Derby Arms
211 Eaves Lane, Chorley PR6 0TR
Modernised street corner local, largely open plan with a pool room to left of bar. Real ale reintroduced May 2019 by a keen licensee. There should be two changing beers available at weekends reducing to one in the early part of the week.
Masons Arms
98 Harpers Lane, Chorley PR6 0HU
Tastefully modernised multi-room pub on the outskirts of town just a mile walk north from the centre. The tap room has a bank of six hand pumps with normally six changing ales available at any one time. Beers are sourced mainly from north west micros but beers from further afield are available from time to time. There should normally be a dark beer available although the preference is likely to be towards the lighter end of the spectrum and below 4.5% ABV. There is a small lounge to the right of the entrance with a few seats and a wood burning stove. The large rear bar has an impressive counter (no pumps) made from railway sleepers topped with a lovely oak top. There are two more wood-burners in this room, within large stone hearths. The floors are mainly flagged and with the light paintwork and lack of clutter, the feel is very modern, while still retaining the traditional multi-room layout. Pie and peas and filled rolls are usually available and pizzas served 5-9 pm daily. The Masons Arms was awarded the Local CAMRA Most Improved Pub of the Year for 2018.

However beers from larger breweries such as Robinson's and Marston's also appear. The beers tend to be below 4.5% ABV and pale or golden and are excellent value - at £2.10 a pint one of the cheapest pubs in the branch area.

Sams Bar
12 Railway Street, Chorley PR7 2TZ
This pub was originally known as the Waggon Makers Arms and appeared in the very first Good Beer Guide in 1974 (albeit named Waggoners). Described as a typical working-class house with live music at weekends it once served beers from the long closed Matthew Brown brewery in Blackburn. Whilst remaining a traditional pub it underwent a significant renovation in 2021 both inside and out. A long bar down runs down one side of the pub serving a mainly open plan layout with plenty of comfortable seating and a good beer garden to the rear. Three cask ales are served on hand pump with one of the three pumps tied to Molson Coors and the other two being free of tie, usualy serving pale/golden ales sourced from local breweries.

Shepherds' Hall Ale House
67 Chapel Street, Chorley PR7 1BS
Chorley's first micropub, this friendly and welcoming bar next door to the bus station opened at the beginning of August 2014 and was refurbished in January 2020 giving an upmarket feel to the alehouse. Up to five cask ales are served, mainly from micro breweries from across the country, although a LocAle or two should normally be expected. To ensure a good range of ales each pump serves a distinct style of beer and a printed menu is produced showing what is coming up on each pump in the immediate future. Third of a pint beer paddles are available. Two real ciders are also served, normally one traditional, the other being fruit-flavoured and with six craft beers on keg (often including one from the nearby Rivington Brewery and others from further afield including beers from Europe), two Budvar Czech lagers and a range of wine and spirits there's something to suit all tastes. Awarded the local CAMRA Pub of the Year 2016 and Cider Pub of the Year 2017.
Bob Inn
24 Market Place, Chorley PR7 1DA
A tiny bar housed in a market stall, this is certainly the smallest pub in the branch area. Outside seating is available and drinkers often spill over into the market area. This is a pub where conversation and banter is an important part of the experience. An adjacent unit now forms a lounge area separate from the main bar. With 3 ever changing cask beers sourced from smaller breweries and at least two ciders there is something for every taste. Unusually for a micropub there is a full range of drinks including spirits. No food, but you are welcome to bring your own. 20p a pint discount for CAMRA members.
