The Crossing Micropub in Lancaster

Thank for a lovely ale with excellent friendly staff great place for a pint or 2

If Carlsberg did pubs... Except they'd never sell that dishwater here! Great selection of ales and the sort of clientele you instantly warm to. A welcoming second to none. Well worth a visit.

Brilliant little bar on the coast

Great atmosphere and variety of unusual beers. Plus very dog friendly

My first visit ,had a few with my mates ,friendly staff ,great selection of beers and well worth a visit .

Tuesday 1st October 2024 This is an absolute gem of a real ale pub it's next to the train line it's a quaint, well run, hostilary, which has a great range of hand pumped ales The beers were well kept, and when in, hest bank this is an essential visit to drink real 🍺 ales

Short visit only but great staff and food not bad at all. Enjoyed it

What a little gem!! Great chat with the staff. Fab location not far from where we were camping. Don’t go with under 18’s but for us it was perfect. You can always get a takeout pint or two and watch the sun go down across the bay on the beach 2 min walk away 🥰 I’m not a beer drinker but a shot of Jura was fab.

Just cycled here for a beer from a nearby location where we are staying in our campervan. Great selection of ales / beers etc .

Lovely, friendly local pub selling a good range of beers

Food delicious 😋 especially for my husband who is vegetarian ,all credit to the chef👍 And top marks to staff for making us feel welcome. 🤗

Lovely pub right by a railway crossing, hence the name! A bit quirky inside, which was great, toilets down stairs (one of each). The landlord and lady were lovely and welcoming and the real ales were fab. No food unfortunately, but the Fiddler's crisps were divine. Popped in there for one, came out four drinks later! Would highly recommend!

Great range of beers and dog friendly, my spaniel loves it!

Great micro pub, sunny day so was able to sit outside on and couple of chairs. Lots of railway nostalgia inside and just a lovely place to have a proper beer.

Great little place. Friendly staff. Good choice of ale.

Sat outside after a bike ride from Lancaster. Right next to level crossing hence the name. A welcome refreshment stop.

These Micropubs are great places to visit, good local craft beers, friendly, helpful, and reasonably priced, these places are the way forward, especially with the way Pubs are closing down because they can’t afford to keep them going such a shame how they have been treated since lockdown.

Had a quick one before a dog walk over the beach

The master has a friendly and warm atmosphere, and the customers match the master's atmosphere. And a cute store. I'm happy to have found such a wonderful shop on my travels.

Great micropub, fab for rail enthusiasts

Expensive beers but good little micro bar

Awesome time in this pub. Gav was the host with the most! So kind and lovely! We have had our bangers and mash Gav as instructed. Love the bar!!!! Get to this bar if you want friendly banter and brilliant real ale!

Excellent beer, interesting people.

Incredibly friendly little pub staff obviously love what they do, it shines through as soon as you enter the bar area. My hubby loved the beers.. My prosecco even had fresh raspberries in! Wonderful. Very dog friendly.. Definitely worth a visit, you'll love it!

Best pub we've been in so far this week. Great selection of well kept cask at a reasonable price. If you're on the Lancaster canal then stop at Hest Bank and come here

Fabulous little micropub; nice selection of ales from light and hazy to a superb dark stout. Staff amazingly friendly & knowledgeable. Comfortable, surroundings right next to the West Coast mainline, brilliant if you're a train buff with some railwaymemorabilia. Morecombe Bay just over the railway track with views across to the Lake District. Limited outside seating as no garden. An absolute gem & not to be missed! No food, no children.

Having been a very regular customer 2/3 times a week I had a really bad experience here which has put me off returning. Some foul mouth guys and a constantly whining dog spoilt my quiet pint and then my friend was refused entry to join me as he had his 16 year old son with him. I understand the reasons but why allow the swearing and whining? There are always a lot of dogs. The beer is good though.

Lovely micropub, Fantastic beers and gins , really nice owners. Worth a visit.

Good beer, nice atmosphere but barman could have been more welcoming, seemed more interested in local trade then the passing one. Have had two pubs myself maybe being too critical?

Gareth the host is fab, couldn't meet a nicer man, open 12 till 9pm, different beers from different breweries, all craft beers, great to pop into for a chat and a drink

Always useful knowing a good pub with a consistently changing range of well kept cask ales opening at 12:00 noon seven days a week. Toilets downstairs.

