The 30 Best Bars near me in Oldham

“Nice, old-fashioned very traditional British pub with a cool back room where bands play. Friendly service and a good atmosphere, the back room is small so perfect for an intimate gig. Good selection of beers on at the bars including Robinson's Trooper which is a personal fave!”

“Popped in before Christmas while visiting family in the area. Great selection of wines and spirits, including a range of local products. Good recommendations & extremely friendly service, even with it being busy. Located on the corner with steps down into the shop, can be easily missed, however their sign is at street level so keep your eyes peeled. Hot Mulled wine was also delicious, highly recommend!”

“This venue is absolutely incredible. I’ve now been to two weddings here and thoroughly enjoyed both. It’s a proper hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Saddleworth, you honestly wouldn’t expect it to be quite so impressive from the outside. Inside, the décor is tasteful, elegant, and beautifully thought out. There’s a stunning balcony that overlooks the main dining area, and the outdoor space is massive, perfect for weddings and, I imagine, other events too. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner. I ordered some drinks I wasn’t supposed to, but he handled it really politely and respectfully. It's easy as a business owner to become jaded and not speak to people as individuals or talk down to them, but he's obviously a good dude and gives people the benefit of the doubt.”

“Lovely, small hotel. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Nice pub too, Excellent breakfast. We stayed one night for the standedge tunnel canoe trip. Stayed here on Friday night and then the owner gave us a lift to marsden on sat morning to join the canoe trip. Diggle end of the tunnel is 200m from the hotel. Recommended.”

“Great place, great atmosphere. Always call in now when on a night out in Ashton, and it never disappoints! Great tunes, karaoke (some good and bad!), everyone's always friendly and always have a laugh when in there, cheap beers and shots what else do you need? Would highly recommend.”

“Wrigley Claydon Solicitors had the pleasure of attending Indish Restaurant for a business meeting followed by a meal. We were most impressed by the warm welcome extended to us by Mr. Afsor and all members of staff. The atmosphere was exceptional, and the food was of the highest standard — both beautifully presented and delicious. We would highly recommend Indish for both private dining and corporate events. Our sincere thanks to the entire team for their outstanding hospitality.”
