| Strewth! How long has Ropey Hall been a pub? It used to be a sort of function suite. I did my A level exams in there in 1970 and we had our leavers' bash there as well. A great do as I remember it. Inspector Fishwick and the local drug plod allegedly came along afterwards, swept the floor and analysed the findings. The band was the ever excellent Little Free Rock. Happy days! scoobybooze - 6 May 2011 14:08 |
| Recently the pub has taken on new doormen; the type to use their power of discretion to disallow people entry into the premises due to reasons that can at first stem from failure to appear an exact likeness to a driver's licence taken three years ago, leading to an inability to replicate the signature on said license perfectly.. followed by the declaration that they just don't like people with "long" hair. As somebody who has been a patron for more than a year, I'll make it noted on this website that the venue has been more than inviting in the past but, as of late, the doormen have been keen to instigate aggresion for their own amusements. It has put me off this particular pub for life. DinosaurSr - 24 Jul 2009 02:30 |

| As has already been said - a scream pub like every other. Not the worst one I've ever been to though, and the upstairs is one of the better late night places (not sure I'd really call it a club) in Preston, with decent-ish music, pool and comfy sofas. woodyptom - 21 Jun 2006 21:04 |
| Downstairs A Yellow pub with decor exactly the same as every other Yellow pub. But I like it. Despite being an indentikit Scream pub, I like this place. It gets busy but you can usually find a place to sit. There are a couple of pool tables . The staff seem pretty friendly. The drinks are cheap. What more do you want? Character you say? Have a yellow card instead. Upstairs A decent club that gets packed with students as you would expect. Loads of pool tables if you don't fancy dancing, table football, and a massive bar meaning that you don't usually have to queue for too long. NoCoolNickname - 24 Jun 2005 01:03 |
