| I agree with its aesthetic look it is a tired pub and in need of some new paint on the walls etc but apart from that I cant fault the ale and i think it has natural charm and character, I used to drink just bottles when I came here but now the real ale is some of the best around with loads of guest ales that you dont usually get at other pubs. If your into your live music ( rock, metal ) then its the place to go. On another note the punters in there are some of the most genuine people ive met and you always hear some great and funny stories jmiller - 25 Jan 2011 16:06 |
| Called in here for the first time despite living in Bolton for over 7 years. A good choice of cask ales, the Cumberland was well kept. However the put itself is far from endearing, with peeling wallpaper and a general decrepit look. The toilet has broken tiles, graffiti and no soap, dryer or handtowel. Due to this, although the beer was good I can't recommend the pub sadly. alexw - 3 Jan 2011 20:59 |
| The real ale in here has come on in leaps and bounds recently. I had the aptly named 'Dogs Bollox' the other week and was amazed at how good it was! A few years ago we had to put up with the bog standard and disgusting 'Burtonwood' but now the revolving guest ale and new handpumps have been an excellent inclusion.

| Same here realalerules1983! Toilets are iffy yes. Usually got a few tissues to hand and that anti-bacterial hand cleaner as they never have soap or towels! mandylou - 18 Aug 2010 20:48 |
| By the time I get here I'm usually shitfaced. When I've been in wetherspoons, Barristers and then man and scythe on the thatchers this is my last port of call. Normally end up on the green goblin cider. Good jukebox regular live metal bands playing. Only downside is that it can stink of raw sewage! realalerules1983 - 17 Aug 2010 13:21 |
