Great Ale At The Vaults in Bolton

Great staff very friendly. Gud cocktails... lovley cheese boards. Worth a visit. Live music.

Really nice little bar underneath Bolton Market Place good selection of cask and keg beers plus for those others cider and larger. Great

The clue's in the name Great Ale, as there is always tasty cask ale and other drink options available.

Terrific service here at this Good Beer Guide listed bar

Great pub Great staff Awesome ale

Great little bar. It's a little pricey but nice mood to it.

Friendly staff. Cool bar. Could do with a wider range of non alcohol beers.

Really great bar in Bolton. Great ales, price and atmosphere. Great selection of ales, wines and cocktails. My wife really enjoys the pork scratching as also. Can easily spend all afternoon in here.

Good place to take the family and beer cheap..

Only two stars because it was lunch time and only us in, will come back at a different time. Beer excellent.

Great service! always friendly and helpful... Good beers too.... Nice relaxing atmosphere.

Great place and the staff are amazing

Fabulous drink for Mark Shaw's retirement do! Wish I could of stopped longer! Good luck Mark 👍💓🤗😘😋 x ps plus Vogue were singing!! X x x

As a regular weekends visitor I've always asked for a pint pot taken from right back shelves rack rather serve from out straight from hot dishwasher it causes the lager tastes funny can be annoyed me at times and I would always take it back to the bar it does happens at times I can always tell by the taste of it (just in case do keep a watchful eyes on barstaffs if you order a pint serves straight from the dishwasher the chemical from it which can cause funny taste like taste flat) it would be great if they install fridge freezer for various empty pint pots the better the taste it will be would be ideal for all year round. 😋.

Friendly ataff good service and fab music

Visited on saturday night, not as busy as it used to be, but they have live music on sunday so may be more busier then, still enjoyed the drinks and being back there, will come again

Excellent atmosphere and a good variety of drinks .

It was a great night had laughts and fun

Excellent place for a chilled beer , cocktail, cheeseboard.

Great place, nice and quiet with loads of proper beer.

Been going here since it first opened but I must say given the current Corona situation I was very disappointed with the staff hygiene. Please don't cough into your hands and not wash them, then proceed to serve people. Needless to say I will not be coming back until staff are educated. Hi Steve sorry this is the only way I can reply to you. The newish male staff member is tall with beard and tatoos.

Lovely relaxing atmosphere and pleasant staff

Brilliant customer service friendly atmosphere and good ale

Best bar in Bolton, without doubt. The quiz is so good, unbelievable

Nice place and chilled vibe, husband loves the lager here but I hate the Pepsi they serve, would rather pay more for Coca Cola. Good clean place though staff really friendly.

Staff made us feel incredibly uncomfortable, very rude resulting in us leaving early.

Great selection of drinks at a reasonable price and a relaxing atmosphere.

Great beer and lovely ploughmens board to share

Tommy Goven singing a lovely bacardi and coke my family and all my lovely friends around me on a chilling sunday afternoon, fantastic atmosphia,great bar staff serving, wonderful ales for my husband delicious barcardi and coke with ice and a slice in the right glassfor me, very tasty bar snacks served with a friendly smile what more could you want lovely. Thank you.

Great pub, Fantastic beers, and top staff. Do need to get a grip on the vaping indoors though.

Great location, always a good night in here.

Great location different ales to try

Disappointed no amber or chestnut ales basically Pale ale or stout/porter only. Went for the porter that was served warm. Won't be going back.

Called in.for the first.time on Friday, had a pint of porter at 5.5%, cant remember what brew but it was bob on.

Great under ground venue and excellent beers.

Could of done with a bit of lite music..otherwise perfect.

Nice place. The young woman behind the bar was helpful and knowledgeable.

Great beer .great live music fabulous atmosphere a must visit place

The staff are very friendly and efficient. Great atmosphere, food and drinks. 🥂🍸🍹🍻

Excellent place to have Quality pint & cracking light lunch. Excellent bar staff, very clean and well run. Try the ploughman's lunch, very nice with a pint of the best kept Dortmunder larger in Bolton.

This is such a hidden gem, the beer selection was fab and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly, I could have stayed all night had I not been visiting the cinema. Will definitely visit again.

Great night out staff very friendly

Try the Dortmunder lager, it blows your cap off LOL.

