The Elephant and Castle is a large town centre pub in the heart of Bolton's main nightlife area. Weekend evenings can be busy when the pub acts a meeting point for revellers while DJs play tunes old and new. The host of large TV screens are also a magnet for football fans during big games. There are 5 handpumps with usually some of the following available Moorhouse's White Witch, Wainwrights Amber or Gold and Sharp's Doom Bar. Outdoor seating at the front of the pub is popular, weather permitting.
