NOTE - There are four handpumps on the bar, the outside two are out of use, the middle two for Wainwright Gold and Hobgoblin IPA are Fake handpumps serving Brewery Conditioned keg beer NOT Cask Conditioned Beers. Carlsberg choose to market them as Fresh Ales! Reopened on Monday November 19th 2018 for the first time as a pub and not just a late night bar, located on Nelson Square which houses a War Memorial and garden as well as a statue of the world famous Samuel Crompton-inventor of the Spinning Mule. The drinking area is a single large and open plan space with multiple TV's with a long bar to the right of the entrance. An outdoor drinking area with a smoking shelter is to the side of the pub. There is an extensive Vodka/Gin and Rum menu to choose from. The able bodied toilets are some 29 steps upstairs with the ladies featuring a 'double occupancy cubicle' so conversations may continue if and when the need arises!
This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.
This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.
If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.
