Quick info
About The Borough Arms
The Borough Arms is a pub in Warrington, on Buttermarket St, run by a landlord couple. The back room works as a games space, with a pool table and a darts board for anyone who wants to play and a jukebox for choosing the music. The bar serves John Smith's Bitter and the usual lagers, with no real ale or cask beer. Food is limited to crisps and nuts, so it suits a drink rather than a meal. Dogs are welcome, which means regulars can bring them along for a game or a pint.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff and the landlords who run the pub, describing them as welcoming, attentive, and always ready to chat and laugh. The pool table and darts board in the back room come up next, along with a jukebox with plenty of music, and one pair of visitors stopped in for drinks and a game of pool the day before a festival. Drinks are repeatedly called reasonably priced or fair, and the atmosphere is described as friendly, chilled, and quiet enough to hold a conversation. One reviewer calls it a lovely old fashioned drinking pub, and another notes it is dog friendly. The recurring complaint is about the beer range: two reviewers note there is no cask beer or real ale, with John Smiths Bitter and the usual lagers on offer instead. One adds that there is no food apart from crisps and nuts, and a visitor planning a return trip next time in the area closes out the praise.

“No food (apart from crisps and nuts!) but a genuinely lovely old fashioned drinking pub with a great atmosphere and excellent staff. What more can you want when you just want to go for a pint?”

“We were down a day before creamfields and fancied a little random pub trip so we found this place. Felt like we made a great choice popping in for a couple drinks and a game of pool. Good atmosphere even though it was quite early on a Wednesday afternoon and prices to the drinks are fair”
