Winckley Street Ale House

A CAMRA Good Beer Guide pub. Popped in on a cold November evening with Madge and Jorvic. Good selection of four real ales. Decided on trying two half pints. One was a Glasshouse brewery 4.6% Pale Ale..a bit too floral for me. Also a 5% cinder toffee Porter from Docks brewery, very good. Good atmosphere on a busy evening.

A fine little Ale house, usually serving up a respectable 4 or so cask beers, which is what I'm here for. There's usually at least twice as much variety on offer in bottles and cans.

The tables outside are a bonus for rare sunny spells; otherwise inside is snug enough with plenty of scope for conviviality if that's what you're after. Food tends to be basic, but still good.

Toilets are clean...

Best bar in Preston! Very dog friendly, food is incredible and the beer selection is fantastic. It's usually difficult to find beers I like but the selection here is really good, something for everyone. Jonny makes you feel right at home. Can't recommend highly enough.

My first time here, and I am seriously impressed with the selection of craft beers on and cans too. The manager owner so welcoming and helpful. I be definitely back soon.

Originally 4 stars because I didn't know they had food, BUT I looked again, and holy hell the chicken and ham pie was 😚👌

Everything is great. Wish the door would fully close automatically, but top notch place aside from that simple fix!

This Croft Pub is in a different level with a wide variety of craft beers on tap ,something for everyone. The atmosphere is inviting and cozy, with rustic decor and very friendly staff ready to help you choose the perfect brew. This Croft Pub is definitely worth a visit. My very favourite place now.

Super little place, great music, even greater drinks selection. Owner is fun and friendly, and very knowledgeable about the products! I’d absolutely recommend this place to everyone who enjoys craft beers and ales.

Great place with a good selection of great beers. Small amount of seating outside too, to watch the world go by.

Some of the best food I've had around Preston! The bar staff were great and very helpful with which beers to drink (they have a lot of choice!)

I would highly recommended

Fantastic pie’s, impeccable service and lovely decor. The chicken pie and the blue cheese steak pie were both sublime. The pie’s are not too heavy, with puff pastry being used with a perfect amount of mash on the side. I highly recommend a visit!

Beautiful little place in the center of Preston, pies are so good 😋 you have to try Fish and rabbit! Interesting the Otter’s Pocket beer 🍺! “Soundtrack” 🎸is ok!

Incredible place, and always wonderful service. The choice here is immense and changes often, with so many choices of stouts, ales and more! If in Preston, please go, and, enjoy!

I had one ambition today, and that was to sample the legendary Lancashire “butter pie”.

I came, I ate, I conquered. Top scran, 10/10, would eat again.

Lovely little boozer where the beer's always on form. Great to see a commitment to well-kept cask, often with something dark and tasty on one of the handpulls. Good range of keg ales too, from table beer to hazy IPAs to delicious imperial stouts.
Comfortable spot to pop in for a pint and do a crossword, or to set up camp for a few hours with a bunch of friends.
I can't speak for the food as I've never eaten there, but who cares when the beer's so good?

The best watering hole.
Fantastic selection of ales and a wide range of takeaway cans too.
The staff are amazing, I’d recommend this place first above anywhere else in Preston to come for a drink with friends, family or just to chill yourself.

Excellent beers, great choice and condition

One Preston's newer establishments but one I'll be visiting regularly. The pies are divine. We tried the Fish Pie and the Vegetarian Gobi Aloo Pie both were amazing. It also has a selection of great beers all at a fair price.

Nipped in for some dinner with my wife and had steak pie, mash, peas and gravy. The pie was so tasty and atmosphere was great. Defo be back for a spot of lunch and a pint 🙂

Absolutely BANGING halloumi burger! Amazing vibes and lovely staff :)

Great little real ale bar, just off the main road.