As it says on the tin ...Smashing beer food and staff

Really relaxing atmosphere to get away from shops and have a drink or two, service excellent

Went for a drink and got a drink

Great to find a quality bar deep in the heart of Bolton 👍

Good selection of drinks and helpful staff

A lovely clean place, very relaxing excellent staff.

Good pub good beers, nice place

Love their limoncello fizz cocktails!

We are regulars at this brilliant place, staff are friendly and nice, love coming here.

Do you wantGreat place, packed out, live music what more

Cool craft beer spot in Bolton. Definitely worth checking out if you're a beer drinker.

Best ale around but got kicked out still worth it though

Quality ale and great atmosphere, will visit again the next time I am in England.

First visit quite impressed very good IPA's

If you want to see the best and cleanest bar staff in Bolton ,look no further than the vaults ,tony and Yvette .

Fabulous. Staff,drinks,food and atmosphere are super. Give this place a visit

Lovely place to sit and relax when out shopping

Good selection of beers nice atmosphere in the town centre of bolton down in the shopping center

Great food good selection of bottle beer and real ale

Enjoyed my meal at Prezzo. Staff lovely and the place is spotless.

Very good selection of beers wines and cocktails.

What a good place to visit. We tried all but a few bars tonight inside this space. Worth a visit.

Too dark . like being in a warehouse.

Very relaxed bar with good ales, also the cheeseboard is fantastic

Great beer excellent atmosphere

Wonderful place with great range of craft beers both draft and bottled.

Always enjoy my visit here, paddle, banana beer, and best long island ice tea I've ever had

Not bad, too busy, too loud full of idiots

Good choice of beers, cocktails and spirits, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Always good to call in for a couple of pints. Friendly staff and a good selection of beer

A great easy place , good service with a great variety of drinks . Would always go back again.

Good atmosphere and even better beer. Expensive compared with other bars in town.

Brill love this place nice real ales aswell gets busy with not many seats so get in early chin chin 🍺🥂🍺🍷

Great Ale. Tried the Vaults ale and it was superb. Very drinkable.

They have a great selection of gins to try. Very helpful in deciding which to try.

First time here, good atmosphere quality entertainment and food only gripe the drinks prices .

Excellent service and good beer!

.excellent place. Lots of choices of food and drinks ...

Always a nice pint and a warm welcome, my favourite is Dordmonder union pils - proper German bier

Spent an afternoon chilling in the Cave bar. Nice range of cocktails and draft beer, and a small range of board games. They are slowly expanding this range, but it is a clever idea which turns a nice but simple bar into a fun chillout spot to hide in with friends.

Nice place, but it’s boring to sit there

Great beer nice friendly people and staff.

Decent enough for a Town centre Bar, Nothing too exciting on offer tbh. Other micro Bars around Bolton : Bunburys, Nook & Cranny, Tap & Cork far superior

Nice German pint. What more do I need to say

Best place in the vaults, proper pub not a fancy expensive posh wine bar effort! Great drinks , friendly staff , and cocktails with rude names that I've never tried but I always sit on my favourite stool when it's empty and read there names on the big board on the wall! Lol...xxx

A group of us met in this bar in the vaults for a few drinks before going on to a meal. It is a great addition to the Bolton night scene and I highly recommend it. Although in a shopping centre that has a great...

Obviously a modern bar, but selling some very good ale. Cross-section of ages. This bar is situated amongst lively (Friday night when we visited) modern chain restaurants. Check out the website for a good description, but worth one drink to sample the atmosphere.

At last Bolton has a classy bar! Real ales, Prosecco on tap, great wine, incredible cheese board. Great atmosphere, seems to attract great people & while it may be more expensive than some....you get what you pay for. Simple! Great bar!

Prices are quite expensive, £4 a pint of German lager and £3.70 a pint of beer but we found it worth paying more for the lack of the noise usually found in most pubs. Only annoying thing is next to it is a piano, roped...

We went with my cousin before he moves away to uni. The food came very quickly and it was very tasty although my burger bun and part of my corn on the cob was burnt otherwise I'd have given 5 stars as couldn't fault it....

Visited Nandos as two families and asked to be served food at the same time. However we ended up waiting nearly 10 mins for ours. Not very good considering they didn't say it would be a problem. Otherwise the food was very good as usual....

Love this place , friendly staff , really good selection of ales ... the wife loves the cheese board x

Hubs and I came for drinks before heading off elsewhere for something to eat. He had bitter and I had a couple of espresso martinis. Drinks not too expensive and my martini was gorgeous. Bar area was full so we had to sit round the...
