The Taps

Lytham's most celebrated real ale pub, The Taps has been serving hand-pulled beers since 1849. A compact, characterful boozer with an ever-changing selection of cask ales and a loyal local following.

The Taps is a Lytham legend. One of the oldest pubs in the town, it has been serving hand-pulled cask ales since 1849 and remains one of the finest real ale pubs on the Fylde coast. The interior is compact and full of character — bare boards, wooden benches and the kind of atmosphere that only comes with over 170 years of history. The ever-changing selection of cask ales is the main draw, with a rotating lineup that showcases the best of British brewing. There's no kitchen, no fruit machines, no distractions — just excellent beer, good conversation and a genuinely warm welcome. A must-visit for any ale enthusiast.
