The Guild

Walk into The Guild on a Friday night and you'll find exactly what a neighbourhood pub should be—no faffing about with craft cocktails or Instagram angles, just good company and proper pints. It's the kind of place where regulars know the staff by name and you're not made to feel weird ordering just a drink and a packet of crisps. The food menu's straightforward Greene King fare, but done well enough that you'll actually fancy stopping in for a bite rather than heading elsewhere. Fylde Road's been buzzing more lately, and The Guild sits comfortably in that local ecosystem, neither trying too hard nor phoning it in.