Good quality real ale.Like drinking at Crufts!

Land lady Very rude and unwelcome don’t bother going. It’s a dump

A friendly microphone serving excellent beer. What more could you ask for?

Never had a more unwelcome entrance. As a family of 8 (7 being over 50 and the youngest 17 wanting a soft drink) We had just stepped through the door and were rudely and abruptly told that the 17 year old had to get out of the pub and also could not have a soft drink stood outside either! I presume it was the owner who spoke to us in such a cocky cleaver manner, he was just a plain rude obnoxious. We all immediately left to more catty comments from him. What a disgrace of an establishment!!

Update - April 2024. What a cracking little place this bar is. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. You go in as a visitor and leave feeling like you are a local. Andrew always remembers us and always has time to chat. Amazing selection of beers available 🍻🍻 ******************************** Great little micropub Good range of ales available at very competitive prices. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff A great mix of locals, tourists and dogs 🐕

Wow, we loved this place.Great atmosphere, the best company, the most welcoming place for a Wrexham fan...such a welcoming Landlord with great beers...Diolch yn fawr xx

Snug Friendly place. Great beers.

Absolute gem of a micropub next to the beach and level crossing at Hest Bank. Ideal for ale fans and train enthusiasts. 6 excellent casks and two craft kegs. Warm and knowledgeable welcome from the staff and the other customers. If you’re in the area a must visit.

Nice, friendly place with lovely drinks.

Lovely place. Popped in for a drink after a walk on shore. Friendly place with guest beers, lagers, gins etc. Warm and cosy and dogs allowed in too.

Lovely little place, staff as really welcoming.

This micropub is primarily for fans of real ale, but it's equally attractive to rail enthusiasts too, due to its location next to a level crossing over the West Coast Mainline. Beer and trains suit me! There were several well-kept ales, served with a friendly smile, and clearly enjoyed by the locals.

Popped into The Crossing after a walk along the coast. Great atmosphere, along with a huge choice of beers. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

Love this place. New beers every day.

Great atmosphere great beer n wine

Great Pub 🍻 with great views over hest bank. Right next to the level crossing so great for any rail and ale enthusiast

Nice little local micropub, decent selection of local'ish beers on cask and keg.

A Real public house, Real good service from really nice people

Great to see the barman check who I was taking a pint outside to

Fantastic little pub by the railway crossing at Hest Bank. Good range of craft beers, nice atmosphere and a friendly welcome. First time but won't be the last!

Small, friendly, local with good range of specialist beers and wines. No food, no children, lots of good chatter.

Nice little Micro pub with friendly service. Lots of parking nearby and easy access to the beach. Just note: children are not permitted in the pub.

Good beers,good atmosphere friendly staff,friendly locals

A lovely small place, good range of cask ale, good nearby patking with great views over the Morcambe Estuary. Very near a level crossing, great for train lovers

Greeted by a rude owner who demanded to see ID for out 19 year old (which was fine) but then bizarrely accused us of trying to hide our 17 year old. I understand that the pub may not allow 18 year olds on the premises. He could have simply explained this but chose to be confrontational. Several of the customers came out and helpfully advised us where else we could go. Will spend my money elsewhere where establishments treat customers with respect.

Long walk along the canal for a few beers. Very friendly place lots of locals in there with good beer.

Interesting micro pub next to main west coast trainline. Nice selection of beers and pale ales.

Brilliant place, Cider was first class.

Nice location and beer. Unfortunately on our second visit of the week, we took our 19 year old daughter. Owner, was quite rude and wouldn't even serve us soft drinks. So we went to the Hest Bank Hotel, instead, where the staff were lovely.

Great range of craft beers to sample and enjoy!

Cracking little pub with a wide variety of ales and soft drinks

Great micro pub and good views outside

Lovely micro pub with a good selection of ales right on the beach ⛱️

Great little pub with a wonderful choice of beers. Very friendly publican who obviously knows his beers and cares how he keeps them. Love the railway memorabilia decorating the walls.

Fantastic micro. Beers change daily. Must visit!

