Quick info
About The Commercial
On High St in Oldham, The Commercial is a pub and sports bar that takes walk-ins rather than bookings. Multiple TVs around the room show sports, including local football, making it a straightforward spot to catch a match. The drink selection includes cider and Guinness alongside the usual pub range. Outdoor seating is available for anyone who prefers to drink outside, and dogs are welcome, so regulars often bring their pets along. The pub opens daily, keeping it a steady option regardless of the day of the week. There's no on-site parking, but a multistorey car park sits about a 10 minute walk away for those driving in.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often describe a welcoming local pub with friendly staff, nice people and good prices, and one group felt welcomed at their Christmas do. Close behind are the plenty of TVs showing sports, including local football, and a dog friendly feel. One reviewer praises the food and a wonderful waitress, while others call it no frills, with an OK drink selection and a run of the mill fruity cider. Service splits sharply, though. One group of young girls waiting for an Uber was made to wait outside while other customers stayed in, and another reviewer says staff shut the door on three young people who had been chucked out by chanting football fans. One reviewer calls a Guinness poorly pulled and the worst in Uppermill. Another says a bartender shortchanged them after they paid with two notes, and was told she would never make a mistake like that.
