Disappointing.
Called in here before a match at Gigg Lane and no real ale (I understand hey have 2 normally).
Surely they know there will be a bigger crowd than normal and tap a few barrels.

Reasonable pint, although served in plastic on match days.

Decent pint of Lees,handy for Bury FC.

Small pub that's the closest to Gigg Lane, Bury FC's ground (also FC United of Manchester). As such, it gets busy quickly but the bar staff seem well-practiced in getting beers out at speed. The bitter is from JW Lees and is perfectly ok without being exceptional, but costs �1.90 a pint, so scores well for that. On a sunny Saturday, just prior to the first game of the unibond season, this was a more than pleasant pub, with its picnic benchesat the front, to spend half an hour outside.

Now has Sky Sports, but only on small screens, which can be a problem when the bar area is busy. Also has a pool table and welcomes kids on matchdays (this is the closest pub to Bury FC)
