The Bowling Green in Ashton

Ah, The Bowling Green – it's one of those pubs that really captures the heart of the local scene in Ashton-under-Lyne, you know? From what I've gathered, it's all about that community spirit, with staff who go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and events that bring people together for a laugh. The atmosphere is spot on for a relaxed evening, whether you're popping in for a quick drink or settling in for the night, and it's refreshing to find a place where the beers don't break the bank. That 4.0 rating speaks volumes about the good times had here, with plenty of folks raving about the great vibes and original charm. But let's be straight, it's not without its downsides – there's that odd smell that's cropped up in reviews, which honestly puts a bit of a dampener on things and could use some attention to keep the place tip-top. Overall, if you're after a genuine, down-to-earth spot to unwind with friends, it's worth a visit, just maybe keep an eye out for those little improvements they'd benefit from.
