Quick info
About Anderton's Bar & Kitchen
On Wallgate in Wigan town centre, Anderton's Bar & Kitchen is a sports bar where big TVs carry at least two different sports at the same time. Pool tables give the room something to do beyond watching the screens, and matchday sport and events like the Grand National are shown here. The bar pours a range of beers and ciders, with shots for those who want them. A cocktail menu runs alongside the draught and bottled drinks. The kitchen works from its own food menu, so a meal can go with the sport. The entrance is at 17A Wallgate.

Customer Review Summary
Sport is the main draw, with reviewers repeatedly pointing to football on a Saturday, matchdays and the Grand National on big TVs. Pool tables sit alongside it, and a good drink selection comes up often, including beers, ciders and cheap shots from a bartender singled out for hospitality. Food earns praise too, from good nibbles at decent prices to a new food and cocktail menu called really good. Staff are described as friendly and easy to chat with, the atmosphere as chilled, and one visitor says it never got too crowded. One reviewer calls the bar easy to miss but was glad they found it. The one drawback comes from a single reviewer who says it is not disability friendly because of quite a few steps to get in. Another notes the bar is always showing at least two different sports or games.
