyed a drink while waiting for our bus

Best jukebox in Lancaster if you're into metal! Great atmosphere, lovely staff and a good selection of beers.

Great pub which a good range or beers to choose from at a reasonable price. Good group of people in there too along with their friendly and informative staff. Good to watch the sport too as they have plenty of tvs.

Meeeettttttaaaaaallllllllll!!!!!!

Great little pub at the bottom of town, plenty of choice of beers, ales and cider. With a rotating choice of local ales and beers. Highly recommend anyone visiting to pay it a visit

Went here for my birthday as usual staff always friendly and really good atmosphere

Awesome place! Quality staff, quality music, quality beers and quality people!

Fantastic and the real ale was Bob on

Avoid as there are better friendlier pubs in Lancaster. I understand the pandemic has been tough for all. This was probably our 6th pub of the evening and all apart from this one we received great service where the staff were friendly and welcoming. One particular female member of staff was sarcastic and basically rude to us. My friend is disabled and we were only asking genuine questions about what beer they had on offer as we could not go to the bar. Her reply "i only serve drinks i don't know anything about them" When she brought the drinks over I asked which was which as they were different. Her reply " If you can't remember what you ordered i won't be serving you anymore" Sorry but I don't like being spoken to like an idiot. I rarely leave negative reviews but felt this was justified. Up your game at the Bobbin or find staff that want to work there.

Lovely staff and place very nice to sit and have a drink

Fantastic pub Friendly staff great atmosphere Now my local :)

Great pub, friendly staff and customers good pub if you're into rock and metal

Peaceful and has open pool tables

First time at the Bobbin and was a really great experience. The staff have really got the new restrictions down, with social distancing, table service and taking details at the door. The staff were really working hard as it was busy, we spoke to three of them and they were all so friendly and professional despite how busy they were. There was a small wait to order drinks that we were warned about when we went in but they were very apologetic and after we ordered we had our drinks within a minute. There was a great selection of ciders on draft and a good atmosphere with rock music playing inside and a big beer garden. New to the area and we'll definitely be back.

Nice choice of real ales at a decent price,friendly staff and very handy for the bus station.I live in Carnforth.

I don't know why it's not called the Bobbit

Amazing bar lovely staff kid and dog friendly and amazing bands on the weekend

Go here when desperately seeking Susan.

Great music, great beers, and great patrons

Been going to the Bobbin for a little while now and have usually enjoyed my experience and normally have a pretty solid time. However yesterday I was given change out of a 20 of which the £10 was fake, of which I didn't know since it came from their till. Few moments after when I try to use this tenner they refused the sale and took the money off me. Whereas I don't mind the amount of money that I have lost the principal of a company giving me a fake note to refuse it to me, makes me feel like I have been robbed. Almost. Such a shame and if it wasn't for this then I'd be giving the bobbin 4 or 5 stars..

Good to watch sports and sit in the sun..

One of the great rock bars in Lancaster

Been in once in the afternoon and we liked it. Real Ale and Cider, seemed well kept. 🤘

Great service from the bar staff! Pool was fun

Rock and Ale. What's not to like?

Bit dirty sticky tables needs a good clean

Great Staff...free live music. Friendly regulars

.to be honest the music is not my cup of tea !! But the atmosphere is good, staff very friendly and good service and very clean

Great rock music bar, friendly atmosphere.

They play head banging music, it was bad enough walking past it one night. Hate to think what it was like inside. Massive massive swerve.

Great little rock pub. Good atmosphere.

Good honest rock pub on the edge of town. Easy to drive past and miss... But worth a look if you like that sort of thing

Enjoyed my 2 visits had good real ales from hawkshead and kirby lonsdale brewerys.

Quiet clean and cheap, definitely more of a grundge feel but the people are lovely and the chilled atmosphere is a welcome break from Lancasters more overflowing pubs

Real ale pub in good beer guide by bus station
