The Ferret - Preston

We were visiting Preston for the weekend and we decided to spend our Sunday night at the Ferret. Really enjoyed it. Relaxed atmosphere with live music. Good selection of drinks and well priced. Young girl on the bar kindly ordered us a taxi We only asked if she knew a number for a local cab firm so service was spot on. I would love to visit here again but I don't live local. If I am in the area again I will be sure to come back.

A special bar for me personally as it was the first place I performed some of my poetry after moving to Preston in 2016. I have some experience of live poetry from Manchester but this was a whole new city to inflict myself on and the audience were very appreciative. I loved the range of beers here, and the food, as well as some great live shows including a few burlesque events I attended (not as a participant). With life getting in the way and the long Covid shut down of every bar in Blighty, it is great to see The Ferret bounce back as a premier live entertainment venue, with some well known bands appearing. On my most recent visit, Space, who recorded Neighborhood in the 1990's, were headlining. Great show, venue, bar staff and customers too.

Went to The Ferret for a comedy night. We’ll set out for an audience. Not enough bar staff. Bit too warm if sat under heaters. Great graffiti in the loos. Fab posters.

Nice place,helpful staff,nice atmosphere You can find a wide range of tastes and you can for sure have a lovely night out

I really like the decor of this place, vintage band posters on the walls near the stairs. It gave me a retro feel. Service in here was fast as I came in during the day. They have a selection of ales and frequently have live music. I would recommend to come here if watching bands is your thing. Initially I came to try some food before the menu was discontinued. I had the filthy fries. The filthy fries were topped with chilli beans, cheese, guacamole and sour cream. The portion was quite big for me and was really filling. The price of that and a drink came to around £7. I thought it was good for the price. I'm sad that I didn't get to try any of the other food on offer. But I'm glad that this venue is continuing to support live bands
