Unique bars in Bolton

“The food was very delicious, and affordable, drinks were affordable and glad there were choices to choose. The DJ was great, a nice friendly place to celebrate with friends or partner.”

“Elena offered us first class service tonight, she couldn’t have done more for us, she recommended me the hoki fish coconut kare and had to say it was one of the best dishes I’ve ever tasted! Please Wagamama do not remove this dish from menu as was told its finishing at the end of the month! Thanks Elena for making our evening amazing!”

“We arrived at the restaurant on Sunday and were greeted so warmly by the host/manager. We have been a few times to this restaurant and the bar staff recognised us which was so lovely, recognition from staff goes a long way and made us feel so warm and welcome! Drinks arrived so quickly and he even remembered what we had last time we visited which was incredible service from him. The cocktails didn’t disappoint. The service was unbelievable, at no point did we have to ask for drinks order or food order to be taken. They’re incredibly attentive here. The food is artwork, it is so fresh and home made which is exactly what you want in a lovely independent restaurant. The lighting was perfect and the music fitted the restaurant aesthetic and the time of day we arrived. I can’t fault this place whatsoever, can’t recommend it enough.”

“Great food. The steak on a hot stone is excellent. Friendly staff and reasonably priced considering the quality.”

“Came Saturday 3rd December for our Christmas do. We all had food and drinks. It was very busy so our food was miss ordered but once it came it was out of this world. Most of us had loaded fries. Because of the delay we got a discount. The food prices were really reasonable. Would definitely recommend.”

“We have stayed at the hotel quite a number of times over the years and cannot praise it enough. From the moment of stepping through the doors and into the reception area, you are made to feel so welcome. Our room was clean, comfortable and the high end finish for a standard room was exceptional. We loved it! The food was excellent, too! As for the staff, well, ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Nothing is too much trouble. They are a credit to the hotel! Special mention needs to be given to Billy behind the bar for his help, patience and guidance with 'something technical' that left me able to use a new mobile phone purchased from the Tesco store next door! So, location wise the hotel is ideally situated and within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants!”

“Absolutely superb venue. Had a great Saturday night in here last week with a live band on, The Rockin Horses – brilliant band too, not to be missed!”

“I was taken to oodles by a friend who's been several times before. As I normally don't try a new place without recommendations I was expecting something good. Place was packed out, but service was lightning quick! It's a simple idea, but it works really well. You pick the small, medium or large box then add sides and mains. Medium box was packed full and I struggled to finish it so you're going to have to be hungry if you go for the large box. Food was tasty and starters were just as good. Highly recommended for anyone who likes Chinese food especially if you're in a rush!”

“I have to say I was crying when my 9ct yellow gold beads were tested with 18k acid . It turned my beads brassy brown. I was devasted! I brought them to Natasha’s mum who previously fixed them @ swinton diamonds&gold Natasha has some how (buffed) them and retained my gold . I can not thank swinton diamond centre enough I LOVE YOU GUYS. I asked how much I owe when picking them up and they said NOTHING wow. Just wow thank u all xxxxxx”

“Love this cafe. As a veggie the soup of the day was chicken but the owner James set to and made me the most delicious mushroom and sweetcorn soup ever . The prices cant be beaten in this place (large full English £4.95) and the menu extensive with a mix of English and Carribean all sounds delicious. James looks so calm under pressure as he was alone cooking and serving when we called in but everyone served in no time..my favourite place to eat when in Bolton.”

“The Royal is an hidden gem the food is outstanding all home cooked, and excellent value for money. The menu caters for all, the Sunday lunches are amazing all freshly prepared and if you don’t have room for your dessert you can take it home. The homemade pies a choice of Cheese or Meat are freshly made by Alison are a worth a try they are delicious. It is well worth a visit and the prices are extremely reasonable. The staff go above and beyond they are so friendly especially Alison & Nicola.”

“Guinness well good even a shamrock on every pint today”

“Great crowd of people in here I travelled 8 miles from Bury to meet up with some friends here I certainly will be back, great pint of John Smiths”

“First time visited. I'll be back!!!!! Lovely atmosphere and the staff are brilliant. Very informative, friendly, and happy. The building has a rich history, and I think it is either the 1st or 2nd oldest pub in England - I may have this wrong, but it's a beautiful building. .....and the cider, oh my goodness!! The rhubarb and ginger cider is like fruit juice. I think it was 7%, but so yummy, and very more-ish -BE CAREFUL. Can't wait to go back. I've put 5* for food, it was the most tasty pastie.”

“Another visit to Achari tonight! (27/11/25) and yet to have less than a 5 ⭐️ meal in there. Ended up bringing half my meal home and there’s enough for another meal for me!!! We were ‘warned’ the Achari sauce in the pickle tray tonight was ‘hot’ but we found it amazing - as usual!! Only Indian restaurant we ever go to now in Bolton.”

“Lovely little pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere and the BEST loaded fries we have ever eaten. Will be going back to try the rest of the menu for a long time.”

“Phil and Kate run a good pub. Crisp pint and good clientele. Alway good to ha e a catch up”

“Awesome food and creative facility. The restaurant is in a front section of a B737. A must go for aviation enthusiasts.”

“Are you looking for a fantastic dog walk with a rewarding pub meal at the end? Well then, the Hare & Hounds is your calling. It’s a cute little pub that you can start and end your reservoir walks with ending in some great food great drinks and a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.”

“Absolutely sensational fresh food. Been a few times now and every single time the food is top notch. The service is fantastic the staff can not do enough for you. Honestly one of the best restaurants around x”

“Went with 6 locals who we met in town , was made to feel very welcome even though most of them went home after one drink drunk , when we're next in Farnworth having a curry we will call in before and afterwards if not sooner, thanks to all that work there for making us feel welcomed.”

“Great for watching sport,TV end of most tables. Nice and friendly atmosphere. Good beer and not too expensive.”

“Great friendly atmosphere good selection of beers and other beverages very helpful landlady parking isn't vast but there are some spaces”

“This place is my favourite in Manchester. I’ve been there many times and was never let down. The food tastes great and is fresh and presentable. The staff are extremely friendly. It’s difficult for me to pick a favourite meal as all are delicious from Peri Peri grilled Chicken to burgers and mixed grilled kebabs.”

“Went there for my daughters birthday. Absolutely fantastic food, and atmosphere, they even brought the cake out to a rendition of happy birthday. The staff couldn't do enough for us, I would recommend this place 100%. Thankyou”
