One of my favourite youtubers. Kinda famous, trying to visit every pub in the country.

This last edition was in our very own BURNLEY!

Give it a watch if you're interested!

[Burnley Ace]

He put a good shift in!!

I've not got to the end yet but when he did Hebden Bridge, I think he'd done 15 or 17 pubs...

Thanks for that. Great stuff. We don't half have some boozers!!

Watched this last night when it popped up as a random recommendation on my YouTube TV app- good watch and nice to see a positive and upbeat perspective from a first time visitor to our fine town.

He didn't visit the 3 pubs up by the Sorting office but by the time he left the Bridge he'd been in 20 odd drinking establishments and had a drink in each so you can't blame him

Wow, what a brilliant video, especially for those of us who haven't done a bar crawl in Burnley for what must be a good 11-12 years now.

A few bars weren't there. Wasn't the Hatter's Craft Bar a bakery/sandwich shop?

The Coal Yard was BB11 when I was last drinking there. The Poker table - wasn't expecting that!
Next door the Penny Black was the post office last time I was there. Love the perfume machine.

All the pubs along from the football ground to the centre look better - especially The Royal Dyche with the beer garden and stadium seats.

Needless to say, that looks a hell of a lot better than 12+ years ago and there seems to be many more options.

[Tribesmen]

Yep very good 4 pubs i have ever seen before, secrets, penny black , off the record and oskers.
A few others renamed also .

[Dinglejedi]

Just as well he didn't venture up to the Loom, the lass behind the bar must be charging for a smile. Direct customer focus is not on the list.

We went in Secrets for the 1st time last season having walked past it loads of times and didn't know it was even there. Decent pint of Stella too.

Only noticed it on this occasion due to there being a table outside with people having a pint sat at it, go in most home games for 1 now making way to the ground rather than waiting 10 minutes for a drink under the culvert.

[Belial]

It just shows how many decent spots there are. Never think of many either (and he missed quite a few, not everyone's tea but the Sanctuary and Smacks to name a couple - they are as much pubs as the Big Window imo)

[Tribesmen]

Hey how .many pints / drinks did yer man have ?

[ollieclarets8]

I think there was 1 pub he didn't have a drink in but it looked to be around 20.

[JohnDearyMe]

Hey how .many pints / drinks did yer man have ?

I was wondering that. He seemed remarkably coherent at the end given he'd visited 22 places!

Seem to struggle more walking up Manny Rd than the drink and the lightweight only got as far as Inn on the Wharf, good job he wasn't rushing for a train, the bit after the roundabout is where it kicks in after a few

[Loyalclaret]

Brilliant video showing a variety of our watering holes and there are a number of others that could have featured.

Burnley's a shithole, I wanna go home...

[CaptainKirk]

Never knew we still had so many pubs in the centre.
Remember going in most of them back in the day but seems to be so many more now.
How do they all make a living!?

This is what I thought. A decent pub crawl back in the day was 7 or 8. Not 22. Not sure if the one across from Inn on The Wharf is still open - was Hollywood Star I think.

[TommyPicks]

This is really refreshing to see, and somewhat contradicts the narrative around pub culture, venues closing and such like.

Granted it's undeniable pubs in and around Burnley have closed down. The venues showcased in his video however do show there's still a good appetite for pubs and a decent amount of trade to be made.

Given Burnley is one of the most economically deprived areas in the country, it was great to see so many of the pubs/bars busy from the video. Clearly a Friday night is when you'd expect a peak, but nonetheless the atmosphere looked decent in most of them. Plenty to cater for all tastes, too.

With hospitality and pub culture apparently on it's knees, the video surprised me a little bit (but in a good way). I do feel a lot of these micro/craft beer pubs (like Hatters and New Brew-M) are really taking off currently.

Some of the prices too. £2.50 for a pint in one of the venues! Can't grumble with that at all

The guy is visiting Todmorden tomorrow . Isn't there someone on here with a bar/pub in Tod? Could be a good opportunity for some publicity

It’s a great video and, as others have said, uncovered a couple of unknowns for me. The Cork House looked very nice I thought in terms of somewhere you could take a girlfriend/wife. I liked how he tried to be positive about every pub even when ,in some cases, they looked distinctly dubious eg The Dubliner

[Somethingfishy]

The guy who has the channel was on You Bet on Saturday evening. He had to recall the name of the pub and where it was from just it's sign (without the wording obviously) He got every single one of them.

Quite a few of those pubs I have never set foot in and a few of those that I have look a lot better than the last time I was in them. The Little White Horse is now a wine bar. The last time I was in there I was served by a topless barmaid
