About House Without A Name
House Without A Name is a pub in Bolton at 75-77 Lea Gate, with screens showing football and other live sport. Low ceilings carry the original beams, and the inside divides into two rooms, a small one to the left and a larger one to the right, plus a little snug at the front. The bar pours cask beers, including Holts and Timothy Taylor Landlord, and the food menu offers pizzas alongside a small selection of pies and snacks. Dogs are welcome inside. Seats are hard to come by at peak times, when people stand at the bar.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the friendly, welcoming staff and the beer, with well kept cask ales and a good selection singled out, including Holts and Timothy Taylor Landlord, which one drinker called a good pint. Close behind is the traditional feel, with low ceilings, original beams and old features that give it a home from home vibe, plus large screens showing football. Food draws mixed comments: one reviewer calls the pizzas great, another mentions a small selection of pies and snacks, and a third says the food has room for improvement. The main complaint is crowding. One reviewer calls it a victim of its own success, saying seats are hard to find at peak times and people standing at the bar make ordering frustrating, and another describes the inside as tight. One also finds it expensive. A couple of reviewers say they would return, and one visitor who sat in the little snug at the front ended up chatting with locals.
