Black Horse Old world charm. Ornate. Grade 2 listed classic heritage pub. Beer & banter.
Detailed review: Situated at a stone throw distance from Harris museum and bang opposite the back entrance of St. George's shopping centre, Black horse is a vintage gem among the pubs in Preston. What greets one are the fascinating interiors of mosaic floor, tiled bar with a plethora of options and the walls which are adorned with pictures of old Preston. The front two rooms have basic but comfortable seating setup in an early nineteenth century world feel with the decor, lead bordered thick glass windows and added charm thanks to the real log fires. The music is played via a jukebox and there is no specific genre which adds a good surprise element.
The hospitality is courteous and there are always some regulars at any point of time.
Limited/no food options but it is surrounded by plenty of fast food joints. This place is ideal for beer and banter as life goes...
