The Market Tavern

Honestly I've enjoyed coming to this little gem for a while now, I've seen it evolve and blossom over the past 4 years or so, it's become a safe haven on Wednesdays for the LGBT community and beyond with beautiful and friendly staff.

Although some bad apples may come in to try and spoil the bunch the staff stand strong and try their best to make this a safe place for all.

I love them for this.

The food is comforting, its nothing extraordinaryly complex, its food you'd make yourself or ask your mum back in the day to make because honestly you felt like hell and just needed a food hug, toasties were certainly my comfort, now all we need is fish finger sandwiches and i might move in!

Keep up the spectacular work.

Long time since I'd been in here so was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. Friendly staff and a good choice of beers. Will not leave it as long until next time

After 2 months of weekly LGBTQ+ nights, I can say without a doubt this is my favourite local experience in my 3 years in Preston. We always get our favourite booth, drink to our heart's content and sing along to the expressive karaoke. Can't reccomend enough!

Love coming here, best pub in Preston

Never known a pub with so much entertainment neally every night of the week Worth a trip

Another great pub in Preston.

Didn't eat just drank in here but it looked good and clean good little pub

Lovely old town centre pub, great ales lovely atmosphere!

Knowledgeable and friendly landlord, good choice of beer and a beautiful pub with lovely architecture and the odd quirky bits. Definitely recommend.

enjoyed my visit at lunch time food and beer was good will visit again people in charge were pleasant

Would def recommend a visit to this great Pub. Excellent choice of beers. Friendly Staff who have good knowledge of their products. Awesome music. Clean and homely.

Lovely little pub, very friendly bar staff and a really decent pint of ale

Cute little place and I enjoy Wednesday's when they do karaoke night and you can sing anything you want on karaoke I always enjoy it

Great place. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Good vibes. Highly recommend.

Excellent city centre pub located, as suggested by it's name, close to Preston's historic markets.

Great real ales as well as Erdinger as a permanent offering in addition to an excellent range of bottled beers including Belgian ales. Also lagers and ciders and wider range of spirits and some wines available.

Warm, inviting atmosphere especially on cold winter evenings and limited outside tables for enjoying cold beer during the summer watching the busy market activity during the day.

The only issue is opening times; some times the pub closes early and sometimes doesn't open at all during the week. We particularly like coming here on Christmas Eve but the pub shut by 9 pm on Christmas Eve 2014 which was disappointing.

I appreciate that staff need a holiday also but surely in the pub trade Christmas is a busy time and folk want to come out and enjoy a few festive beers.

Hopefully the opening times will be made clearer and even better just open till 23:00 every night and perhaps 01:00 on Fridays/Saturdays-I am sure the there will be a lot of custom if this was implemented.

LBGT friendly, amazing pub, wonderful atmosphere, delightful staff, I haven't tried the food yet but I need to! 🥰

Well worth a trip. Great offers and a trip to an age of pubs almost gone.

My favourite pub in preston. Erdinger on tap and a great selection of belgian & german beers in bottles as well as a really good of real ales which change each week. If your passing through and fancy a pint would definitely recommend

Under new management now who own beer and wings in preston. It is now called the market taps. But the locals still call it the the market tavern. It's a nice small pub with a few guest ales on.

Really good pub, bar staff helpful & friendly. Just a shame they don't do food at the moment
