Hi guys, can you give me a few recommendations of bars in Wigan town centre to hit on a Saturday night,as im staying over with my partner for the night before the game. Not looking for any " chav " stylie bars as at 42 not my scene

just decent bars for a decent night out.

cheers

You can't go wrong with;

(Visit in order) Bentley's > Vodka Revolution > Ibiza Bar > Walkabout

All on King Street.

Although the usual ''The whole of King is chavvy'' etc etc posts will follow , the bars mentioned are probably your safest and most popular amongst normal, non-chavvy folk.

King Street is nowhere near as bad as it used to be

Cheers for that ABP', seems like a good start to the night for me, we are staying at marus bridge, so i take it its a short taxi ride to town, just so we arent taken 10 miles for a 3 mile trip or whatever

Marus Bridge is 4 quid in a taxi from town (i would imagine)

thanks again mate... sounds a great option to me then....

Boulevard is pretty good. I usually end up in there.

Little 15 on Wallgate is ok mate. Opposite the GPO

Not far from the Ben Jonson...a certain ex-Wigan player now in charge...

Ibiza bar £3.50 triple vodka redbull



What alex put you cant go wrong

Good choice. But it is really chavvy.

Best night of the year is in Wigan (no not when Wire are in town) Boxing Day, it's brilliant.

King St is a good night out, good police presence, all the Bouncers are professional and all linked up together, clubs are big and varied. top night all round

If you are into your indie music there's always Indiependance.

Down the side of the old train station (Wallgate)

Couple of places have cleaned up a lot recently. A lot of the "older" generation shall we say

go in places like Boulevard or Revolution. Reflex is a good club to get you kicking, and Walkabout is always a laugh.

At your age mate you'll be ok in the moon under water and just around the corner the wiend bar . That's your age group but there won't be many in there till after 10 ish

Revolution is the best place to go. Try Walkabout as well though, only accross the road.

Can't go wrong in the John Bull Chophouse

Has anyone got a link to the Wigan Pier thread that used to be here, maybe this fella will want to try his hand with some high society Wigan pier girls.

If I were you I wouldn't go Walkabout, the worst pub/club in Wigan, followed closely by The Hub, Liquid, Jumping Jacks and Bentleys.

Stay with Revs and Ibiza Bar!

Actually, the worst is as followed:

1. Wigan Pier
2. Maximes
3. Walkabout
4. Liquid
5. Hub
6. Jumping Jacks
7. Bentleys

Walkabout is quite good, I used to have a good strike rate in there when I was single.



Don't go the bar next to walkabout (don't know it's name), queing up for Walkabout once and ended up sacking it off and going in that bar, there were no windows, it sounded booming from outside and you had to pay before you went in before you could see what it was like, we paid, went in and it was deader than Elvis and walked back out and got back int the que for walkabout a fiver down. Livid.

Marus Bridge will be £5-£6. If you're going to Bentley's, I wouldn't go upstairs. That's where all the chavs hang out in there. Ibiza is a really good mix of people, as is Revs. Boulevard is more of a rock place, but I like it.

Is the Bodega bar still open ?

Just go to revs have 20 shots and it wont matter where you go after that

cheers everyone, im getting an idea of where to go and where not to go, although walkabout is a bit of a mixed bag, oh and thanks for the warning about the ben johnson pub haha,
