The best and easiest place to find out about the local pubs and the beers they serve is from the Lunesdale CAMRA website maintained by local phytophile (hairy) Martin Sherlock.
A list of pubs serving food in Lancaster can be found in our eating out guide. Below is a round-up (not remotely comprehensive tho) of popular local pubs & clubs - some have rooms for hire for private functions. If you are looking for gigs etc you'll find them in our what's on calendar.
We don't advertise drinks promotions but if we become aware of a problematic shortage of inebriates locally we may review this policy.
We have some reviews of local pubs (click here): your views are welcome

Take backup and play wisely. Dancefloor is packed most nights but Sunday, when upstairs is closed. On the plus side the A/C is excellent."

YORKSHIRE HOUSE
Parliament Street, Lancaster - (01524) 64679
With close ties to the Music Coop this is a musicians' local, with regular live bands and performances in the upstairs bar.
See our events diary for info on what's on.
John Freeman writes (05/06): "One of Lancaster's last "old-fashioned" pubs, i.e it hasn't had its innards ripped out and replaced with plastic and crap lager pumps. The only nod to the 21st century is, possibly the hand dryers in the toilets, but we'll let Kevin off that one, 'cos we like him.
Simply because this pub hasn't been wrecked by some idiot designer's idea of a pub, this is a down to earth place with pleasant landlady-chosen decor, well kept beer and good guest beers, and a commitment to live music and other live events that is hard to equal or beat. Simply one of Lancaster's best pubs."
"Lancaster's best pub!" writes Ken (05/06)

John Freeman writes (05/06): "Nipped here a 40th birthday party recently, great pub with an Internet jukebox not adverse to playing Frank Sidebottom.
