About This Pub

Ah, the Victoria Inn in Wigan – it's one of those pubs that really captures the heart of a community, you know? From the reviews, it sounds like the staff go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, whether you're popping in for a quick drink or joining in on the karaoke and pool nights. Folks have raved about the affordable prices and that homely atmosphere, which makes it a top spot for catching up with mates or just unwinding after a long day. It's got this community-obsessed ethos, like they're all about giving back and creating good times, which is lovely to see. But, to keep it real, there have been a few grumbles about it getting noisy in the evenings, with music blasting out and people chatting loudly, which could be a downside if you live nearby or prefer somewhere a bit more subdued. Overall, though, with a solid 4.3 rating from the crowd, I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area – just maybe plan for an earlier evening to avoid any potential disturbances. It's that kind of place where the good vibes usually outweigh the minor niggles, making it a solid choice for us pub enthusiasts.

Cons
  • There can be some noise issues late at night, with music and crowds spilling out, which might disturb nearby residents or spoil the peace if you're after a quiet evening.

  • From what I've seen, the food options aren't always highlighted, and some visits might feel a bit hit or miss if you're hoping for a full meal.

Didn't eat here, just popped for a drink in as we walked past by. There was only other person in at 3.10pm. As we left another couple walked in. Nice, pleasant staff. Nice pint. Will pop in again.

It's now past midnight and this cheap, tacky dump is still blasting out garbage music. Windows wide open. Soon all the chavvy drunks will be outside on the street arguing, swearing and shouting, disturbing all the local residents. Isn't it illegal to play music after 11.30 pm? Will be contacting Wigan council first thing Monday morning. People are getting tired of this now, we had a reprieve during lockdown. Obviously the landlady can't cope with this pub, it needs shutting down.
