Tap 'n' Barrel in Wigan

Lovely little bar right near the bus station, nice atmosphere in the back room, playing some good music as well didn't have any food as I don't recall any one eating, all in all a nice place to chill out with a beer or two 🍺🍺

Excellent little bar.The staff are exceptional and a great atmosphere 👍

Great little bar. Wish there were more like this in Wigan. Real ales and cider on tap and has a good beer garden at the back.

Worth seeking out - choice of 3 cask beers and a couple of ciders - Windermere Pale is a mainstay and it’s always in excellent condition although the pump clip could do with updating! More room upstairs along with the toilets.

Great staff, customers and did I mention beer

Nice place. Odd really. I had it down as a blokey real ale place. You know 50 something dudes shouting at bar. Actually it's not. Yes it has real ale, yes it has 50 something guys but its very pleasant. So safe for a quiet drink. Bring your paper and relax without the born again noisy blokes roaring ar thr bar

Excellent beer in nice surroundings. Only 4star because of the lack of food choice

We love Paul he's wonderful such a great guy. Plus he's not holding me hostage to writer this 🙃🧙‍♂️

Nice little independent city centre bar. Friendly service and good selection of local real ales. Keep up the good work.

Called in for a couple of pints of real ale. Can recommend if your a real ale lover and in Wigan.

Decent selection of beer on offer. It was quiet when I visited but had a great selection of music on so was more than happy to spend an hour here. Environment is clean and service was good.

It's clean,cosy conservatory downstairs also ladies toilet downstairs,handy for the bus station

Small bar next to bus station. Good range of beers. Lovely, friendly guy serving.

It was quite late when we were there. So it was very quiet, the beer was good and the layout was quite unique. Nice place.

A great little bar with great selection of beer, helpful friendly staff and not too noisy. Our go to when in Bury for a night out.

Nice micropub with independent real ales. Shame all 3 were weak pale ales tho...

3 cask ales available at the bar and three ciders also available. Beer kept well and very nice

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Two for the Road were playing, excellent. Lovely atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Microbar in town centre. Good real ales.

Great atmosphere, range of ales and service

An even quicker pre match pint than in the Anvil. Nice micropub, with a good outside area. Reasonable choice of three real ales

Great little bar next to the bus station. Very good range of beers with plenty of room inside despite its size. Seating area outside as well.

Had a couple of pints and a pork pie after work on a Friday, top quality and fantastic value, I'll definitely be back. The staff and regulars are friendly making you feel right at home, terrific selection of beers on offer, sad I didn't have enough time to sample more. Excellent choice of music, any place that plays Werewolves of London will always get a thumbs up from me 👍 Many thanks to all, keep up the good work!

Great little place, never seem to have any dark ales or stouts to offer this being the main drawback for me. One particular bar staff seems to be a little grumpy..shame really!

Jaxons Court is a hiden Gem in Wigan its clean and well kept and the buildings all look wonderful...

Found the tap n barrel while waiting for the bus what a delight great beers nice little tap room barman was super friendly and chatted about beers really good down to earth tap house

Visited many times and will again. Quiet bar very close to the bus station and easily walkable from both train stations. Decent range of real ales from near and far. Always good quality and well kept ales!

Always good here. Staff friendly and chatty, nice atmosphere and clean xx

Live music, Lilley cider great atmosphere.

Sunday 18th June 2023 This Great little micro pub is a dream for any one who wants to drink hand pumped beers or ciders This pub also has a smashing beers place to drink at the back It has a good bar man/owner on today and the clients are friendly ans a easy peaceful background music was played well done all involved here

Beltin little bar, great friendly atmosphere 👌

Poped in for a couple Saturday great pint and great service from the two very freindly bar gents, will defo return🍻

Great atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon

Lovely selection of cask ale on tonight.

Top quality micro, 3 ales, 3 ciders, and craft keg beers. A short stumble from the bus station next door, seating is limited due to the narrow limitations of the premises.

Find this place you'll love it, if you're a real ale micro beer lover this is for you,so rustic in the atmosphere, lonely joice of beers a real talk with a drink occasional, staff were educated on the beers ,love it

Love this little bar whilst waiting for a bus at the station every time I go there seems to some sort of live music in the back or a band practice

Crazy adventure Primark the best £40 spent trousers shirt belt hoodie and a bobble hat £40 was buying trousers and shirt brilliant

This long narrow bar is down a narrow backstreet. It has about six hand-pulled ales. There’s an open air area at the back which has heaters. Function room upstairs. Worth a visit.

Friendly staff. Tried the Mango Cider and it was really nice.

Been in twice before getting a bus. First time place stank of sour beer ,like a beer cellar floor that not washed. Beer quality was debatable. Tried again as cask marque and Good Beer Guide. Barman coughing all over the place serving beer , cutting fruit and using cash machine and till without washing hands. Disgusting, won't go back or recommend. Avoid.

A few local lads were strumming their guitars. Chilled.

