White Lion in Bolton

Cracking pub. Great atmosphere 👌

Excellent pub and darting atmosphere....🎯the food is immense especially the jacket spuds cheese beans and crispy onion 🌰 😋

Great place, good selection of beer and fantastic staff!

Very traditional old style pub, loved it

Such a lovely place for breakfast lunch or dinner friendly staff, amazing outdoor area and inside too with plenty food choices that I find not to bad for expense

Got over charged for buying my friends drinks by at leat 12+quid, next time a new customer turns up and looks well off think again, I dress nice but reality is I'm a poor man just doing something nice for my work colleagues

White Lion always excells with the finest pint of Joseph Holts Bitter in Westhoughton & Bolton. Fantastic bar staff & Landford. Best Juke Box in Westhoughton.

Just a great traditional boozer

Nice.. cosy with outside seats

This is a bit of a locals pub. It is what it is. It's a Holt house, a little bit rough, but unashamed. If you want ponsy, go to the other end of the street. Drunk here for over 40 years off and on. Moved away, and it is still.my'm going to pub when I return home.

Simply the best pub in westhoughton,staff ,beer excellent,great atmosphere at any time.

Exceptional local pub. Ian's a spot on landlord who pours the perfect pint to sample the great atmosphere..

Great pub with a fantastic, friendly atmosphere.

Friendly staff nice and busy with a great atmosphere.

Saturday 4th February went to this place for a few drinks with the missus. Parked car on car park.. Asked the question to one of the ladies behind the bar is the car going to be ok.. yes no problem. Had quite a number of drinks (non alcoholic for me), missus on the Bierre moretti. Well then received a parking charge from smart parking this came through the post on the 06/03/2023 Issued 24/02/2023 Over 1 month to receive a ticket..... Asked in message to whitelion you must have CCTV footage of us inside. Apparently cameras didn't go back that for. Absolute scum is this pub. Not finished with this going to fight this parking charge in courts if it goes that far. Absolutely fuming £60.00 jokers

A Cracking Sunday afternoon, great company, loved it....

Fantastic real pub. Holts ales are 1st class here. Expect warmth & welcome.

Holts Bitter is always good from my point of view. Nice pub . Great people. Winner.

Great pint great atmosphere great music!

A brilliant traditional Holts pub untouched by time. Really friendly landlord and staff. The Bitter was excellent and the atmosphere was friendly and full of characters !!! Lots of small rooms and a good beer garden.

Good pub. Beer really well looked after.

Old school looking pub with friendly staff. Nice beer garden.

Great oldy worldly pub just love the charm and atmosphere a real gem too visit and great for a night out too good music as well warm and inviting

Nice pub with a good atmosphere and good beer

Charged £100 for a packing ticket helping someone that had broken down landlord wouldn't help and get ticket quashed

Best pub in Westhoughton serving real ales.

Brilliant like it always is 👍🍺🍺

Great traditional pub serving great bitter and lager. Definitely worth a visit

This is an excellent friendly pub, Holt's ales. And the price is right. Always call in when we are in Westhoughton.

Very good pub. Great selection of beers and spirits. Lovely friendly bar staff 👍 Sports on the TV too if that's your thing.

Had a night out in white lion with friends, partner came to pick me up pulled on car park called me to say she was here she was on the car park a total of 8 mins didn't get out of car or turn engin off, 4 days later a £60 parking fine arrived we didn't know of any parking restrictions for picking people up from the premises, later found out you have to give your number plate behind the bar, fair enough if you parking long stay but not for picking people up who have spent quite a bit of money in the premises, not happy with the explanation by the company who managed it just fobbed me off so won't be going back NOT HAPPY

Friendly pub with top bar staff and excellent beer...good tv coverage and juke box

Always a good place to go Friendly crowd Good music/beer

Great pint first visit looks a good local

Proper pub . No frills just good beer and good company.

Best was the first pub I went in since lockdown and the staff were great and helpful make sure everyone kept the distance great service would give it 100-percent well done staff.

Test and trace optional. Ice cold pint of crystal lager on a really hot day fantastic .Quiet but most people in beer garden .listening radio inside a bit annoying no TV on.not even horse racing. Ok.

Just received a £60/£100 parking charge for an hour on their car park having called in with friends for an hour earlier this month !!!! No phone number for them that works on the website.

Holt pub, full of local characters and often good fun at peak times.

Great atmosphere,great staff,plenty of places to watch TV and has a great beer garden

Good music, special offers!! . Really is a nice place

Lively holts pub with cheap doubles and bottled holts ales

Great music great atmosphere, reasonable prices

One of a clutch of Joseph Holt pubs that have survived too much mucking about of the interior. Thus you have a multi-room layout with two entrances, one for vault, the other for the main lounge. Both are connected, so you can use either door. Period decor, and a sense of solidity, plus cask Bitter all add to a great pub.

Nice old real pub not like these new pubs trying to look old

Good beer & lovely friendly staff

Top dollar pub well worth the visit.and the beer is bob on

Decided on a drink here Friday evening ordered a rhubarb and ginger gin with lemonade was told they had run out so ordered a glass of zinfandel again they hadn't got any....friday usually a busy evening the beginning of the weekend not good enough won't be returning any time soon!!!

Another local pub that's had a major change. Looking great. Had a fantastic night out x

Great atmosphere...nice beer and good prices

Great . I love going there. People will go out of there way to make you feel welcome.

Good old school pub. As its a Holts pub there ale is decent to as well as the prices. Can get abit busy when the footies so if you go at this time expect to be standing.

Paid a fleeting visit yesterday when I noticed it was Holts. I wasn`t disappointed . A proper traditional pub, with seperate rooms serving very nice Bitter.

Abousultey brilliant night loved it

An original bar with good beer.

Traditional pub. No food served but you can bring in your own such providing the food isn't served behind the bar. Everyone welcome, including children. Heated smoking area with table benches, also on the beer garden. Proper townies pub. Good fun.

Go back in time here, but be sincere, no modern convince, just good beer served the old way.

Fantastic pub, the best in westhoughton. A fabulous landlord and landlady who make everyone feel welcome. Fantastic beer at very reasonable prices and service always comes with a smile from any of the lovely girls behind the bar or Ian. Good music and entertainment. Nice clean beer garden with heating, so it doesn't matter if it's cold you can have a warm. Just a perfect all round family pub.

Traditional pub, landlady, landlord & bar staff are excellent. Holt's beers 😁

Great pub great beer great landlord🍺🍺🍺

fantastic traditional pub. great pint of holts bitter

Historic pub , Westhoughton , People are so friendly and the beer is excellent , wonderful Town !

1920's pub. Which has recently been named in the top 21 places to visit in the UK according to the M.E.N.

Decent atmosphere and mobility scooter roadshows

This pub maintains an electronic jukebox but will actively censor your music choices should they not be deemed "worthy" by the staff. Beware if you enjoy any kind of rock, including Foo Fighters, as your choice will be rendered invalid for the sake of some mass produced pop tripe. Obviously some people's money and choices are worth less than other's at this location.

Great pint of Holt bitter. Fabulous pub. Marvelous interior.

Nice, friendly, staff and the locals are truly out of this world.
