About This Pub
Ah, The Wellington – it's one of those no-fuss pubs in Bolton that really hits the spot for a laid-back evening with friends. I love how the bar staff are so cheerful and efficient; they make you feel like a regular from the get-go. The music's spot on too, especially with that weekend DJ spinning tunes that get everyone in the mood for a laugh. It's brilliant for watching the footy or having a game of pool, and at £3 a pint, you can enjoy a few without worrying about the cost. But honestly, it's not all perfect – the toilets are an absolute letdown, feeling cold and neglected, which might put you off if you're there for a longer session. And while most people rave about it, there are a couple of stories about it not being the friendliest place, so it might depend on the night. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual pint in Farnworth, as long as you keep your expectations realistic.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The bar staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, quick, and make you feel right at home.
-
It's got a cracking atmosphere with great music and a lively DJ on weekends, perfect for a good singalong.
-
Opens late, especially on Fridays and Saturdays till 2am, so you can keep the night going.
-
Beers are really affordable, like £3 a pint for Coors – won't dent your wallet at all.
-
Fun touches like a pool table and showing big games, ideal for a casual hang with mates.
Cons
-
The toilets are in a right state – freezing, horrible, and badly in need of an update, which puts a damper on things.
-
A few folks have mentioned it feeling a bit unwelcoming at times, which is a shame for what could be a great spot.

Really good quality I love it such nice staff
Bar staff great,
Open late with good music.
Toilets are the worst thing about this place, they are freezing, horrible and drastically need updating.
Went there yesterday to watch the England v Iran game. Great pub and great bunch of guys! It's also got a pool table too and the beer is very cheap! I had coors which was only £3 a pint.
This is an amazing pub. Bar staff are friendly and very fast. The weekend dj is a good laugh and plays some amazing songs. Open till 2am Friday and Saturday night.
No stars deserved for this place! Absolute disgrace & unwelcoming!!! Highly recommend going to any of the other bars in Farnworth. My very 1st visit here (since relocating from Glasgow) and was out with a couple of female friends (52 yo & 65 yo - who are local). We decided to visit all the local bars for a drink, all were welcoming & friendly but when we reached this place it was complete opposite! It was Karaoke/Disco night on the Friday...I put 1 of my friends names up for a song, only to be told that they decided to stop karaoke at 10pm but for someone else to sing afterwards...their excuse was that she was the act for the following week wanting to test equipment...her voice was ridiculously bad & to be fair...which singer needs karaoke?? I would say that it would prevent people going in that week but it was empty anyway so couldn't be any worse!!! Then there was an atmosphere where you could feel the owner/manager & door stewards speaking about me & staring rather strangely! Never felt so unwelcomed in my life! Don't think I'll be rushing back anytime soon!!! Best part...after the obvious ongoing staring & chatting about me/my friends...but most likely me...as we went to leave the owner/manager came to offer us to sing to which my response was "no thanks, never felt so unwelcome & won't be rushing back"...then for her to try act surprised with my comment was hysterical...I mean really?!? Why make people unwelcome then try being friendly afterwards when you realise just how wrong you are!! Time for a staffing re-shuffle I think!!! STAY AWAY IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY YOUR NIGHT & NOT FEEL UNEASY!!!
