please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
After reading the excellent reviews on this site and seeing all the Camra awards on the walls of this place I was very disappointed to be served with a sour pint of Allgates. Maybe standards are slipping?

A great pub with excellent choice.
Used to just sell very light real ales only, but a greater choice beginning to appear.
|
Has just been done up in rather dubious lurid colours for some reason (purple walls!?) but still the business regarding beer, sport and atmosphere. A must if in Wigan.
|
First time I've had a pint in Wigan centre for 20 years and what a pleasure.
|
The best option I have so far found for drinking in Wigan. A spectacular array of ever changing ales is supplemented by good, no-nonsense hospitality. Convivial indeed and an atmospheric place to watch a lunchtime kick off before hot footing it to the JJB. The one snag? - no pies on sales on my visit.

By far the best pub in Wigan centre, adjacent to bus station. Comfortable pub with range of rooms ranging from large screens for sports to quiet area.
Beer excellent, good range of real ales ranging from Hydes cask bitter through a range of unusual brews including two from the closeby Allgates microbrewery. Winner of Wigan CAMRA awards Spring 2007 and pub of the year 2006/07, no wonder!
|
Best range of Ales I've found in a long time, and not impossible to drink in on a Saturday night!
|
Good range of real ales and imported draught beers.

Still best in Wigan TC,but little competition bar Wetherspsons. Beer garden needs attention, however.
|
Fantastic atmosphere on a Friday - a real customer mix, real beer lovers pub, real ale good if not brilliant.
|
Excellent town centre boozer next to the bus station. Friendly staff dispensing superbly kept ales from a big range at very reasonable prices (us Southerners are used to near-£3 a pint now instead of the either-side-of £2 up north...)
|
Top class pub that has a splendid atmosphere and a superb choice of trad ales. Included is "Allgates", a beer brewed by the landlord!
|
Some fantastic beer here - and its always well kept. But the real blessing of this place it that it's still a PUB and has resisted the temptation to concentrate on food at the expense of being somewhere nice for a pint or a glass of Kriek...

Excellent Hydes tenancy with wide range of real ales in addition to Hydes beers, usually including Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted. Draught Belgian beers also stocked. Simple & inexpensive food served. Soon to have it's own brewery.
