Good Beer In Bolton

You could also try The Howcroft just off Vernon St. (Tetley's on handpump and smooth, Taylor's Landlord, and two guests, one of which is normally a Bank Top Brewery offering) and The Hope & Anchor (Tetley's and Lee's) on Chorley Old Road, opposite The Doffcocker Inn (Holts).

In town, there's The Man & Scythe on Churchgate and The Hen and Chickens on Deansgate. If you don't like smoke in pubs, avoid Barrister's as the landlord has just been prosecuted for allowing his customers to smoke on the premises.
