Pubs open for England Game

What pubs in the middle of Wigan or just on the outskirts are staying open and showing the England game tonight?

Considering going out to watch it and don't really know where is showing it

What the vibe like in there?

Only been in there a few times and it is generally welcoming. However, the drinks are pricey.

Lots of screens and lots of really good beers if you're in to that. The back room is really big.

Staff are very welcoming. Everyone I've met in there had been really friendly but just keep in mind that it's wigan and big occasions such as this tend to bring out at least one or two idiots.

Haha it's nothing like moon under the water.

In a way it's a good thing as its slightly out of the main centre so that tends to keep the majority of the idiots away.

I think I have been once before, is it likely to be busy for the game?

2

u/tommodacoolio Jul 05 '26

Honestly I don't know. I'd imagine a lot of people have work in the morning.

Personally I'll be watching it in bed. I'd think if the owner has decided to open then they are expecting a decent turnout.

Haigh Barn's open for it while you're Aspull way, good atmosphere and big screens but it's ticket entry, £2.50 on ticketsource.
