Hogarths Pub in Farnworth

About This Pub

So, picture this: you're in the heart of Bolton at Hogarths, this grand old Victorian spot that's all about gin and good times. I love how they've nailed the gin scene with over 140 varieties, each one served up just right to highlight those lovely botanicals – it's like they've thought of everything for us gin enthusiasts. Then there's the live music on weekends and all those screens showing the big sports matches, which really gets the place jumping and makes for a cracking atmosphere to catch up with friends. Oh, and don't overlook their micro-brewery ales; they're brewed right there and add a nice local touch. The beer garden is a winner in the warmer months too, with plenty of space to unwind. But, to be fair, it's not all roses – it does get packed, especially on busy nights, and I've heard a few tales of staff not handling things as smoothly as they could, like with accessibility issues, which is a bit disappointing. Still, with such a solid overall rating, it's worth a visit if you're up for a bit of hustle and bustle; just go in with your eyes open and you'll likely have a brilliant time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

They've got an incredible selection of over 140 gins, all served with perfect garnishes to bring out the best flavours – it's a gin lover's paradise!
The live music and sports screenings on multiple TVs create a buzzing, electric atmosphere that's perfect for a fun night out with mates.
Their own micro-brewery offers some cracking cask ales, and the cosy booths and spacious beer garden make it a great spot to relax, especially in the summer.
Prices are spot on for what you get, making it an affordable choice for a good time in the town centre.

Cons

It can get really busy, which might not suit everyone if you're after a quiet pint – the crowds add to the vibe but can feel a bit overwhelming.
There have been some reports of less than ideal interactions with security and management, like questioning folks about disabilities, which is a shame and could put some people off.

They held a niceties 40's event, commemorative day for VE Day along with a fantastic live evening's of music. Great atmosphere. Have now noticed a hot pies glass servery on the Bar for the peckish amongst us. All in All a great time was had by all.

Disgusting behaviour from both security and management. I was asked 3 separate times what my disability was and why I needed the disabled toilet. I even had what I assume the manager wait outside the bathroom for me. Thankfully a friend waited outside and told them I am within my right to use the bathroom and set them straight. The security guard thankfully did apologise, the manager did not. All staff needs disability and sensitivity training. Not all disabilities are visible and it is also nobody's business what disability I have.

Spent a night in here on a trip from Glasgow. The bouncers on the door were absolutely brilliant. So friendly and finding us a table on a very busy Saturday night. Sat us on balcony like VIP's and came up several times during the night to see if everything was ok. Would definitely recommend. Drinks very reasonably priced.

Great town centre pub serving a large variety of beers with live music at weekends. There’s a reasonable outdoor seating area at the front of the pub. Plenty of Tv showing live sports events

The live music was great, visited on st George's day, Boltons finest were out in force. A bit busy for my taste but everyone was having a good time and the prices are value for money.
