The Ale House Clitheroe - Ribble Valley

Super choice of beers. Friendly staff (American lady with awesome taste in music), and great location. London Porter was top notch. Took no pictures sadly...

First visit on a Sunday afternoon, I was the only customer at the time so place lacked atmosphere. They had a good selection of beers and I enjoyed my cider.

Popped in for a quick drink after coffees next door- what a cool place! Sat in the window and enjoyed a lovely glass of Merlot . Brilliant range of ales etc and a warm welcome from the lady on the bar!

If you want to chat to people, this is the place for you. There is always a conversation at the bar ranging from should I cap my energy prices? or debating why a previous review said that there were not enough ladies ' loos (there are two and I 've never had to queue). If you want to have a quiet moment/read a book, get yourself upstairs or into the other ground floor room. If you want to feel safe, valued and looked after, just get yourself through the front door. The beer is great (or so my husband tells me as I 'm Coeliac and never liked beer anyway). However they have cider, wine and soft drinks for the non-believers. This is the ultimate example of a local gem that welcomes everyone who might be in the vicinity.

Standing room only and Cash bar. Lots of traditional craft beer on sale. Friendly staff and locals. Dog friendly too. Its very small inside so be prepared to stand. Great for just popping in for one.
