We are getting the train up to Wigan on Friday, where is good to go for a few pints before the game?

Thanks

Anywere really. Weatherspoons 100 yards from station, The Anvil near the bus station are your best bets.

Avoid Harrys bar and The Venue (formally Brunnells) both full of scrubbers of the highest order.

Avoid the 2 pubs 21-12 mentioned and the rest aren't bad.
Queues at Wetherspoons are always a nightmare but it's not a bad pint.
Berkeleys ok and for the Bitter drinkers there's a few Good uns to try.
Little Fifteens is pretty decent.
Anvil is a good pint but stay out (That's where I'll be! )

If you walk down past Deanery School (Which is the best/quickest way from The Anvil/Town centre) Sam's Bar is also a good pint (If a little cramped!).

The Brick on Frog lane, about a mile from train station. Best pint in Wigan, close to the ground and supporters from all teams made welcome. If you stay in the town centre, it is Friday night and things can get a bit fractious.

The Orwell on Wigan Pier was good last time.

Decent pin of cask ales.

I usually go in the Moon under water (spoons)..Then over to the Red Robin near the ground...

scrubbers sounds good

Have you seen a Wigan Scrubber??????
Teeth like Sugar-puffs,
Shag and Wank on her knuckles,
And a voice deeper than Barry White!!!!!!

Oh and on top of all that she doznt know the words to the famous Chant!!!
Wigan,Wigan,Wigan,Wigan.....

I actually cant disagree with this.

Although I work in Leigh, so anythings a bonus.

The Bulls Head at Goose Green , near to the DW , local brew , not to noisy ,good ale .

made me laugh

(Chin scratch) harry's bar & the venue y'say ....

It is very quiet these days. Anyone looking for a pint in a pub thats open the Prince of Wales
89 Victoria Street, Newtown, Wigan, Lancashire, WN5 9BL
Not far to the DW cheep beer and a good atmosphere before games

Sams bar across from the Deanery high school on the way down to the ground from town centre good old KW will be there
