The Red Herring in Chorley

Ah, The Red Herring – it's one of those pubs that really stands out in Chorley for its welcoming feel and solid drinks selection. From the reviews I've had a look at, most folks are buzzing about the friendly owner and the great atmosphere, which makes it a top choice for a casual night out. You've got all the classics here: a big screen to catch the footie, pool tables for a bit of fun, and darts if you're in the mood for some friendly competition. The beers are spot on too, with plenty of options that go down a treat, and it's all at prices that won't break the bank, which is always a win in my book. On the flip side, though, a few people have mentioned the music being cranked up way too loud, which can make it tough to have a proper catch-up over your pint – you might end up outside just to hear yourself think. And there's that odd review about the owner not always being the easiest to deal with, which is a bit of a shame because it could sour an otherwise great visit. Overall, if you're after a lively spot with good vibes and games, it's worth a go, but maybe skip it if you're hoping for a quiet, relaxed chat.
