£19,500The Alexandra is a traditional community pub nestled in the heart of Darwen, a historic market town in Lancashire, England. Surrounded by residential homes and local shops, the pub is perfectly positioned at the centre of a close-knit community. Darwen boasts a rich industrial heritage, once a prominent hub for textile production during the Industrial Revolution. Today, it blends historical charm with modern convenience. The town lies near the scenic West Pennine Moors, with the River Darwen winding through it, eventually feeding into the River Ribble, one of the North West’s longest rivers. A standout local landmark, Darwen Tower—also known as Jubilee Tower—sits proudly on the moors, offering sweeping views and commemorating Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee of 1897. Well-connected by road and rail, Darwen offers easy access via the A666, linking it to Blackburn and Bolton, and is served by direct trains to Manchester Victoria, Clitheroe, and surrounding towns. This makes The Alexandra not only a beloved local pub but also a welcoming stop for visitors exploring this historic and accessible part of Lancashire.
The pub offers a unique and versatile layout, centred around a central servery bar that seamlessly serves both the main bar and lounge areas. This design ensures smooth, efficient service throughout the venue. The lounge room provides a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, featuring a comfortable mix of fixed bench seating and low-level chairs, complemented by a blend of carpeted and tiled flooring. Soft furnishings add a homely touch, while a small raised area with an open fire enhances the cosy, inviting feel—perfect for dining or unwinding with friends. Entertainment is well-catered for with a pool table, multiple TVs showing live sports, and a dedicated DJ area equipped for live music, karaoke, and quiz nights. The main bar area offers a more vibrant, social setting, with hardwood flooring, high bar stools, and bench seating around the windows. The space is designed for active engagement, featuring dartboards, a second pool table, and live sports screens, making it a lively games room atmosphere. A well-equipped catering kitchen on site supports a food offering for the lounge and snacks for the bar area, adding flexibility to the venue’s appeal. Outdoors, a decked area overlooks an expansive garden, complete with covered huts and a large grassed space, ideal for summer events and community gatherings. Ample parking is available at both the front and rear of the building, offering convenience for guests and reinforcing the pub's role as a hub for both locals and visitors alike.
The Alexandra is a predominantly wet-led community pub that takes pride in delivering an excellent drinks experience. While the focus is firmly on its diverse and well-curated drinks menu, the pub also offers a midweek food selection and traditional Sunday roasts, creating a balanced and enjoyable visit for guests. With wet sales making up 80% of its trade, The Alexandra clearly resonates with those seeking great value and a welcoming atmosphere. The pub also serves as a versatile venue for private functions and events, with seating for around 100 guests, making it an ideal location for celebrations, family gatherings, and community events. At its heart, The Alexandra is a true community pub. It actively supports local sports teams, hosts darts and pool games, and provides regular live music at weekends, fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment. The current licensees are known for their warm, community-focused approach, which has earned the loyalty of local residents and cemented The Alexandra’s status as a beloved local hub in Darwen.
