Name of pub: Cin Cin
Address of pub: 1A Church Bank Street, Darwen.
Landlord name: Dominic Holmes.
Staff: Cameron Ingham, Nathan Howard, Carla May, Laura Ainsworth, Damien Smalley.
History of the pub: It used to be a bookmakers and a clothes shop at one time.
Is there a beer garden: Yes it is our latest addition. We have a relaxed vibe with some trendy furniture and a chilled-out vibe.
We have heaters and a smoking area too.
Most popular drink served: It has to be gin and cocktails as we are a gin and cocktail bar. A pornstar Martini is also one of our best-sellers. We like to introduce new items to our menu too.
Do you serve food? Yes. We do meat and cheese platters, or fresh olives to accompany a round of drinks. However this is not possible at the minute as we are restricted because of the pandemic.
The best thing about running a pub is... The customers. Darwen has a great community and it’s great to meet new people. I am originally from Accrington and I love running Cin Cin. Everyone’s friendly with a good sense of community spirit. We have had some friendly people pass through the doors and they have been kind enough to leave us five-star reviews on Trip Advisor.
The worst thing about running a pub is... The weather! Sometimes the rain can put a dampener on things.
Perfect hangover cure is... A take out and Netflix, definitely.
Opening hours: Open late Thurs-Sun.