Great place, big for a micro, good fur canal walkway. Great friendly service. Oops I forgot to take a photo

Cosy little pub, right next to railway line, friendly welcome and great beer

Interesting little micro-pub so close to the railway that it vibrates when trains pass at speed! Beer quality and variety is consistently excellent. Unfortunately the bar staff are unpredictable: occasionally a warm welcome is received, but at too many other times their attitude borders on being sarcastic, aggressive and frankly rude. A few lessons in simple bonhomie would not go amiss: if you don't like the general public, then don't opt for a career in the hospitality sector. Overall it's a bit cliquey and non-regulars seem somewhat unwelcome.

Dog friendly nice locals good beer what more do you need.

If you like beer and trains, and let’s face it who doesn’t, then there is nowhere better than this. Fantastic selection of ales and gins, friendly bar staff, locals and pooches and just a short stroll from the wonderful Morecambe Bay and it’s amazing sunsets. 👌🏼

Magic! Right next to Hest Bank railway crossing. A train spotters dream while enjoying a pint of your favourite tipple. Quirky toilets with railway themed notices in the basement which is accessed through the bar. Brilliant, knowledgeable bar staff. Highly recommended.

Great place serving great beer, friendly clientele. And the landlord doesn't bite!

Good place for a tasty beer.And good company great selection of ale

Great find, positioned on the Level crossing and only 50 meters to the sea front over looking Morecambe bay. Warm welcome around 12 different local IPAs and beers all on draught plus a cider. Plenty of choice of no alcohol soft drinks. Sandwiches and crisps available. Enjoyed a chat with the owner and a local couple who gave us plenty of info on what events go on through the year. Happily recommend.

Decent beer selection. Quick service.

Good selection of Real ales in good condition Warm and welcoming micro pub

Lovely place. Great selection of beers .very friendly and helpful staff . Looking forward to going again when staying in the area. Thank you for opening our wine and the recommendation for a Chinese it was lovely x

A nice birthday drink with Dad & brother.

Great little boozer, dog friendly, great for a tipple after a good walk on the beach

Good selection of beer friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable friendly staff and inexpensive, what more could you ask for.

Cracking little micropub, friendly owner, lovely decor. Faultless.

This is the most wonderful place to have a drink. No music.....no tv....just chat....brilliant 👍 Well done Gaz and thank you for the pen 😁👍🍺

Great ales by West Coast main line level crossing busy

It was very nice. Very welcoming. Didn't hve food only a drink. Cheers

I went to this pub. I am 18 years old and went with my parents and they were very racist towards me and my parents and they did not serve us. We are now at Harry's Bar and they are treating us how we want to be treated. You are the worst pub and the environment was bad and it was tense. I felt very mistreated and digusted.

Racist pub me my husband and daughter went. Didn't serve us. Soon as we walked in we sensed ir. Bar tender asked how old daughter was and asked for ID.

Always a pleasant stop for a quick pint.

Really good selection of real ales Very well kept. Very busy Sat lunch when we paid a visit. Dog friendly. Very welcoming staff and customers.

Nice little pub right by the level crossing with many trains going by causing the gates to close. We visited a couple of times on a short stay to Hest Bank. Friendly staff and locals. Lots of train memorabilia. Ony minor problem is that it shuts early in the evening.

Good dog friendly real ale micro pub

Nice pub, but disappointed to find that I was being charged 20p a pint more than the guy next to me who was ordering the same beer.

Great beer and a lovely place. Can get busy. Friendly and welcoming at all times though.

Very friendly owner run, Micro Real ale pub.

great selection of traditional ales, reasonable prices, dogs allowed, no music, just good banter, doesn't do food so children not allowed, good knowledgeable friendly owner and bar staff.

Friendly place. Nice crowd. Well run. Better selection of beers than ever, with 6 hand pumps and 4 kegs on tap, including the ever present Budvar lager. No youngsters unless K9 offspring - free doggie treats means owners dragged inside too. A great little micropub combined with a proper local.

Very nice pub, friendly atmosphere

Friendly and good selection of beers.

Wide choice of ales and prosecco by the mini bottle. Had lovely chats with the owner and the perfect walk from Red Bank Farm where we were staying!

Nice choice of beers right by the railway track
