Wigan Central in Wigan

Very good beer and staff are very friendly .

Nice and chilled venue. Great selection of ales to choose from, with helpful and accommodating bar staff .

Always a good selection of beer

Wigan Central is a quirky train inspired craft beer bar. They also have wines & spirits available. They don’t serve food, just bar snacks like cheese platters and pork pies, a wiganers favourite. All the staff are helpful and if you’re stuck on what beer to pick they’re more than happy to assist. The owner is also very clued up on her beer and changes them weekly. The place is also on Untapped which if you’re into your beers is always a juicy bonus. Lots of weekly activities, including quiz nights a monthly music bingo and lots more. It is definitely worth checking out if your train has been cancelled.

Situated underneath the railway arches near Wigan Northwestern rail station. There is always a good selection of real ales and imported beers. Live music. Bar snacks, pork pies usually available.

Great place for guest Beers good choice of bottled beers Hood Atmosphere when live bands are on well worth a visit

Lovely little pub. Great atmosphere and a large variety of beers and ales.

Good selection of beers, friendly staff.

Some really nice beers and reasonably priced

Nice pint and pie, liked that the train timetable was on the wall, nice touch

Nice interior, nice pint. All good!

Great bar, excellent staff, good selection of beer.

Excellent choice and service. Always a welcoming atmosphere

Didn't eat here. Had draft apricot cider, it was lovely. Hubby had Signalman's Ale. Both drinks were really nice. Great atmosphere here too.

Great place lots of choices for drinks the entertainment was great a band charisma was playing they we're fabulous 🤩

Great atmoshere, freindly staff, and a good place to have a catch-up meeting or some time to yourself. Excellent range of non alcoholic beers and a vast range of all other beverages and located behind the trans station with the time and updates of trains cancellations, etc. Good idea to nip here if you have an inter connection train from Wigan stations or fancy nipping over for a try yourself. I certainly was not disappointed. Dog friendly, too, which is always a good attribute yo any public house with nice dogs treats or at least mine enjoyed them. Try this place out you won't be disappointed.

good choice of beer great place for meeting people

Friendly real ale pub great stouts and ciders.

Very popular. Excellent choice of real ales!

Such a friendly atmosphere, great choice of beers,staff so polite, love that they welcome dogs ,

Good beer, good choice and live music. The last Friday in the month the Platform room is taken over by some business thing that basically fills the room. We felt very unwelcome, otherwise I like the Central.

Great bar with a brilliant range of cask and craft beers. Extensive can and bottle range as well. Friendly staff and well worth a visit

Great place. Excellent choice of real ales. Buzzing when I was there on a Friday late afternoon

Mandatory stop in this unique place!

Great bar. Amazing interior. Lovely, friendly lady serving. Love the private booths.

Great real ale selection. Definitely on my return to list!

If you want a good pint in Wigan, go no further.

I haven't eaten here but the menu does look quite enticing

Great, clean pub. Large selection of ales. Nice food. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

Nipped in for a drink very nice town centre bar railway theme next to the station would certainly go back.

Great range of real ale, brilliant atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Love the look of the place. Never had a bad experience in there, a firm favourite with friends and three generations of my family.

Always a great time here. Good people staff and customers. Keep up the great work..

Great place, great atmosphere, dog 🐕 friendly, staff friendly, great choice of real ale 🍺, my partner love the scotch eggs,& cheese board,

Great place for craft beers and ciders. Sat outside in the sun with a Woo Woo cider and it was a very pleasant afternoon

In the throws of refurb on our visit so unfair to comment on the place itself but hoping to go back when complete. Good ale on tap but limited choice.

Nest pub in Wigan bar none! A brilliant conversion of the old railway bridge arches reflecting its heritage. It has a fantastic selection of craft beers on cask, keg, and cans. Pies are must with your pint.

Awesome selection of beers, really nice idea, good layout, was properly busy but still got served in good times. Staff fantastic, very friendly. Train times on screens in the pub, great idea. Will be back

Great selection of beers in a handy location

Love Wigan Central, staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. I particularly love the zero alcohol IPA,s. Dog friendly too, win, win.

Great selection of Cask ales. Had a decent stout served at the right temperature. Biggish place compared to many with some nice little booths to hide in. Staff welcoming and friendly.

Love going here. Value for money. Not too far from town. Friendly staff.

Great entertainment, fabulous staff

Just good beer and atmosphere. Prefer quieter nights like these

Great beers and great service from all the staff. My favourite place in Wigan. 🤪

Top place in Wigan. Excellent beer and atmosphere. Good value drink

Great choice of real ales & craft beers

Love this bar, great beer always

Good little bar, well, not too little

Nice vibes in a nice pub in a...town. The staff were very courteous in spite of our incredulity. The drinks were reasonably priced and the best quality around. It's worth going out of your way for

Great selection of beers and very pleasant and helpful staff

Real Ale bar in an old railway arch. Always a great selection of beers. One of the few places in wigan with decent wine. Good selection of live music at the weekend

Great beer and great customer service. The team at this venue are brilliant. 5⭐️ Well Done

Fantastic news style Bar with traditional values. Great selection of ales and ciders and I can highly recommend the cheese board platter.

