19. Craft House Beer Cafe (5 Clifton Street, Lytham, FY8 5EP)
This cosy micropub, now in its seventh year, guarantees a warm welcome. It has fast developed into a popular destination for real ale drinkers and can get busy. Four ever-changing beers are served, sourced from far and wide and always including a dark beer. These are supplemented by a selection of British and world craft beers in bottle and can. This small bar is dog friendly and offers pavement seating, weather permitting. A small food menu is served daily. | CAMRA
20. Beer Shed (20 Poulton Street, Fleetwood, FY7 6LP)
An ambitious conversion of a previous bistro in a quiet town-centre side street, this unique micropub provides quality cask ale within a relaxed, friendly, single room. Pub games and brewing memorabilia enhance the experience for local clientele and visitors alike. There are four handpumps serving a changing range of regional beers, with real cider and Shed Beer, brewed by the owner, usually available. An outside seating area is a popular place to chat and unwind in summer. | CAMRA
21. Steamer (1-2 Queens Terrace, Fleetwood, FY7 6BT)
Fleetwood's oldest surviving pub, the Steamer is situated across from the famous market. It offers a varying selection of up to four real ales in a traditional pub setting. The decor is complemented with pictures of the local area and historic fishing vessels, reflecting its close association with the fishing industry and history of the town. Good food is available daily from noon, with regular theme nights and live entertainment at weekends. Fleetwood Museum is only 60 yards away and is worth a visit to find out about local history. | CAMRA
22. Kirkham Bierhaus (36 Poulton Street, Kirkham, PR4 2AH)
Based in the former Santander bank this pub, which opened in 2022, is already a favourite with locals. It has a bright interior and there is always a good conversational vibe in the air. A range of regularly changing beers, mostly from local brewers, is offered along with a range of German draught and bottled beers and UK craft cans. A suntrap garden is to the rear. | CAMRA