Nice little pub nice staff clean an tidy x

Absolutely brilliant venue, great atmosphere, brilliant live music on Sunday afternoons. Great location

Lovely local staff really made me feel like I was surrounded by people I could trust, alongside great music!

Excellent ale served by friendly helpful staff.

Love coming in here good beer and Artist on Sunday afternoons " beltin "

Sadly visited the place but very disappointed. Stood at the bar for about 20 minutes ignored by staff whilst a dispute was going on with a customer about their lager of all things. Walked out WaWalkeBarstattentive to that custom

Great day yesterday good entertainment

Cosy town centre bar perfectly situated next to the bus station. Great atmosphere. Friendly bar staff and superb selection of beers on tap. Comfortable seating. There's regular live music, check out before going.

Great ales topped off with live indie music! Win win.

Great little place hidden from view

Nice beer (real ale) and pleasant staff

Always a good selection of IPA's, friendly atmosphere, good music and a function room for gigs

Nice place to visit for a real ale enthusiast, cosy and had a good vibe, I'm looking forward to my next visit

Good beer choice, not too busy, good prices. On our visit it was a little cold.

On of the best. Friendly staff and customers. Also welcoming to my dog. Love this little pub ❤️

Nice little bar tucked away in a courtyard, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Nice selection of independent brewery beers on tap. Gins, ciders and lager as well.

Quaint little bar with a bigger room to rear and first floor. Sells a selection of real ales. Nice staff, always made welcome.

Really nice and relaxed atmosphere

Great little bar with loads of atmosphere

Fantastic little venue. Had a cheeky pint. Fantastic as per usual

Very tasty range of cask beers and delicious scrumpy ciders.

I needed a quiet place to stop and talk to one of my friends after they were dealing with a hard time and that's just what rap n barrell offered. Quiet, serene, a fine selection of ales and comfortable seating. It's an oasis of calm in the middle of Wigan

Great place, great atmosphere good service

No keg beer. Minimal cask. Could be great, unfortunately not.

This micro bar in ‘The Victorian Quarter’ of Wigan next to the newly refurbished bus station making it an easy trip for customers wanting a drive free night out. They have a range of cask beers from their own Brewery (Prospect) and in addition have regular live music.

It has a good selection of beers and ciders

Beer not the best in town and bar very narrow

Good choice of beers and cider's. Nice relaxing vibe, where you can relax, chat and enjoy a good drink

Bit small but FANTASTIC atmosphere👍🥃

Lovely Real Ale Micro Brewery with great music

Amazing atmosphere, live music and it's located in a beautiful courtyard

A small but nice place for s drink us it's handy for the bus station

Went in 21st July great little venue and saw a brilliant local singer rik Jones

Awesome little bar with great selection of real ciders and local brewed ale

Lovely pub, nice staff, good drinks, nice atmosphere

Micro Pub featuring Martland Mill beers

An unusual find. In the shopping lanes off Wigan bus station, this narrow bar sells cask ales from local producers in a no-nonsense fashion. Basic surroundings, but pleasant nonetheless.

Super beer. Quaint ambience. Reasonably priced

Good selection of beers ,reasonable prices.and i quite like the "beer garden" at the back

Fantastic, best beer house in town ,Pete n Victoria are awesome , if you don't try it you have missed out

2nd best watering hole in Wigan 👍

One of Wigan's best kept secrets. Great ales and staff. There's not a lot of space inside but they have space outside and you can even take your drinks into the cafe opposite if you want to.

Brilliant place, absolutely brilliant beer great atmosphere.. .if your nearby go in what a treat ( no I don't own it).

Great spot for a proper beer, tucked away down a pedestrian mews near Wigan bus station. Fresh ales from a local micro brewery are regularly changed, giving an interesting selection at all times. Ciders also impressive, and there is a full bar selection on top of their specialisms. Friendly staff and a chatty, comfortable atmosphere make it a great place to stop off for a quieter, better pint than in town centre pubs nearby. Live music is regularly available at weekends, along with other events. Highly recommended!

Lovely bar good atmosphere a nice in door beer garden friendly staff and good selection of ales

Best place for a pi t in Wigan.

Barman refused to replace a barcardi and coke. The coke was rancid and flat. They replaced a normal coke but not a barcardi and coke due to the barcardi being expensive. Well... what will be more expensive is me not returning EVER again!! Well done.

Found during a football lockdown. It's only a small brew tap so fills quickly, but service and beer both very good. Bar snacks & pies also available.

Love it in here, great little bar

Out of the way Nice little town centre bar friendly barman clean toilets

Music seems to be what the staff want rather than looking what the age group may want

Great little bar, right in the centre of town, with immediate access to public transport. Good atmosphere and lovely staff

Unless you like real ale and snotty bar staff, stay well clear.

Great little pub, regular live entertainment. Thankfully no TVs. Craft beers made by the owners brewery. Friendly atmosphere and always a few people in there having a pint and a chat

Love this place, real ales and a nice sitting area

Great little pub! Great atmosphere, Nice friendly staff

World needs more places like this and less lager

Little gem of a place and bigger than it looks. Good beer and good atmosphere.
