About Royton Rumours Limited
Royton Rumours Limited, a bar at Wraggs Tavern in Royton, Oldham, gives its Friday and Saturday nights over to karaoke hosted by a DJ, so anyone who wants to sing has two set nights a week to plan around. No booking is needed, and drinkers simply walk in and order at the bar, where coffee sits alongside the usual drinks for anyone not on alcohol. An outdoor area gives customers the option of drinking outside, and in hot weather the doors and windows are opened so that space stays linked to the bar itself. A step-free entrance means visitors with mobility needs can get in without steps to negotiate. The bar opens daily, with Sunday evenings running as well as the weekend nights. Door staff work the venue.

Customer Review Summary
Karaoke is the draw reviewers raise most, with a DJ and a karaoke host credited for lively Friday and Saturday nights where everyone is in a party mood. Close behind are the cheap drinks, which reviewers repeatedly call affordable, and a friendly crowd and bar staff, with one reviewer calling the landlady generous. The atmosphere is described as great and brilliant, and a couple of reviewers mention the outside area and sun trap, with one noting the doors and windows were open on a hot night so the outdoor space still felt connected. One reviewer who brought an elderly mother was offered instant coffee when the coffee machine was out of use, the only shortfall anyone mentions. Another reviewer says the bouncer looked after a drunk young nephew, putting his phone on charge and calling the boy's mum until a relative arrived.

“Always had a drink in here, cheap drinks, good service and always a good crowd! My young nephew was there this Saturday and had a few too many, the bouncers often get a hard time in Royton but the bouncer here (Jordan) put his phone on charge, called his mum who got hold of me and then looked after him till I got there, top fella!”
