I would recommend starting on Wigan Lane.

Bowling Green
Millstone
Royal Oak

You can then work your way down the hill have a pint in each of the above.

Then choose from either

Tudor House
The Anvil

Or perhaps have a pint in both.

Then if you appreciate good music

The john Bull

From the John Bull you can then head into King Street and you will be tuned in enough not to notice how terrible it is!

Enjoy.

At 42, Bamboogie on King street will be your best bet for the music.

John Bull, Tudor, Boulevard

Tudor, Tavern, Moon, Berkleys, are about the only places I would go. Wouldn't go down King street with a barge pole.; chav central.

Isn't the Tavern now a Thai restaurant?

Moon and are Berkley's are ok, but the Tudor smells.

Best pub in Wigan the Tudor.

Best jukebox going.

I shall be in there tonight after playing pool down at rileys.

I'm assuming you'll only be going here if you can't get in to Chaplins?

My kind of guy (even for a pie)

Shame Pemps isn't open any more.



(I went once, but just want to let everybody know I was a ''member''.... )

You still are

You missed The Anvil, best 'ale' in Wigan !!!!!!!!

Eurgh.

crap though they were I kinda miss them

.. Princes too when all the floors were open. Did you ever sample the delights of JR's? last time i ever went in there it was full of old bags

Walkabout is about as dreadful as it comes, 2 best places in Wigan are revs and Bentleys imo

Now that was before my time - I cant remember what it was called when I first started going out round town - I think it closed down after some bloke got stabbed and killed outside (pre CCTV)

Edit - Just remembered it was called The Playhouse ...

That I did, I prefer the other three but that's where I go if I want to watch a game.

Chaplins was down the little alley way next to the playhouse.

I still miss the King of Clubs.

And here it is,

Ta luvvy!

I forgot all about the cans of warm red stripe. You could also buy 'food' in Scotts and Turnkey too which was of an excellant quality. I remember when one person used to get their hand stamped and then you 'transferred' the stamp on to a couple of your friends hands so they could get in for free

And the Bier Keller plus Room at the Top.

the beir Kellar , Ahhh Memories

Did that get renamed into Bluetos then sylvesters?

just wanted to say thanks for the advice guys. i took most of it, and started at the moon, and just went to random bars in king street. though revolutions was great to say the least... cheers
