Dirrty Harry's

Dirrty Harry's is Preston's dedicated LGBTQ+ bar, on Friargate in the heart of the city centre. Run by an operator with years of experience programming Preston's queer nights (the venue is the successor to the earlier "The Hangout"), it presents itself as a safe space for Lancashire's LGBTQ+ communities. The bar has an outdoor area and a games room with pool tables, and puts on late club nights at weekends alongside drag and themed events. In a city without a traditional gay quarter, it functions as the main anchor of Preston's small but genuine scene.
