Currently closed which I would imagine is a massive relief to the local residence, i wonder who the next mug is going to be who thinks they can turn this place around?

Sadly back to being a Yobs paradise after yet another change of landlord

They are trying their best, but need to imrove the ale Friday night had to leave it , as it was totally undrinkable

Present tenants seem to be making an effort to rid the place of kids, wether it works or not remains to be seen but one thing is for sure, its destoyed the Bowling green pub as they have just moved on

I agree with Rivington on this one avoid it like the plague.Unless that is you are partial to a good punch up or a glass in your face.Scum of the earth frequent this place but please please keep it open so they dont descend like a plague of locusts on one of Horwich's few good boozers and ruin that to.

When someone is visiting Horwich, and they ask me which pubs they should drink in, I often start by telling them to avoid The Albert at all costs. One regular Albert drinker once told me that he frequented the place "for a line of wizz, a grope of some 16 year old birds and a scrap". I think that pretty much sums it up. THE place to go if you want a pint pot in your face.

Closed yet again, a shame that, at least when it was open it kept the dickheads out of the other pubs.

I was bitterly disappointed to see this pub has re-opened after the recent forced closure

Popular with people who can't spell, like looking at half naked teenagers and whose main concern is how cheap the beer is.

I agree with townie on this one,in all honesty if we do venture out nowadays me and the mrs normally head to the albert,the beer is cheap and most nights there is live entertainment,if you like a pint o bitter over your game of dominoes whilst talking about who's died recently then this probably aint the place for you,maybe there will come a time where i find the site of semi clad vivacious teens swanning around an eyesore ,but until then bring it on

I enjoy this pub not as bad as made out if ur up for a good nite out then this is the pub in horwich
townie - 27 Mar 2007 10:32
The worst pub in Horwich? very likely. Packed on a friday and saturday night with Elizibeth Duke adorned teenage girls with the obligatory tramp stamp tattoos screaming "leave it" and "he's not worth it" to their neanderthal boyfriends who will start a fight with anyone in the pub to prove to all around that they are not gay and don't read books.
Don't miss the friday night special of a "Bokkel" and a beating, all for £2.50.

Absolute toilet. Best thing about this place is that you know where most of the wankers in Horwich will be, so you can avoid it like the plague. For this very reason it needs to be kept open, or the tossers will find another place to ruin.
STAY AWAY!

Never thought I'd hear that said about W & K, though you're right.

mad house, Kelvin and Wanda's years look civilised
horwicher - 30 Jul 2006 10:19
I never believed that this place could get worse, but it has.

For friday night fight night and hardcore drinkers, many of the customers look drugged up and the staff dont look friendly wud not recommend in general but like most pubs is quiet in the day and is reasonably cheap!
anonymous - 4 May 2006 21:11
Attack on customers last Saturday by somebody in the pub with a hammer. This is not what you want in a pub anywhere, I hope it gets itself in order before it gets shut down. A sad tale.
Rivington - 17 Apr 2006 17:47
Several times now I've seen customers leave the pub then p*ss up the front wall. Maybe this is another kind of review of the pub, but I tend to think that it just sums up the kind of anti-social yobs who use it. Avoid at all costs.
Rivington - 6 Apr 2006 09:22
Loud, not particularly cheap. Generally inhabited by 18 year olds - mostly chavs, or 70 year olds, with nothing inbetween.

Best avoided unless you like a good fight. Was refused a late license in the recent shake-up due to constant problems with noise and violence. Cast iron proof, if it were needed, that Darwin was right.

Know called the 'Victoria And Albert' after a very expensive makeover.
Still has the same evil, idle gobshite customers
anonymous - 26 Sep 2005 20:44
I'm in complete agreement with the previous comment. I wouldn't go in if the beer was free .
anonymous - 14 Jul 2005 19:58
Full of Yobs
