The Borough

The impressive grade 2 listed Georgian building with Victorian frontage has ranged from the Mayor of Lancaster’s house, to a working men’s club. The Borough in its current state has existed since 2006 and has been a very popular drinking location in Lancaster City Centre ever since.
With delicious food on offer, plenty of beer to choose from, front and rear outdoor seating along with plenty of indoor seating, The Borough could be the perfect place for your next evening out, with rooms available upstairs if you’re looking to stay in the city.

The Three Mariners

Another fantastic place for all you history buffs out there! The Three Mariners is certainly one of the oldest pubs in Lancaster, dating from the late 1600’s (although some claim it is far older!) and boasting a gravity-fed cellar, one of only two sites in Britain to do so. Throughout its lifetime it has played a part in Lancaster’s rich history, from housing Jacobite soldiers during troubled times to allegedly playing host to the last drink for prisoners as they were led from Lancaster Castle on their way to be hanged. Rumours abound of a hidden passage linking the inn with the castle’s dungeons, along with wandering spirits that haunt the bar!

Located in the city centre, near the stunning surroundings of Lancaster Castle and close to Lancaster train station, a great first stop if you’re arriving here by train.