It was middle of the road, its good if you're train is delayed and you need a quick pint

Really bright lights in function room. Not great for performers or audience. Very high wooden bar style stools. Not great for us middle aged drinkers. Not enough seats. Atmosphere is subdued.

Love this place great beer great staff

Great selection and lovely staff

Great bar with excellent beverage choices. Extremely helpful and friendly staff well worth a visit when in Wigan.

Such a great place. All sorts of nice beers from the local area and beyond. Really friendly service. And the place itself is themed like a railway station. I didn't try any food. But the snacks looked delicious.

Always a great selection of ales on and the atmosphere is amazing. It's a must especially if you're a train nerd like me

Fantastic pub,will definitely be going back 👍👍🍺🍺🍺

All round great bar with a great selection of ales.

Cracking pub, great selection of beers, lovely pleasant staff. First visit, won't be our last 👍

A good selection of Beer and a great atmosphere

Great beer choice and atmosphere Jo the owner good host and knows her stuff on beer's

Excellent pub, superb attention to detail with the train theme. Lovely beers and atmosphere. Only gripe is I wish it had a staple gluten free beer on draught. Sadly I'm allergic to it and it's always a lottery if I can have a beer on draught or not, 50% of time there is a guest ale on that I can enjoy!

Well served beer.. good choice as well. Just up the road from the station

Great warm and friendly and of course great selection of beer

Great place to call in for a few when travelling around or locally. 2 minute walk from the station, great choice of drinks and snacks. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Always enjoy visiting.

Great craft beer bar with a constantly rotating selection of keg and cask beers, all of which is well looked after. Staff are attentive and knowledgeable, and there's a really well-stocked can library for takeout or drinking in. They do bar snacks (cheeseboard, pork pies, scotch eggs and the like) but a poor selection for vegans. They have collaborated in the past with Hideout (2 arches down) who do made-to-order pizza, and that's a better selection food-wise but it's not always available. Regular themed beer festivals and events (check their FB page for what's on and upcoming). 1 star off for Atmosphere only because it gets rammed in there on a Sunday afternoon when they usually have a guitar and mic act on, which is not really my thing but it is very popular.

Great selection of beers at a good price. Chilled atmosphere

Really friendly staff. Real ale. Live music and a sharing board. I’m in heaven

Didn't eat, it is Christmas time so the place was great. Everyone was in the holiday mood. Great afternoon

Great place for craft ales and just a short walk from the train station. Visited several times, staff are very accommodating, highly recommend venue!

Best pub snacks around! If you want something more substantial you can bring in food from other venues near by.

Great range of real ales. Friendly staff.

Great railway themed ale house. Extensive selection of ales to drink in on tap or from the keg and an even bigger selection that can be taken away in cans. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff who were more than happy to make recommendations and give us some background info on the takeaway can selection. Fab find!

Very near the station, just turn left and under the bridge. Good selection of beer and nice atmosphere.

As good selection of beers and great service. 👍

Good selection of real ales and pie's

It's my preferred watering hole in Wigan centre, great atmosphere, no trouble, good beers

Very good service. Good beers.

Great beer, good atmosphere in the centre of Wigan, two train stations close by, go no further

Great beer don't miss the train.......!!!

Great bar live music guest beer's traditional and contemporary feel to this place

Great craft beer range. Friendly staff. Convivial atmosphere

Lovely, friendly staff. Thank you so much.🙂

Always good here. Busy but not overly. Food platters they have introduced are lovely and tasty. Perfect to nibble while having a drink. For those who like cask or flavoured beers there is always something new to try. Lots of outdoor seating for smokers and dog friendly. Staff always friendly and toilets kept nice and clean xx

What a absolute belter of a pub this is. Situated under a railway bridge which carrys a railway theme of the inside of the pub. It has a very unique feeling towards it which i love. It does get very busy later on and finding seating can be a challenge but if you do get the seat then you are in for a treat. the food is also lovely with classic pub snacks such as pork pies and scotch eggs.

Good but leigh fans where there

Top beers at good prices. Friendly pub and good atmosphere. Sometimes there is just too much choice 😂

Nice place,good selection of beers,not tried the food yet,been a couple of times, I will definitely go again

Sunday 18th June 2023 This Wigan real ale pub near both Wigan train stations is a essential vital for all real ale drinkers coming to this town At least 7 great interesting hand pumped ales on Great local following great staff and besides the inside drinking areas it has a good street beer garden to the front of this establishment Well done everybody involved with making this place so good

Great place to go if you like craft beer! You can sample before you buy. Some nice people 👌

Love it...Great place for range of beers

Excellent pub great staff always made to feel welcome. Quality of service and drinks always absolutely spot on.

Fantastic choice of ales. If real ale or craft ales are you thing, this bar should be top of your list if you are in Wigan

Only pub, I've found fresh wheat beer

Fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable staff - and great choice of beer

Very friendly bar with an excellent and changing range of beers. Has the train times too! We keep coming back here because of the choice of real ales. They also have really good beer festivals.
