The Ferret is a really cool bar that wouldn't look out of place in a larger city. It seems that…read morethey focus largely on being a music venue but when we visited during the day for food and a few drinks we felt well looked after. The menu is all American "dude food" (as my dad calls it) which is a bit boring and overdone but I can't really blame them for this as everyone else is and people keep buying it. I was happy to see they had a few vegetarian options as even though I'm not veggie, I didn't really fancy a huge meat feast when I visited. All the food was perfectly tasty but just too huge and sloppy to be fully enjoyable. I had a halloumi burger with mushrooms and some sweet potato fries on the side. This was a really hefty chunk of halloumi which I struggled to get through. This could partly be attributed to the fact that I ate a sandwich on the train over from Manchester, but my parents and sister also struggled with their food (chicken wrap; burger; hot dog with chilli). If you want to eat here then come hungry! The food was really reasonably priced as well, coming in at under £30 for 4 meals and 3 sides. The draught beer selection was good as was the bottles. I chose a Buxton New World Saison and a Rhub IPA which were both really nice. The barman had misplaced all bottle openers somehow so I had to open them myself with a bottle opener I keep on my keys. In another place this would have been pretty scandalous but in a self-styled dive/student bar it was just quite funny. Graffiti in the toilets was plentiful and amusing, with both my mum and my sister sourcing numerous numbers to phone for sex should they feel so inclined, and me finding out that one patron loves Bill Murray. If I was a student in Preston I can imagine spending many happy hours in here, and if you're in town then it's only a 10 minute walk from the station and a good option for beers and burgers.

A perfect place for Live Music lovers. I'm more of a Rock/Jazz/Blues fan, which they get quite a…read morefew amateur acts in for. However the occasional Heavy/Death Metal act gets so loud in there that you need to literally stuff tissue bits in your ears and its impossible to order a drink from the bartender without your tongue almost being in hi ear. Eventhough sightly overpriced the food portions are relatively much bigger as well so if your a foodie, this isn't a bad place to be at .
